Extended Deep Plane Facelift

It’s crucial to remember that every individual and their aging process are unique. Consulting Dr Varsak is essential to understand the most suitable approach based on your specific needs, concerns, and desired outcomes.

Facial aging is a natural process caused by a combination of factors like gravity, genetics, and sun exposure. It manifests as:

  • Loss of volume: Cheeks and mid-face appear sunken.
  • Skin laxity: Sagging skin in jowls, jawline, and neck.
  • Deepening wrinkles and folds: Lines become more prominent, especially around the nose and mouth (nasolabial folds).
  • Eyelid concerns: Drooping eyelids and under-eye puffiness.

Extended Deep Plane Facelift

  • More natural-looking results – By addressing deeper structures, the procedure aims to achieve a more youthful appearance, avoiding an “overdone” look.
  • Longer-lasting results – By addressing the underlying causes of sagging, deep plane facelifts can potentially offer longer-lasting improvements.
  • Improved definition – The procedure can enhance the definition of the jawline and cheekbones.

The extended version of the procedure offers additional benefits:

  • Mid-face rejuvenation: Addresses volume loss and sagging in the mid-face area, creating a more harmonious overall rejuvenation.
  • Combined surgeries: Can be combined with other procedures, such as neck lift, blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), or lip lift for a comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

Scarring and Recovery

  • While every incision leaves a scar, deep plane facelift techniques minimize tension on the skin, potentially leading to less noticeable scars.
  • Proper incision placement and closure techniques further contribute to a better cosmetic outcome. Individual factors like smoking and underlying health conditions can impact wound healing and scar formation.

  Addressing Concerns

  • Facial expressions: The procedure typically doesn’t affect facial expressions because the underlying muscle anatomy remains unchanged. It can actually improve unwanted static expressions caused by sagging tissues.
  • Facial deformity – This is not expected in a correctly performed extended deep plane facelift. Excessive force or improper technique can lead to unnatural-looking results.

Procedure Duration and Results

  • The surgery duration can vary depending on the complexity and any combined procedures. It typically ranges from 4 to 8 hours.
  • Results: Deep plane facelift results can last for 10-15 years, depending on individual factors.

While the Extended Deep Plane Facelift offers a comprehensive approach to facial rejuvenation, several other techniques exist, each with its own advantages and limitations. Here’s a breakdown of how extended deep plane facelift compares to some popular alternatives:

Types of Extended FaceLift

Function: Injects fillers like hyaluronic acid to plump wrinkles and lines, offering temporary volume restoration and improvement in skin texture.

Comparison to Extended Deep Plane Facelift – While effective for short-term corrections and specific concerns, fillers don’t address underlying tissue laxity or sagging, which the deep plane facelift targets. Additionally, repeated filler use can lead to an unnatural appearance over time.

Function: Inserts absorbable threads under the skin to create a weak lifting effect or usually subtle effect, primarily used on the lower face and jawline.

Comparison to Deep Plane Facelift: compared to the more comprehensive and longer-lasting results of extended deep plane facelift.

Function: Focuses solely on removing excess skin, primarily targeting the lower face and jowls. Comparison to Deep Plane Facelift: While potentially less expensive, mini facelift doesn’t address underlying muscle and tissue slackening, leading to potentially unnatural and short-lived results. Extended Deep plane facelift offers a more comprehensive approach to address the root causes of facial aging.

Function: Lifts the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS), a layer of muscle and fascia, to tighten the lower face and neck. Comparison to Deep Plane Facelift: SMAS facelift can provide positive, longer-lasting results than mini facelift. However, unlike extended deep plane facelift, it may not adequately address concerns in the mid-face, leading to potential unevenness in the overall rejuvenation effect.

Key Advantage of Deep Plane Facelift

The defining feature of the extended deep plane facelift lies in its ability to release and reposition deeper facial tissues in addition to addressing the skin and SMAS layer. This multi-layered approach offers several advantages:

  • More natural-looking and longer-lasting results by addressing the underlying causes of facial sagging.
  • Improved correction in the mid-face, leading to a more harmonious and balanced rejuvenation of the entire face.
  • Reduced risk of unnatural puffiness associated with repeated filler use.

Hi There- After carefully reviewing plastic surgeons in Türkiye,I choose Dr. Varsak for his specialty in facial rejuvenation.I am older, I travel from the U.S. and had the facial/neck lift/upper and lower eye done. I must say that I was 110% satisfied, not only with the way I was treated by Dr. Varsak and his staff, but at the beautiful hospital and the great team that took care of me for the two days there and at the beautiful hotel on the same property.

My experience with Dr Varsak and his staff has exceeded my expectations. While the price seemed appealing, I was hesitant about traveling to have facial surgery, specifically, a deep plane facelift. Merih and other staff members made sure everything went well the minute I arrived. Dr Varsak’s staff assisted with details which included my airport pickup, hospital paperwork, after care issues, along with just checking in to make sure all was well.

I recently had a full face lift with Dr. Varsak and his team, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish! Dr. Varsak's expertise, kindness, and caring demeanor made me feel at ease throughout the entire process.

I'm 18 days post-op, and in the past two days, I've really started to see the results of my deep plane face and neck lift, and I couldn't be happier! I also had upper eyelid surgery and a slight brow lift for better balance. I reached out to Dr. Varsak's team back in February while researching surgeons and wasn't even sure who to choose at that point. From the beginning, the contact and constant communication with his assistant, Merhi, were amazing. She was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process, putting me at ease even on the day of surgery when I had a few concerns.

The results of an Extended Deep Plane Facelift can last 10 to 15 years, depending on factors like skin quality, aging process, and lifestyle. Since this technique lifts deeper facial structures, it provides longer-lasting and more natural results compared to traditional facelifts.

Most patients need about 2 to 3 weeks for the initial recovery, with swelling and bruising gradually improving. Full results become visible within 3 to 6 months as the tissues settle into their natural position.

Yes, the Extended Deep Plane Facelift provides a more comprehensive and natural-looking lift because it repositions deeper facial tissues rather than just tightening the skin. This technique reduces tension, prevents a pulled look, and ensures longer-lasting results.

Ideal candidates are individuals in their 40s to 60s with moderate to severe facial sagging who seek a long-lasting, natural rejuvenation. Good overall health and realistic expectations are essential for the best results.
