Dr. Felipe Maldonado's approach to deep plane facelift surgery involves sophisticated manipulation of the facial architecture at its foundational level. The technique centers on releasing and repositioning the SMAS layer, which lies beneath the skin and encompasses the facial muscles and their fibrous coverings.

The deep plane dissection differs fundamentally from traditional facelift approaches by working beneath the SMAS rather than simply tightening it superficially. This sub-SMAS dissection allows for more comprehensive repositioning of facial tissues as a unified layer.

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. Felipe Maldonado 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. Felipe Maldonado can discuss expected outcomes for your anatomy during consultation.
