Where is Dr. Franco located?
Dr. Franco practices at Hospital Angeles León in Tijuana, Mexico. The clinic welcomes both local and international patients travelling for deep plane facelift surgery. Request the full clinic address and directions during your initial inquiry. International patients can arrange a virtual consultation before traveling to review candidacy, treatment plan, and pricing.
What is the recovery time for a deep plane facelift?
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. Franco provides a personalised recovery timeline during consultation.
How long do deep plane facelift results last?
How long results last has not been measured for all patients, and whether a deep plane facelift outlasts a SMAS or mini facelift is still debated (Khoury 2025). In one surgeon's 30-year series, patients who came back for a second facelift after a deep plane lift did so 10.9 years later on average (Levin & Frankel 2026); that counts only the patients who returned. Longevity also depends on individual ageing biology, sun exposure, smoking status, and skincare. Dr. Franco can discuss expected outcomes for your anatomy during consultation.
