Is Deep Plane Facelift Really Better?

[@curiousone2940]

Dr. Joe, One of the things I like best about your videos is hearing the obvious pleasure you get from your work. It's fun to hear you tell about especially good outcomes and some of the nice patients you have encountered. I can thoroughly relate to both feelings. Although I recently retired, I was fortunate to love my work in a challenging field, and enjoyed the pleasure of helping clients with tricky problems. Aren't we lucky?

[@jniamtuiii]

Thank you so much

[@DiogenesPaiva]

I´m facial plastic surgery from Brazil and apreciate a lot the deep plane technique. But in the major part of my cases i realease the ligaments under the skin and above the SMAS to ensure more security and perform a short flap with smas and platisma. The results is so good like these with more security in my hands. But congratulations for your job.

[@jniamtuiii]

Thanks, I spoke in Rio 3 weeks ago, I left the day Madonna came! I agree with you that we all find a technique that works well in our hands. I have always that if you achieve patient safety and predictable outcomes, you are doing the right thing. Joe

I really appreciate the before and after photos being taken from the same angle with the same lighting and no makeup. I see too many photos with the patient lit with harsh light from above, no makeup and looking down before, and softly lit from the front with their head up and full makeup after. It makes me wonder what the surgeon's hiding.

You are correct, it is awesome to have a case where someone looks decades younger, but it really depends on the person. Your face has to match your body.

Why do you not go behind the tragus for incision as I see in nearly all of the KZbin videos I’ve watched? And your scars look beautiful basically undetectable

[@jniamtuiii]

That is because they don't show you the bad ones when the tragal cartilage collapses. Go ahead and Google "blunted tragus after facelift" and look at images. It looks horrible, you can see right in someones ear and there is no real fix for it. That is impossible with my type of incision. I did my first 800 facelifts with post tragal incisions and all I can tell you is that I get my most aesthetic results with my current incision. Thanks for watching. Dr. Joe :)

[@mj-cq8sf]

I have noticed in so many after pics that the tragus is hidden behind the hair so that you are unable to see the outcome, whether good or bad. I have also noticed a deformed looking tragus on after pics. I think this plus scar visibility are things that would make me anxious. I have learned so much from watching your videos and thankyou!!!

Thank God someone tells the truth about deep plane facelifts. This is a procedure not widely accepted in plastic surgery circles for the last 20 to 30 years. For some reason, certain less than truthful surgeons are now promoting it as the best technique ever. Problems with the deep plane technique include: 1. It has a fair amount of subcutaneous undermining so the claim that it is tension free on the skin is not true. 2. It doesn’t address retinacular ligament extension in the subcutaneous plane except for the amount of subcutaneous undermining, which is limited. 3. By itself, it doesn’t do anything to rejuvenate skin quality. The last two are clear failures to obtain optimal and durable results missing 50% of the potential result.

[@jniamtuiii]

Although I do a deep plane technique when indicated, I agree that it is not the holy grail. Show me a successful facelift surgeon that has done over 1,000 lifts with patient safety and great outcomes and I think they have it right, regardless what their technique. Deep plane is great in trained hands, but other SMAS procedures are also equally successful. Look for the experience and the result, not just the technique.

Everything I've read suggests deep plane f/lift lasts longer than other procedures. This would be a reason I would go down this route as the investment is significant for me. Is this correct?

Deep plane is currently being marketed. It is true. Let's suppose that for whatever reason, a patient desires deep plane. And let's assume the surgeon is very experienced with smas, good reputation and getting very good results with smas. The surgeon has no experience with deep plane, but agrees to do the procedure because the patient requests it and the surgeon thinks he will get a good result. Is that acceptable? Or is it better to seek a surgeon with specific deep plane experience. What is your opinion on this? I had asked this on another surgeon's channel and he indicates that any surgeon who does smas well is also qualified to do deep plane. 🤔 zelkininstitute: "Every plastic surgeon that offers facelifts knows how to do both traditional smas and deep plane facelifts." Q: Not clear on this. Aren't there many surgeons that have performed many smas facelifts but with little to no experience with deep plane?... Obviously you would ideally want a surgeon experienced in both... It sounds like you are saying that even a surgeon that has only performed smas has the theoretical knowledge to perform deep plane. Is that what you mean? zelkeninstitute: "Yes."

[@jniamtuiii]

Lots of ways to answer this. A doc with significant SMAS experience should not have a problem with deep plane technique. But it varies from doc to doc. Deep plane is a good technique and I usually do it, but experienced docs with great SMAS control, get great results also.

First, must define the word better. However, it is a fact, the most fundamental reason for sagging in the face is.....A weak structure, bone structure...Two, sagging muscles, ligaments tendons. If you do not cut out the excess tissue beneath the skin, the so-called face lift will last as long as the skin does not stretch. Could be one or two years cause the underlying tissue will pull the overlying skin downward, creating a droopy looking face again. Of course a more extensive deep tissue face lift is superior to a skin lift.

It totally depends on the surgeon. A poorly done deep plane face lift is not better than a well done smasectomy or smas plicaion.
