How is a deep plane facelift different from a traditional facelift?

The deep plane technique repositions deeper facial tissues, muscles, and fat rather than just tightening the skin. This provides a more natural, long-lasting lift, especially for the midface, cheeks, and jawline.

Who is a good candidate for this advanced facelift procedure?

Ideal candidates are healthy adults concerned with sagging cheeks, jowls, or deep folds who desire natural results and have realistic expectations about recovery and outcomes.

What is recovery like after a deep plane facelift?

Most patients experience swelling and mild discomfort for 1-2 weeks. Our drainless techniques and comprehensive support help minimize downtime, with most returning to social activities in about two weeks.

Will my results look natural or "overdone"?

Our philosophy prioritizes restoration and subtlety. Dr. Humenansky's expertise ensures you look refreshed and rested, not stretched or unnatural.

Is the deep plane facelift performed in your Chapin office?

Depending on your needs and anesthesia plan, procedures may be performed in our boutique office or at a trusted surgery center. All safety protocols are met for each setting.

How long do the results typically last?

Deep plane facelift results are known for their longevity, often lasting 10 years or more with healthy lifestyle and skincare maintenance.

What does the consultation fee cover?

Our $100 consultation fee is applied toward your surgical treatment but cannot be used for products or injectables. This ensures personalized, high-quality care from the start.
