Dr. Kacowicz's Surgical Approach

Deep plane facelift surgery as performed in modern practice involves precise dissection beneath the SMAS layer. This anatomical plane allows surgeons to reposition facial tissues in their natural vectors, creating results that appear more youthful without the telltale signs of surgical intervention.

Deep plane facelift surgery as performed in modern practice involves precise dissection beneath the SMAS layer. This anatomical plane allows surgeons to reposition facial tissues in their natural vectors, creating results that appear more youthful without the telltale signs of surgical intervention.

The SMAS represents a continuous fibromuscular layer that extends from the scalp to the neck. When surgeons work beneath this layer, they can address the root causes of facial aging including volume loss and tissue descent.

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. Ricardo Kacowicz 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. Ricardo Kacowicz can discuss expected outcomes for your anatomy during consultation.
