Basu Aesthetics + Plastic Surgery

What to Expect?

During Surgery Your procedure will take place at our state-licensed, hospital-grade surgical facility, the Beleza Surgery Center. You’ll be under general anesthesia with a board-certified anesthesiologist present at all times. The deep plane technique allows us to gently lift the deeper tissues and reposition them into a more youthful location, all while keeping the skin attached naturally.

How does a deep plane facelift differ from a traditional facelift?

At Basu Aesthetics + Plastic Surgery, our deep plane facelift lifts the deeper facial layers, including the SMAS and connective ligaments, as a unified unit. This approach allows for better mid-face volume, a sharper jawline, and longer-lasting results than facelifts that only pull or tighten skin.

Am I a good candidate for a deep plane face and neck lift?

Good candidates for deep plane face and neck lift are men or women experiencing sagging cheeks, jowls, or a softening jawline and neck who desire a natural, refreshed look. Age is less important than anatomy and individual goals.

Where are the incisions placed for the deep plane facelift and how visible are the scars?

Incisions are placed discreetly around the ears and sometimes into the hairline behind the ear. Because our technique lifts underlying structures rather than pulling skin tightly, there is less tension on the skin and scars tend to heal quickly and become nearly undetectable.

What is the typical recovery timeline after a deep plane facelift at Basu Aesthetics + Plastic Surgery?

Most patients feel comfortable returning to desk work in 7 to 14 days. Light exercise is usually safe around three weeks after surgery. Swelling and bruising are typically minimal and diminish rapidly with our after-care plan.
