Dr. Mark Tseng

DeepPlane's record lists Dr. Mark Tseng as board-certified by ABPS (the American Board of Plastic Surgery), and you can check that listing with the board itself. The same record notes medical education at NYU, a detail you may also wish to discuss with the practice during a first visit.

The practice describes more than two decades of work in cosmetic plastic surgery, and DeepPlane's record matches that with a figure of 20+ years. That span covers a long period of change in facial rejuvenation, from older skin-only lifts to the deeper, structure-based techniques that many surgeons now favor.

Facial surgery is one of several focus areas listed on the practice's website, alongside breast, body, hair restoration and non-surgical care. Among the face procedures shown are a facelift, mini facelift, deep plane facelift, preservation facelift, neck lift, deep plane neck lift, brow lift, eyelid surgery and facial fat transfer.

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 firm layer of tissue under the skin). Instead of pulling the skin tight, the technique releases and lifts deeper tissue so the cheeks, jawline and neck move together.

Tissue repositioning is the central idea behind this approach to facial aging. When the deeper layer is lifted as one unit, the skin can usually be closed with less tension, which many surgeons associate with a softer, less 'pulled' look and scars that settle more quietly.

Related options on the practice's site give patients more than one path to discuss. The preservation facelift, mini facelift and neck procedures may suit different stages of facial aging, and a consultation is the place to learn which, if any, fits your own anatomy and goals.

Combination planning is common in facial rejuvenation, and the practice lists several procedures often paired with a facelift. Eyelid surgery, brow lifting and facial fat transfer can address the upper face and lost volume, while energy-based treatments such as FaceTite, AccuTite and Renuvion appear on the site as separate options.

Recovery after a deep plane facelift usually unfolds over weeks rather than days. Swelling and bruising tend to peak early and fade across the first two weeks, and most people return to light social activity within about a month, though final refinement can take several months.

The practice's website also lists a program called The Tsensational Healing Methods. DeepPlane does not hold details of what it includes, so asking how it applies to facelift recovery is a sensible question to bring to your consultation in Bellevue.

Many people who explore a deep plane facelift are in their 50s and 60s, often after noticing jowls, a softened jawline or visible neck bands. A careful consultation should weigh your health, skin quality and timing, not only the look you hope to achieve.

Dr. Tseng's practice shares work on Instagram at @tsengaestheticsmd, which can give you a sense of the practice's style before you visit. Online photos show selected outcomes, so it helps to ask during consultation to see a broader range of facelift cases in patients close to your age.
