Combining Deep Plane Facelift with Other Procedures for Enhanced Results in Franklin, TN
Posted April 18, 2025 in Facelift
If you’re considering a deep plane facelift, you may be focusing all your efforts on learning what to expect from this procedure. But, one thing you may not have on your radar is combining other procedures with your deep plane facelift surgery. Having multiple plastic surgery procedures at once is more common than you may think, and it comes with many benefits that aren’t immediately apparent. During a consultation, Dr. David Gilpin can help you learn more about the deep plane technique and how it can transform your facial features – and how you can optimize your results with a few additional procedures.
What is a Deep Plane Facelift?
The deep plane facelift is one of the most extensive and rejuvenating types of facelifts. Whereas traditional facelift techniques only tighten the facial skin over top of the underlying tissues, the deep plane facelift technique lifts and resuspends the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS), or the layer of facial muscle and connective tissue underneath the skin. Over time, these tissues are just as susceptible to sagging as skin. When a deep plane facelift procedure restores them to their youthful position, it creates a more comprehensive effect that lasts longer. Rather than simply tightening the skin, the deep plane facelift actually recreates the way your face looked when you were younger. The result is an unparalleled youthful appearance that only the most skilled facial plastic surgery experts can achieve.
What are the Benefits of Combining Procedures?
Most people want as little surgery as possible, and that’s understandable. However, it can be helpful to shift your thinking around getting a surgical procedure. If you’re going in for surgery anyway, an additional procedure or two won’t change your process by much. Your preparation will look similar, and it can be more convenient than going through separate procedures at different times. For example, if you’re undergoing facelift surgery, adding other procedures to your deep plane lift can be a time- and cost-saving measure. By combining procedures, you can cut down on anesthesia costs, surgical fees, facilities, and recovery materials, which would otherwise all be billed each time you undergo surgery. Additionally, your deep plane facelift recovery time will only be slightly extended, depending on the procedures you opt for. As such, opting for more surgery and packaging everything together can be a convenient way to address multiple concerns and get the result you truly want.
What Procedures Can Be Combined with a Deep Plane Facelift?
The deep plane facelift can be combined with a variety of procedures, depending on your unique goals and preferences. However, some procedures are more common than others. For example, the brow lift and neck lift are common options. The brow lift and neck lift address the upper and lower face respectively, whereas the deep plane facelift only concerns the middle part of the face. If you have sagging or deep lines in your brow or neck, these two options are valuable additions and can make your results more comprehensive. Many patients also opt for eyelid surgery to lift and rejuvenate the upper and lower eyelids, creating a more rested and vibrant appearance. Finally, facial fat transfer can restore volume to areas like the cheeks and undereyes as a more permanent alternative to dermal fillers. Dr. Gilpin can help you select the right procedures to add to your deep plane facelift for maximum effect. Additionally, Dr. Gilpin’s patients request laser resurfacing to help their outermost layer of the skin, giving facelift results a more polished look.
