What Is a Deep Plane Facelift?
Traditional facelifts address the Superficial Musculo Aponeurotic System layer or the SMAS. The SMAS layer is a significant structural component of the face impacted by age-related changes. In a traditional facelift, the SMAS is maneuvered and tightened horizontally toward the ears, often creating a stretched or unnatural-looking appearance.
A deep plane facelift, one of the most advanced modern facelift techniques, specifically focuses on releasing and repositioning facial ligaments and the SMAS layer by vertically elevating them. This superior facelift technique allows Dr. Bellamy to lift the tissues without creating excess tension that causes a pulled or stretched look.
Deep plane facelifts aim to restore the appearance of those areas most vulnerable to aging with incredibly effective and natural-looking results. Without changing your fundamental appearance, deep plane facelifts address concerns like:
- Tightening sagging skin in the lower two-thirds of the face, including neck, jawline, and mid-face
- Creased skin or muscle bands on the neck
- Nasolabial folds
- Marionette lines
- Volume loss, including sunken cheeks
- Jowls
- Double chin
- Smooths wrinkles and deep lines
- Enhanced facial balance
- Excess skin removal
- Restored natural volume
Often, a deep plane facelift can be performed under local anesthesia. Other benefits of a deep plane facelift include:
- More natural-looking results than a traditional facelift
- Visibly younger-looking skin and overall appearance
- Sleeker facial contour
- Improved balance of facial features
- Quicker recovery
- Less noticeable scarring
- Longer-lasting results
- Enhanced confidence and self-esteem

Preparing for Your Deep Plane Facelift
In the week before your surgery, we advise you to maintain a healthy, high-protein, low-salt diet. Stop taking most herbal supplements, especially those containing garlic, fish oil, or zinc. Also, stop taking medicines containing aspirin, as these can cause additional bleeding or bruising.
During your consultation, Dr. Bellamy will review your medications and provide instructions on how to proceed. Most prescription medications, especially blood pressure medications, should be continued.
For at least four weeks before and after your procedure, smoking, vaping, or any nicotine products are strictly prohibited. Nicotine constricts blood vessels and affects the body’s ability to heal itself, potentially impacting your recovery and results.
West Palm Beach Deep Plane Facelift Procedure and Recovery
Dr. Bellamy will create small, well-concealed incisions behind the ear, under the chin, or within the posterior hairline. Dr. Bellamy will reposition and tighten your facial tissues, then he will remove loose, excess skin.
On average, a deep plane facelift can take approximately three to four hours. However, procedure times will vary based on individual anatomy, the extent of the procedure, and specific procedures performed.
Deep Plane Facelift Recovery
Deep plane facelifts are typically day surgeries, so it’s important to arrange for someone to drive you home and stay with you for the first few days. You may require assistance with simple daily tasks. You may also be prescribed pain medications and antibiotics.
Swelling, bruising, and numbness are common effects following a deep plane facelift. These effects are temporary and will resolve as healing progresses. To reduce swelling and bruising, sleep with your head elevated and use cold compresses as directed. It’s important to thoroughly follow Dr. Bellamy’s post-operative instructions to ensure a healthy recovery.
Most patients plan on taking approximately 10 to 14 days off work for recovery. During this time, you may also experience social downtime, but you can typically wear makeup after 10 days. Full results may take several months up to a year as swelling resolves and the tissues settle.
Following your deep-plane facelift, avoid strenuous activities, including exercising or heavy lifting, for four to six weeks; however, Dr. Bellamy advises walking slowly as soon as you feel well enough. Consistent sun protection and skin care products are recommended to extend the longevity of your results.
How Soon Will I See My Deep Plane Facelift Results?
Following a deep plane facelift, the length of the recovery process is determined by the extent of your procedure. However, many patients feel comfortable in public about two weeks after surgery, with most swelling resolved in about a month. Most patients experience slight bruising, tightness, or swelling that may obscure true results for the first few weeks. Swelling typically fully resolves within a couple months.
With optimal results, the best Palm Beach deep plane facelift results will help you achieve a youthful, lifted facial appearance with results that may last for 10 to 15 years.
While nothing stops the aging process, you can extend the longevity of your results. One way is to follow Dr. Bellamy’s post-procedural recommendations, including staying hydrated and eating a balanced diet, protecting your skin with sunscreen with SPF 30+ every day, and using recommended skincare products and treatments.
