Signature technique

Dr. Glynn Bolitho's signature technique in facial rejuvenation is the deep plane facelift, a sophisticated evolution from traditional methods. This approach specifically targets the sub-SMAS layer, or superficial muscular aponeurotic system, to achieve more natural and enduring results. The deep plane technique involves carefully releasing and repositioning facial ligaments while meticulously maintaining tissue integrity. Dr. Bolitho emphasizes that proper execution of this method allows for comprehensive midface lifting, crucially avoiding the telltale signs of surgical intervention often associated with older facelift procedures. This focus on the deep plane ensures outcomes that respect individual facial anatomy and aging patterns, providing a refreshed appearance without an "operated" look.

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.

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. Glynn Bolitho can discuss expected outcomes for your anatomy during consultation.
