The deep plane facelift has become one of the most sought-after techniques in facial rejuvenation – and one of the most technically demanding to perform well. For patients researching a deep plane facelift in Newport Beach and across Orange County, here’s why Dr. Ali Sajjadian is a trusted choice for a deep plane facelift specifically, not just facelift surgery in general.
A deep plane facelift is an advanced facelift technique that repositions deeper facial tissues beneath the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) rather than relying primarily on skin tightening. It is designed to restore support through areas such as the midface and jawline while preserving a natural-looking facial appearance.
What Sets the Deep Plane Facelift Apart?
Unlike approaches that rely more heavily on skin redraping, a deep plane facelift releases and repositions deeper structural tissues of the face. By addressing the supporting layers beneath the skin, the technique can improve midface descent, jowling, and jawline laxity while avoiding an overly tight appearance. The exact surgical plan depends on the patient’s anatomy and degree of facial aging.
Why Does Surgeon Experience Matter With a Deep Plane Facelift?
Because deep plane facelift surgery is performed in deeper facial tissue planes near important nerves and blood vessels, it requires detailed knowledge of facial anatomy and careful surgical judgment. Patients considering the procedure should look closely at a surgeon’s facial training, credentials, and specific experience with deep plane techniques rather than assuming every facelift surgeon uses the same approach.
Triple Board-Certified Expertise in Facial Anatomy
Dr. Sajjadian is triple board-certified – by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, the American Board of Otolaryngology, and the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. That combination reflects extensive training in plastic surgery, head-and-neck anatomy, and facial plastic surgery. Those areas of training are particularly relevant to deep plane facelift surgery, where the procedure is performed beneath the skin and requires precise understanding of facial structures.
Natural-Looking, Long-Lasting Facial Rejuvenation
Because a deep plane facelift addresses deeper facial support rather than simply tightening the skin, the goal is a refreshed result that looks integrated with the patient’s natural features. Results can remain visible for many years, but longevity varies from patient to patient based on anatomy, skin quality, genetics, lifestyle, sun exposure, and the ongoing aging process.
Is a Deep Plane Facelift Right for You?
The deep plane technique is not necessary for every patient. It may be considered for patients with moderate to advanced facial aging, including midface descent, jowling, or more significant laxity. Patients with earlier or more limited signs of aging may be better candidates for another facelift technique or a more limited procedure. Dr. Sajjadian evaluates each patient’s anatomy individually before recommending an approach.
