As we age, our facial features change. This change takes many forms, such as sunken cheeks, wrinkles, sagging jowls, and other alterations. When patients become concerned about their appearance and want to look more youthful or radiant, they have several options. One may include a deep plane facelift in Toronto.
While there are various facelift options to select from, deep plane facelifts are best to combat aging. This procedure provides the most dramatic change by defining your features and producing tighter skin.
Patients who have undergone this treatment experience a sculpted neck, contoured jawline, firmer skin, smoother facial surface where wrinkles once were, and refined facial features.
What is a deep plane facelift?
More specifically, deep plane facelifts tighten and reposition the deeper and superficial layers of tissue (fat, muscles, connective tissue, and glands). They recontour the entire face, resulting in a long-lasting and natural transformation.
Why choose a deep plane facelift?
The main benefits of getting a facelift in Toronto are a more rejuvenated appearance, increased confidence, better fat redistribution, and better skin tone. Receiving cosmetic surgery enables individuals to appear years younger with results that last for years to come.
Some facelifts in Toronto may result in an unnatural appearance if the skin only is addressed. However, by redefining deeper tissue layers under the neck and face, Dr. Solomon performs deep plane facelifts which volumize and recontour the structures under your skin, resulting in a naturally more youthful appearance.
The Procedure’s Benefits
Deep plane facelift achieve their result by tightening the strength layer, called the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS), without disconnecting the layer from the skin.
During the procedure, connecting ligaments located below the strength layer become disconnected. This allows Dr. Solomon to lift your skin and SMAS together. The technique tightens the deeper layer while lifting the skin with it. All the work is conducted in the deeper strength layer to generate better, longer results.
Deep plane facelifts benefit patients because they use smaller incisions than traditional facelifts. The best facelift surgeons begin at the line at the back of your jawline and upwards into the corner of your eye, where soft tissue starts to fail. This releases ligaments anchoring muscle and connective tissue, forcing the face to resuspend.
Why is addressing the SMAS important?
Your superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) is a tissue layer separating your face’s fat and superficial skin from your nerves and deeper muscles. It plays an essential role in how the face ages. Over time, our SMAS decreases in its support of the skin, fat, and facial muscles, contributing to jowls, sagging cheeks, and decreased facial vigour.
Dr. Solomon will tighten, shorten, or lift and reposition the SMAS during this procedure. This addresses the subcutaneous tissues and flaccid muscles affected by aging. By restoring them, your face is rejuvenated and appears more youthful.
How does it create natural-looking results?
Since deep plane facelifts focus on the deeper layer, they provide a more natural-looking yet dramatic appearance. Facelifts focusing on only tightening skin can produce windswept or tight looks. By focusing more on skin incisions, less tension promotes better healing and decreases scarring.
The benefits of this technique are as follows:
- It has the potential for longer-lasting results.
- Deep plane facelifts allow facelift surgeons in Toronto to provide more natural looks by lifting but not tightly pulling facial tissues to achieve maximum results.
- Surgeons can reposition fat pads in your cheeks for a lifted midface.
Additional Advantages of a Deep Plane Facelift
In addition to providing a natural, youthful appearance, the procedure maintains the skin’s natural blood supply. Since the skin isn’t separated from the subcutaneous tissue, the blood vessels are not severed, so patients have an easier recovery.
The emotional benefits allow people to regain confidence in their appearance. The natural-looking results of deep plane facelifts can improve a person’s quality of life and self-esteem.
How can I tell if it is best for me?
Determining whether this procedure is best for your situation requires an in-depth assessment of many factors. We will assess your medical history and health status to decide whether or not you are a good candidate. Good physical health with realistic expectations is essential for an optimal recovery.
During your consultation with our facelift surgeon in Toronto, we examine your face and neck skin. Age may influence facelift results. However, people in their 70s and 80s can still receive great results if they are in good health.
