Deep-Plane Facelift –
Every operation or treatment is about the best possible individual compromise between effect, risk, downtime, ...
The idea behind a deep-plane facelift is through more effort & risk a more effect The idea is not new. Even as a young plastic surgeon, I was eager to learn, attending conferences in the USA. At the time, a twin study showed that additional risk does not necessarily have to pay off. Even gentle facelift variants are extremely effective with the right concept. At the time, the study was about comparing two facelifts on identical twins. The competitors were Sam Hamra (deep) and Daniel Baker (SMAS-Plication). At a conference, both results were compared and evaluated by colleagues. It turned out that no technique was superior to the other.
Thanks to Dr. Andrew Jacono (who performed Marc Jacobs' facelift), the deep plane facelift is becoming popular again. It loosens several muscle bands on the skull bone in order to rotate the sunken cheek volume back into place, for example. The pulling during a classic facelift can sometimes lead to unnatural results and the "windswept" look associated with "superficial" facelifts. With a deep plane facelift, the tightening process takes place deep in the muscles, so that the skin, muscles and fat structures remain untouched.
Find below the frequently asked questions about the deep-plane facelift:
What anesthesia is used?
This is decided in consultation with the surgeon and anesthetist. We offer you primarily a twilight sleep or in some cases also a gentle general anesthesia Each form of anesthesia has certain advantages and disadvantages. Ultimately, it is usually an individual decision. Aspects that can play a role in the decision are:
twilight sleep or gentle general anesthesia
- man doesn't notice anything from the operation - fall asleep... wake up... and everything is done. The injection of the local anesthetic is usually not that bad. But if you don't want to notice anything during the operation, you're better off with a twilight sleep.
Do I have to stay overnight for my Deep Plane Facelift in Klagenfurt / Carinthia?
After a deep-plane facelift in Klagenfurt, we would recommend that you spend the first night on site with a nurse.
You should be on site for at least 3-4 hours after a twilight sleep before you can go home again.
On day after surgery there is a control with dressing change.
A further check is scheduled after about a week and a final check after about 3 months.
How big is the incision and the scar?
This varies and will be discussed in detail during the first or second interview.
Do stitches need to be removed after the operation?
We use self-dissolving sutures. After about 10 days, an inspection is carried out to see where the sutures above the surface are shortened.
How long should I rest after a deep plane facelift in Klagenfurt / Carinthia?
You should take it easy for 2-3 weeks. With sensitivity and common sense, you will usually be able to take it easy enough. The basic rule is: do not lift more than 5kg, do not make any sudden movements, do not work overhead.
But you are not sick, which means you should move around. The operated area should be protected, however. When lying down, turning to the left and right is permitted and advisable. Otherwise, you risk back pain if you just lie on your back with cramps. Obviously, you should not lie on the operated area or the surgical wound itself.
How much does my deep plane facelift cost in Klagenfurt Carinthia?
Prices and Costs can be found as a separate section in our stories.
The final surgical costs depend on several factors. Therefore, they are always individual
The following factors, among others, play a role in the costs:
- day surgery or overnight stay
- planned duration of surgery
- surgical difficulty or effort
In a detailed first consultation, the costs can usually be calculated very precisely. All decisions should have been made by the second consultation at the latest. From then on, an exact calculation of the costs and the price is possible.
