DEEP PLANE FACELIFT SURGERY IN VIRGINIA BEACH, VA, AT NORTH BEACH PLASTIC SURGERY
The facelift tends to have a reputation for looking like someone had “work done,” at least in popular culture and tabloids. But the reality is that with a skilled plastic surgeon like Dr. Richard Rosenblum and an innovative technique like the Deep Plane Facelift in Virginia Beach, you can see naturally restored results with no pulled or windblown look. You can trust that the team at North Beach Plastic Surgery will ensure outstanding aesthetic results and an overall premier experience.
The deep plane technique focuses on adjusting and repositioning the skin at a deep level, targeting the underlying tissue affecting facial movements and expressions. This highly specialized technique, also known as arhytidectomy, addresses the upper layers of skin at the same time as the lower tissues, without separating and pulling the skin. By carefully targeting lower-level muscles and tissue, it addresses loose, sagging skin and hollowness in key areas without causing an overly tight, pulled look. The result is a beautifully natural, toned, firm appearance that can make the face look a decade younger.
A recent rise in the popularity of Deep Plane Facelifts has put it in the spotlight but the truth is surgeons use a combination of both if they're trained to do so. Some surgeons claim to perform a deep plane but really perform a SMAS Facelift. At Northbeach Plastic Surgery our surgeons can do both. So what is a SMAS Facelift? Superficial Musculo Aponeurotic System, or SMAS for short is a traditional facelift technique that addresses the facial skin as well as the SMAS muscles separately. A Deep Plane Facelift further release the tethering ligaments of the face and treats the skin a muscle together, to give a longer lasting result.
As we age, excess skin, deep wrinkles and hollow areas in the face can make us look and feel older on the outside than the vibrant individual we are on the inside. By achieving natural-looking and long-lasting results, a Deep Plane Facelift can significantly boost self-confidence and overall well-being. A deep plane facelift repositions the underlying tissue to a more preferred and younger position resulting in a more youthful appearance. In Chesapeake and Virginia Beach Deep Plane Facelift patients at North Beach Plastic Surgery enjoy:
The deep plane method is typically recommended for patients who are experiencing significant signs of aging in the lower face and neck area, such as sagging skin, deep wrinkles and creases, jowls, and loss of facial volume. Ideal candidates are in good overall health, at or near their preferred weight, and have no significant medical conditions that could interfere with the healing process. Candidates are typically in their 40s to 60s, however, older individuals may still be eligible depending on their overall health, level of skin elasticity, and aesthetic goals. To determine if you are an ideal candidate for a Deep Plane Facelift Virginia Beach patients should schedule a consultation.
Our goal is to ensure your optimal comfort and keep you informed, which we will work towards throughout the pre-op and post-surgical process. This procedure is typically performed under light anesthesia and takes about two to three hours on average. To minimize scarring, Dr. Richard Rosenblum will make precise and strategic incisions along the hairline, near the ears, and potentially underneath the chin. He will then carefully manipulate the tissue, repositioning the facial muscles and deeper structures if needed and applying tension in the optimal areas to achieve a natural appearance.
Recovery typically lasts about two weeks, and patients can expect to see some bruising or swelling after surgery. This typically resolves within several days, although residual, low-level swelling can last several months. The final results are often seen around six months, depending on the patient, and generally last 10 to 15 years.

As modern facelift patients continue to find out about the great benefits and natural appearance they can get from the deep plane technique, its popularity continues to grow. While technically challenging, a deep plane facelift should only be performed by a surgeon with significant experience. The deep plane technique will generally give an improved, natural result with less swelling that will last longer than a traditional facelift or SMAS type of face lift.
Patients can expect some tenderness, discomfort, or even itchiness and tightness around the face, but it is rare that patients find it particularly painful.
Risks are rare but possible, as with any surgery, and could include anesthesia complications, bleeding, unexpected scarring, or infection. Changes in sensation or nerve injury which are almost always temporary.
In most cases, results last around 10 to 15 years, longer than a traditional facelift.
The cost of a Deep Plane Facelift will depend on several factors, including the patient’s customized treatment plan, surgeon’s fees, facility costs, and other considerations.
