Deep-plane expertise
The most comprehensive facial rejuvenation — done right
A deep-plane facelift repositions the deepest structural layers of the face — not just the skin — producing natural, long-lasting results that no less invasive treatment can replicate. At Surgical Suites of Beverly Hills, your surgeon operates in a private, fully equipped OR with a team trained for complex facial procedures. The environment is as exacting as the surgery.

What is a deep-plane facelift?
A deep-plane facelift addresses the underlying SMAS layer and fat compartments of the face, lifting tissue from its root rather than stretching the skin. The result is natural and long-lasting — without the pulled appearance associated with older techniques. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes 3–5 hours. Most patients return home the same day.

FAQs
Common questions about this service and what to expect.
Yes. Facelift is commonly combined with neck lift, eyelid surgery, brow lift, and facial fat grafting. Your surgeon will help determine what combination makes sense for your goals and anatomy.
Post-operative follow-up is managed through your surgeon's office. Our team coordinates closely to ensure continuity of care throughout your recovery.
Some bruising and swelling is expected and normal. The most significant swelling typically peaks around days 3–4 and begins to resolve within the first two weeks. Most patients feel comfortable in social settings within 2–3 weeks.
Facelift at our facility is performed under general anesthesia, administered and monitored by a board-certified anesthesiologist throughout the procedure.
Incisions are placed strategically within and around the hairline and natural ear contours to minimize visibility. Most scars fade substantially over 12–18 months and are well-concealed with normal hairstyling.
A deep-plane facelift typically produces results lasting 10–15 years. While aging continues, improvements are durable — and patients often look younger for their age even years later.
A traditional facelift tightens the skin directly, which can produce a pulled look and shorter-lasting results. A deep-plane facelift works at the level of the underlying muscle and fat, repositioning tissue from the root for results that are more natural and significantly longer-lasting.
Most patients take 2–3 weeks before returning to social activities. Significant swelling and bruising typically resolve within 2–3 weeks, though residual swelling may take several months to fully subside. Your surgeon will provide a detailed recovery timeline at your consultation.
