Deep Plane Facelift In Jacksonville & Ponte Vedra Beach, FL

Deep Rejuvenation

If you are considering a facelift but are worried about looking “overdone” or unnatural, consider the facelift of the 21st century.

The Deep Plane Facelift procedure is unique in that it adjusts and improves the structures below the skin and tissue, including deep muscles and ligaments that can cause laxity and a sunken or hollow appearance. Since the skin is not getting pulled independently, a too-tight look is avoided, and only outstanding, age-defying facial renewal is the result.

What is a Deep Plane Facelift?

In the face, there is an anatomic plane that sits between the SMAS-platysma muscle, fascia and the deeper muscles which provide movement and expression.

This “deep plane” is integral in the aging process, so addressing this level during a Deep Plane Facelift provides more substantial, comprehensive results. Other methods may only focus on pulling skin and tissue that can give patients a tight, harsh appearance. Working with the deep muscles and fascia in the face means this surgery can address multiple aging concerns with a natural-looking outcome.

Deep Plane Facelift vs. traditional facelift?

Both of these procedures can provide a more youthful appearance; however, tension is the key when discussing the differences between a traditional and a Deep Plane Facelift. During a traditional facelift, the skin and the tissues are repositioned separately, which is what can produce a too-tight end result if tension is not balanced between the layers. A Deep Plane Facelift works with the underlying structures and repositions the skin and tissues together, so the tension is evenly distributed.

Deep Plane Facelift Consultation and Preparation


At a consultation for a Deep Plane facelift Jacksonville facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Garcia will take the time to get to know you and your ultimate aesthetic goals. We will also design a customized treatment plan to ensure that your procedure and recovery go as smoothly as possible. We may request lab tests or other medical evaluations to make sure there are no safety concerns prior to surgery. You will also be asked to quit smoking for several months prior to the procedure to ensure optimal healing.

Deep Plane Facelift Procedure

Deep Plane Facelifts are generally performed under general anesthesia in an outpatient setting. Dr. Garcia will make incisions and adjustments based on your predetermined surgical plan. After the adjustments to the facial structures are made, they will be repositioned, and sutures will be used. Usually, this surgery lasts around 1.5 to 2 hours.

Deep Plane Facelift Results, Recovery, and Aftercare

Since this procedure is performed under general anesthesia, you will feel drowsy afterward and will need someone to drive you home and assist you for about the first 24 hours. The more you rest, the more effectively you will heal, and the better your results will be. Detailed care and recovery instructions will be provided during your pre-op appointment. Outstanding results are usually apparent within 4-6 months.
