Deon Weyers, MD

DeepPlane.com does not currently hold a confirmed board certification record for Dr. Weyers. That is a statement about the records held here, not a judgement about the surgeon, and you can check specialist registration directly with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA), the national body that registers doctors.

In South Africa, a specialist plastic surgeon is generally expected to be registered with the HPCSA in the specialist category for plastic and reconstructive surgery. Many specialists also hold the fellowship of the Colleges of Medicine of South Africa and belong to APRSSA (the Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons of Southern Africa).

The practice's website lists a deep plane facelift as a distinct procedure, separate from its standard face lift page. It also lists a stem cell facelift and a regenerative stem cell facelift, alongside brow lift, blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), rhinoplasty, otoplasty and lip lift.

A deep plane facelift is a form of rhytidectomy (the medical term for a facelift) that works beneath the SMAS (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a layer of muscle and connective tissue under the skin). Rather than pulling skin tight, the technique aims at tissue repositioning of the deeper layers that descend with facial aging.

This approach is often considered by patients in their fifties and sixties who want rejuvenation of the jawline, jowls, midface and neck. Because the deeper layers carry the lift, the skin can usually be closed with less tension, which many surgeons consider important for a natural look.

Beyond the face, Dr. Weyers's practice lists breast, body and reconstructive surgery, including fat transfer and the care of burns and trauma. Reconstructive work of this kind centres on how tissue heals and how blood supply is preserved, both of which are relevant to any surgery that lifts deeper facial layers.

The practice also lists non-surgical treatments, including chemical peels, Sculptra and scar management. For patients, this range means a consultation can weigh whether a deep plane facelift, a smaller procedure or a skin treatment suits their goals and stage of facial aging.

Recovery after a deep plane facelift typically involves one to two weeks of visible swelling and bruising, with most social activities resuming around weeks three to four. Final results tend to settle over three to six months as deeper swelling resolves and tissues soften into their new position.

For patients planning a visit to Johannesburg, the practice's website lists office hours of Monday to Thursday, 8:00 to 17:00, and Friday, 8:00 to 14:00. The site also offers an online consultation option, which can be a practical first step before arranging any trip.

Patients researching Dr. Deon Weyers should treat this profile as a starting point. Before booking, confirm specialist registration with the HPCSA, ask to see before and after photos of deep plane facelift patients specifically, and request a clear written plan covering the procedure, aftercare and follow-up.
