The Deep Plane Facelift is the most extensive surgical rejuvenation to the face, greatly surpassing the capabilities of a simple “skin tightening” approach. A standard SMAS lift essentially involves a pull and suture of the muscle layer, also called the Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System. In the case of the Deep Plane technique, the surgeon not only releases ligaments inside the deeper anatomical layer but also the “mask” of the face, including the midface, jowls, and neck, can be repositioned as a whole, tension-free unit under the skin.

We consider the Deep Plane Facelift at Lin Health Europe Clinic as the perfect natural-like, long-lasting result that any patient would want. We tell our international patients who come all the way to Turkey, the top choice facial plastic surgery destination, that this facelift technique reverses the very reason of aging, the dropping of the deep layers of fat and muscles. Our center is the best for facial plastic surgical procedure not only because of the results being more dramatic but also the longevity of the outcomes significantly surpassing that of traditional methods, mainly due to the use of the human face as a structural component in our surgical approach.

The Clinical Power of Ligament Release

What truly sets a Deep Plane Facelift apart from others is the release of the retaining ligaments (such as the zygomatic and mandibular ligaments) which are not touched in a traditional SMAS lift procedure. Consequently, a standard SMAS lift doesn’t have the capacity to lift the midface enough due to these ligaments, which remain as the skin anchor points, and hence, the “windswept” or “pulled” appearance. In fact, it is by clinically releasing these anchoring points that the surgeon is able to move the deep muscles upwards into the ‘youthful’ position without putting any tension on the skin.

At Lin Health Europe Clinic, the surgical team working in Turkey is highly proficient in this intricate dissection of the anatomy. Our attention is towards the “multi-vector” lifting which not only renews the cheekbones but also smoothens the folds of the nose to the corner of the mouth. By entrusting your beauty transformation to our prestigious surgical center, you will be transformed structurally and anatomically and not just by superficial skin tightening, thereby reflecting our position as the world leader in high-end facial rejuvenation.

Superior Durability and the “Tension-Free” Closure

Intuitively, nature; when skin or muscle is forcibly pulled, it is nevertheless stretched to a certain limit beyond which it tends to regain its original shape over time with the help of the skin’s viscoelastic properties. On the other hand, since the Deep Plane method repositions the deep tissues without causing the skin to be stretched, the results are highly stable and last almost more than double the time of 10-15 years typically, as opposed to 5-7 years for less invasive lifts.

Lin Health Europe Clinic team in Turkey is always ready to secure the patient’s tissue stability for long-term satisfaction. The surgical team at our clinic pulls the deep tissues to stable anatomical anchors; thus, during the phase of neocollagenesis, the skin can heal in a very smooth way. Our clinic attracts patients worldwide because of our commitment to surgical artistry, which produces timeless results that age gracefully and is one of the differentiators in the world of facial plastic surgery.

Midface Rejuvenation and Volumetric Restoration

A typical SMAS lift recovers the jawline and the lower face. The Deep Plane surgery technique, a step further, enables the facelift operation of the malar (cheek) fat pads directly. This results in a facial volume restoration that is totally natural, which means the depression below the eye is filled and the cheek lifted without the use of fillers or really heavy fat grafting. Thus, the face is shaped as a heart, which is the clinical signature of the young face.

The highly talented team at Lin Health Europe Clinic prides itself on its “Artistic Precision” methodology. In Turkey, we take your facial look to a three-dimensional level for an accurate and harmonious facial lift. We strongly believe that the result of a facelift would be of a superior level if it is addressed in three dimensions. The reason why we are the very best option for patients from other countries who are looking for a one-stop, wholesome, and very natural “reset” is solely our devotion to high-definition facial sculpting.

Reduced Edema and Faster Tissue Integration

Despite being more complicated, the Deep Plane Facelift offers less surface bruising and edema (swelling) than traditional approaches. The dissection is made in a deeper, relatively bloodless plane, leaving the blood vessels that supply the skin untouched. Efficient healing is achieved through the skin’s uninterrupted blood supply, while the chances of skin necrosis or poor scarring are drastically minimized.

We at Lin Health Europe Clinic provide full staff and resources for postoperative care of foreign patients to optimize the rapid tissue integration in our clinic located in Turkey.

Frequently Asked Questions About Deep Plane Facelift:

Why​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ is a Deep Plane Facelift better than a standard SMAS lift?

The Deep Plane method is a step up because it frees the deep facial ligaments, which means the surgeon can lift and reposition the midface and jawline without stretching the skin. The outcome is a natural-looking face and the effects typically last twice as long as the traditional methods.

How long does a Deep Plane Facelift last?

A Deep Plane Facelift is very durable and can last 10 to 15 years which is almost twice the length of time that many standard facelift techniques last. At Lin Health Europe Clinic, we focus on structural integrity in Turkey to ensure your results age naturally over the next decade.

Is the recovery for a Deep Plane Facelift harder

Interestingly, many patients experience less surface bruising and swelling because the surgical plane is deeper and preserves the skin’s primary blood supply. Although it is a more complicated surgery, the social downtime at our clinic in Turkey is usually the same or even less than a standard lift.

Does a Deep Plane Facelift change your look?

The Deep Plane facelift is not about changing your face into something completely different or “disconnected”, but instead, making you look like a younger version of yourself. This is achieved with the help of our surgeons in Turkey who by repositioning the deep fat pads to their original place restore your natural facial structure and youthful proportions.

At what age should I get a Deep Plane Facelift?

Generally, patients coming to have the procedure are in their late 40s to early 60s when the sagging of the midface and jowls has become quite pronounced. Nevertheless, to determine whether you are a candidate, your facial features and the extent of tissue sagging will be taken into consideration. We at Lin Health Europe Clinic Turkey do a complete ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌assessment.
