Deep plane facelift achieves a more intense facelift without looking artificial or too tight. The result is a youthful appearance and sharp contours. The effect also lasts longer than a conventional facelift.
-
More natural results

Deeper layers in the subcutaneous tissue are also worked on, resulting in overall firming and rejuvenation, including the areas around the eyes and mouth.
-
Minimal scarring
Thanks to the advanced technique, there is less tissue damage and faster healing with less visible scarring.
What is a deep plane facelift?
A deep plane facelift is an advanced facial plastic surgery technique that targets the deeper layers of facial tissue. Unlike a regular facelift, which works with the superficial layers of the skin, a deep plane facelift manipulates deeper structures, allowing for more natural and lasting results.
Who is the procedure suitable for and what problem does it solve?
- People with sagging facial contours - The procedure is ideal for those who suffer from loose facial and neck skin, which is behind the loss of defined facial contours.
- People with deep wrinkles and folds - It helps smooth out deep wrinkles, especially in the nasolabial fold area.
- Clients with volume loss in the cheekbone area - Restores volume to the cheeks and visually lifts the cheeks, making the face appear more youthful and attractive.
- Clients looking for long-term results - This procedure is suitable for those looking for a more permanent facial rejuvenation solution with long-lasting effects.
The procedure is suitable for anyone who is concerned about sagging features in the face and neck and loss of contour, regardless of age .
The difference between a facelift and a deep plane facelift
A conventional facelift focuses mainly on the superficial layers of skin and subcutaneous tissue, which can lead to a less natural effect that also doesn't last very long. A deep plane facelift, however, works with the deeper layers, providing a stable rejuvenation and firming of the face. This technique not only allows the skin to be lifted, but also allows the sagging facial tissue to shift and the muscle structures to be strengthened, greatly improving the overall result.
The surgery begins with an incision around the earlobe. We then release the different layers of tissue - after lifting the skin, we guide the incision into the SMAS layer and reach underneath. We move the flaccid tissue to a more favourable position and fix it back with sutures. We remove the excess skin and fix the operated area with compression for proper healing.
Combination with other procedures
Deep plane facelift surgery can be effectively combined with other procedures to achieve optimal results:
- Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty): to rejuvenate the area around the eyes.
- Deep plane necklift: To firm and rejuvenate the neck.
- Lip lift: For a youthful and full lip shape.
- Browlift: Direct or subperiosteal (endoscopic).
- Fat grafting: To add volume where needed.
- Dermatological treatments: such as laser treatments or microneedle radiofrequency to further improve skin quality.

×The most trusted clinic
Thanks to you, we hold the prestigious award of Most Trusted Aesthetic Medicine Clinic in the country since 2021.
The course of the procedure
Independent consultation
The first step to facial plastic surgery is to meet with the surgeon of your choice. You will discuss with him your ideas and expectations about the result and together you will find the best possible solution.
Details of the procedure
The doctor will also introduce you to other procedures that can be combined with a deep plane facelift. Clients often opt for eyelid surgery or a neck lift.
Procedure date and pre-operative examination
If you decide to have the procedure during your initial consultation, you and your surgeon will agree on the date of the procedure itself and the date of a comprehensive pre-operative examination. This will take place at our clinic.
Duration of the procedure
Deep plane facelift takes approximately 3 to 4 hours and is performed under general anesthesia.
Little visible scarring
The incisions are made around the earlobes and in the hairline, so the scars are almost invisible after healing.
Hospitalization
After facial plastic surgery, you will stay in our clinic for 1-2 days. If you live in the same city, we will arrange a free ride home. If you live elsewhere, please arrange for a loved one to drive you.
Observe the resting regime
We will leave a bandage on your head for 5-7 days. After that, no further compresses or sleeves are worn. After 14 days, most of the bruising and swelling should be gone and you can return to your normal activities. Sports activities are appropriate after 1 month. You can start lymphatic and pressure massage 2 weeks after the procedure to help soften the scars.
Treatments in dermatology
For the best result of the procedure, we recommend treatment of wrinkles in the mid-face. After surgery, we often perform botulinum toxin or hyaluronic acid injections and various laser treatments.
Long-term effect
The youthful appearance after a facelift lasts for many years, but it does not prevent further aging and wrinkling. If necessary, you can repeat the procedure after a few years.
You often wonder
Unfortunately, no. In order to perform the operation, the skin must be completely healthy, i.e. free of purulent deposits and skin diseases.
Yes, I am! We also perform a modern method of facelift with a long-lasting effect, the great advantage of which is the outpatient execution under local anaesthesia. This procedure is called MyFaceLift. It is an effective combination of the effect of a classic facelift with the shorter recovery time of a minimally invasive procedure.
We recommend filling the wrinkles around the mouth only after complete healing after the surgery, i.e. 2 months after the surgery at the earliest, or at the same time as the surgery, using your own fat.
The duration of wearing compression underwear (called halters) is always individual. It depends on how quickly the client heals. The approximate time is 2-4 weeks, for smokers healing usually takes longer. The doctor will tell you more at the check-up according to your current condition.
Yes. We even perform this combination of interventions quite often.
Definitely yes. With the passage of time, we recommend our clients additional treatment of small scars and wrinkles in the face with the methods performed by our corrective dermatologists at the clinic. For the most perfect result we most often offer hyaluronic acid fillers and botulinum toxin application, very often also various laser treatments. The facelift is used to tighten the lower and outer part of the face, but the medium remains unchanged. This is why it is ideal to go to a dermatologist afterwards.
A minilift is less invasive and also cheaper than a facelift, but the result of a minilift is usually smaller. The facelift is performed under general anesthesia, so it is followed by a one-day hospitalization in the clinic. With a minilift, we remove a smaller amount of skin. At your pre-operative appointment, your doctor will discuss your options in detail and help you choose the right solution for your problem.
