Located in Detroit, MI, at the Center for Facial Plastic Surgery, we specialize in advanced aesthetic and reconstructive surgical techniques to achieve natural-looking and long-lasting results. With meticulous attention to detail and personalized care, our team is dedicated to helping you enhance your appearance and boost your confidence with the innovative Deep Plane Facelift.
What is a Deep Plane Neck Lift?
A deep plane neck lift is a comprehensive surgical procedure that repositions the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissues (the SMAS) to correct structural facial aging. Unlike traditional facelifts that tension the skin, the deep plane technique releases the underlying facial structures, allowing for a vertical lift of the midface and neck without a wind-tunnel appearance.
This approach is highly specialized, requiring a plastic surgeon with extensive training in facial anatomy. By working beneath the facial muscles, we can address heavy submandibular glands and deep fat deposits that non-invasive methods cannot reach.
Erasing Life’s Gravity Moments
We focus on restoring facial harmony by addressing the specific biological shifts that occur during the facial aging process. This isn't just about loose skin; it’s about the deeper structures that have migrated downward.
Is Your Profile Ready?
During your deep plane facelift consultation, we evaluate your medical history and cosmetic goals to ensure this surgical procedure is the right fit.
Pre-Game Like A Pro
This facelift surgery is an intricate navigation of the facial anatomy. We utilize IV sedation or local anesthesia with sedation to ensure comfort.
The healing process is a series of initial improvements that evolve into balanced results.
| Factor | Deep Plane Facelift | SMAS Facelift |
|---|---|---|
| Invasive Level | Works beneath the muscles | Works on top of the muscle |
| Natural Feel | High (No skin tension) | Moderate |
| Jawline Impact | Significant changes | Moderate changes |
When you meet our entire team, you’ll realize why patients say we did a wonderful job and a fantastic job on their transformations. Our background as ENT surgeons means we understand the architecture of the face better than a generalist. We don't just provide plastic surgery; we provide personalized care grounded in clinical EEAT.
We often see patients for revision rhinoplasty or brow lift procedures because they want that same level of anatomical precision. While we don't perform a tummy tuck or body work, our focus on facial aesthetics is absolute. Explore our photo gallery to see how we maintain facial harmony for our Detroit-area patients.

The cost is part of your personalized treatment plan. It reflects the surgeon's expertise, IV sedation, and the complexity of your facial anatomy.
Yes. Unlike traditional facelifts, the deep plane method creates natural results that last longer because it doesn't rely on the skin to hold the weight of the lift.
Many patients choose to add fat transfer or a brow lift to their treatment plan to address volume loss alongside sagging.
No. Because we work in the deeper layers, there is zero tension on the skin closure, which is the key to minimal scarring.
