The deep plane facelift performed by Dr. Kenneth Rothaus focuses on repositioning the deeper facial tissues rather than pulling on the skin alone. This distinction is central to how modern facelift techniques aim to produce natural, lasting rejuvenation.

At the heart of the procedure is the SMAS — the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a layer of muscle and connective tissue that gives the face its structure. Over time, this layer descends, contributing to jowls, deep folds, and a tired appearance.

What is the recovery time for a deep plane facelift?

International patients can generally travel home after 10-14 days once swelling has stabilised and wound checks are complete.
