Facial aging shouldn’t mean accepting a pulled or artificial look. The deep plane facelift is a significant step forward for modern facial rejuvenation. If you’re exploring long-term, natural-looking change near Charleston or Mt. Pleasant, this procedure at Dr. Sonny O Plastic Surgery & Medspa addresses the root cause of aging.

Beyond the Surface: What Makes the Deep Plane Different?

Older facelift techniques often target the skin and the superficial muscular aponeurotic system (SMAS) in separate steps. This surface-level method often results in a stretched appearance, as it fails to properly reposition the structures that cause jowling and sagging in the first place.

A deep plane facelift is one of the most effective ways to address facial aging. Instead of just pulling the skin, the deep plane technique works by carefully releasing and repositioning the deeper structures, including the SMAS and supporting ligaments, as a single unit. This single motion does two things:

  • Natural volume restoration – By lifting the underlying tissue from beneath the surface, the procedure gently restores volume to the cheeks and smooths out the jawline without creating tension on the skin.
  • Longer-lasting results – The changes are more durable because the lift is secured on deeper, more stable facial layers. It makes the deep plane facelift an unparalleled form of facial rejuvenation surgery.
