Dr. Charão's Surgical Approach

The deep plane facelift technique employed at PlasticRio Clinic involves sophisticated manipulation of facial tissue layers beneath the skin's surface. This approach differs fundamentally from traditional facelift methods by addressing the SMAS layer—the fibrous tissue that connects facial muscles to overlying skin.

The deep plane facelift technique employed at PlasticRio Clinic involves sophisticated manipulation of facial tissue layers beneath the skin's surface. This approach differs fundamentally from traditional facelift methods by addressing the SMAS layer—the fibrous tissue that connects facial muscles to overlying skin.

During the procedure, surgical access begins with carefully planned incisions that follow natural facial contours. These incisions typically extend from the temporal area, curve around the ear, and continue into the hairline, allowing comprehensive access while minimizing visible scarring.

Recovery from a deep plane facelift typically involves 2-3 weeks of initial healing, with most visible bruising resolving within 7-10 days and sutures removed at days 7-10. International patients can generally travel home after 10-14 days once swelling has stabilised and wound checks are complete. Most patients return to desk work at 2-3 weeks and to exercise at 4-6 weeks. Final results become visible after 3-6 months as deep tissue swelling fully resolves. Dr. Alexandre Charão provides a personalised recovery timeline during consultation.

Deep plane facelift results typically last 10-15 years, significantly longer than traditional SMAS or mini-facelift procedures, which tend to last 5-8 years. The deep plane technique repositions deeper facial tissues — including the SMAS-platysma composite and the released retaining ligaments — rather than simply tightening skin, which produces more natural, longer-lasting rejuvenation. Longevity also depends on individual ageing biology, sun exposure, smoking status, and skincare. Dr. Alexandre Charão can discuss expected outcomes for your anatomy during consultation.
