DEEP PLANE FACELIFT
– RECLAIM YOUR YOUTH WITH THIS ADVANCED TECHNIQUE –What is a Deep Plane Facelift?
– The Most Advanced Technique for Natural, Long-Lasting Results –With over 20 different facelift techniques available, it’s no surprise that results and costs can vary widely. From the mini facelift and SMAS facelift to the mid-facelift, ponytail lift, and even non-surgical options like thread lifts, each method aims to tighten facial skin and underlying structures to different degrees. However, one technique stands out as the most natural-looking and comprehensive option—the deep plane facelift.
Unlike conventional facelifts that only tighten the skin, a deep plane facelift lifts and repositions the deeper layers of facial tissue, including the SMAS (superficial muscular aponeurotic system) and ligaments. This technique achieves:
- More Natural Results – Avoids the overly tight or windswept appearance.
- Longer-Lasting Effects – Results last 10-15 years, significantly longer than standard facelifts.
- Comprehensive Rejuvenation – Lifts the mid-face, jawline, and neck for a more complete transformation.

Mini Facelift | Early signs of aging | Targets jawline & mid-face | 5-7 years |

Facelift Before & After
You are looking at result of facial rejuvenation surgery of Emily Simpson, Real Housewife of Orange. At her age, Dr. Agha did not see the need to perform a more extensive incision of a traditional facelift on Emily. He selected a mid-face lift for Emily since this procedure can be done through small, well-hidden incisions, and it brings youth to the mid-face where she needed it the most.
Emily’s after photos were taken 12 months after her surgery.
This lovely 40-year-old female presented to Dr. Agha for a facelift. In examination, she was found to have fullness of the neck, sagging of the jowls, and fullness of the cheeks. Dr. Agha employed an extended deep plane facelift for this patient which addresses the lower face and neck without deforming the patients face. . As you can appreciate, her before & after is a true example of preserving one’s natural beauty without completely changing one’s innate appearance. She still looks like herself, just more rested & youthful.
