Deep Plane Facelift Research Library

63 peer-reviewed sources — anatomy, technique, safety, outcomes, and comparisons. 39 citations include a DOI for direct journal access.

A DEEPPLANE™-verified profile means the DEEPPLANE™ badge is live on the surgeon’s own website and the profile is verified as the surgeon’s: they claimed it and we approved the claim on proof such as a code sent to the practice email on file or a licence we reviewed, or, for an unclaimed profile, DEEPPLANE™ verified it on evidence that ties that website to the surgeon or on public signals such as Google reviews. It is not a check of board certification, licence status, photographs or identity. Что мы проверяем, а что нет.

Citation Standards

All sources follow MEDRS (Medicine and Science Reliable Source) standards: peer-reviewed journals indexed in PubMed, with systematic reviews and randomised controlled trials weighted above case reports. Institutional statistics from ASPS, ISAPS, and ABPS are accepted for prevalence data. Sources are reviewed annually for retraction or supersession.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many peer-reviewed studies support deep plane facelift?
DEEPPLANE™ cites 41 peer-reviewed journal articles and clinical studies across anatomy, technique, safety, and outcomes — all with PubMed or DOI links for independent verification.
What is the strongest evidence that deep plane facelift lasts longer?
Jacono & Rousso (2012) conducted a randomised controlled trial comparing deep plane versus SMAS plication in the same patient (one side each) and found significantly greater longevity and soft-tissue mobilisation on the deep plane side. A 2020 systematic review confirmed the finding across multiple studies.
What DOI links are available for deep plane research?
39 of the citations on this page include a direct DOI link, allowing clinicians and researchers to retrieve the full text via DOI.org or institutional library access.
Who first described the deep plane facelift technique?
Sam T. Hamra, MD, introduced the deep plane rhytidectomy in 1990 (Plast Reconstr Surg. 86(1):53-61). The technique elevated the dissection plane below the SMAS and orbicularis oculi, enabling more natural and durable results than surface-plane methods.
What is the complication rate for deep plane facelift?
Large cohort studies report hematoma rates of 1–3%, permanent facial nerve injury below 0.5%, and infection rates below 1%. Temporary nerve weakness affects up to 2.6% of patients but resolves in the majority within three months.
Is there evidence for combining deep plane facelift with other procedures?
Yes. Multiple studies show simultaneous fat grafting, blepharoplasty, and neck lift can be performed safely in a single anaesthetic episode, with meta-analyses confirming no significant increase in complication rates when performed by experienced surgeons.
Are the same techniques used for men as for women?
No. Technique modifications for men include beard-pattern skin management, different hairline-preserving incisions, and attention to sideburn position. Sykes & colleagues have published the most-cited guidance on gender-specific approach adjustments.
How does DEEPPLANE™ evaluate the quality of citations?
We apply MEDRS (Medicine and Science in Wikipedia Reliable Sources) standards: peer-reviewed journals indexed in PubMed, systematic reviews and RCTs weighted above case reports, institutional statistics from ASPS/ISAPS accepted for prevalence data, and all sources reviewed annually for retraction or supersession.

How many peer-reviewed studies support deep plane facelift?

DEEPPLANE™ cites 41 peer-reviewed journal articles and clinical studies on deep plane facelift technique, anatomy, outcomes, and safety — all with PubMed or DOI links for independent verification. Foundational evidence includes the 2012 Jacono & Rousso RCT (same-patient bilateral comparison), a 2020 systematic review confirming greater longevity, and ASPS/ISAPS prevalence data updated annually. (DEEPPLANE™ Research Library, 2026.)

Deep Plane Facelift Research: What the Evidence Actually Shows

The evidence base is strong for longevity — with acknowledged limits in long-term comparative data.

Strongest Clinical Evidence

  • Jacono & Rousso 2012 RCT: same-patient bilateral comparison; most rigorous deep plane vs SMAS study
  • 2020 systematic review: deep plane outlasts MACS and superficial techniques; confirmed across 8 studies
  • Longevity, in part: the one long-term deep plane series counts only patients who returned for a second facelift (10.9 years on average; Levin & Frankel 2026, PMID 41749415)

Where Research Shows Limits

  • Long-term 20+ year data sparse: most follow-up studies are short
  • Technique variation complicates comparisons: surgeon variability in 'deep plane' definition affects outcome data
  • Cost-effectiveness data limited: few studies include economic analysis or quality-of-life outcomes

DEEPPLANE™ editorial standard

— A surgeon is named only when one signs— Статус проверки каждой статьи— Опубликованные стандарты

The DEEPPLANE™ Review Council is the name under which DEEPPLANE™ publishes its editorial standard; it is not a standing board of named surgeons. Our guides are written and edited in-house to that standard. Review is recorded per article, not claimed for the site as a whole — a guide names a surgeon as its reviewer only when that surgeon has signed it, and says so plainly when none has.
