What is an Extended Deep Plane Facelift?

The Extended Deep Plane Facelift is the most advanced evolution in facial rejuvenation. Unlike traditional facelifts that only tighten skin, this procedure releases and repositions deeper facial structures, including the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system), allowing for a more comprehensive and longer-lasting lift.

This "extended" technique goes beyond the midface to treat areas like the jawline, neck, and even lateral brow, achieving full-face harmony and restoring youthful definition without the pulled or artificial appearance often associated with outdated methods.

Why Choose Dr. Nassif for an Extended Deep Plane Facelift?

Not all surgeons are equipped to perform this highly specialized technique. Dr. Nassif stands out as one of the few with the depth of expertise, refined technique, and artistic vision required to deliver truly exceptional outcomes.

Here’s what sets him apart:

  • Board-certified facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon
  • Globally recognized for natural-looking results
  • Known for correcting failed surgeries and taking on complex revision cases
  • Developer of signature facelift techniques and educator at top medical institutions
  • Committed to a personalized, patient-first approach

Benefits of Extended Deep Plane Facelift

This advanced facelift technique restores youthful contours to the cheeks, jawline, and neck. By lifting deeper tissues, it delivers results that are both natural and long-lasting. The procedure preserves facial expression while avoiding the tension lines that can result from older techniques. It effectively reduces jowls, sagging skin, and deep creases while enhancing overall facial harmony with a subtle, refreshed appearance.

What to Expect During an Extended Deep Plane Facelift

Your journey begins with a detailed consultation, where Dr. Nassif will evaluate your facial anatomy, discuss your goals, and customize your surgical plan. On the day of surgery, the procedure is performed under general anesthesia at our state-of-the-art Beverly Hills surgical facility.

The surgery typically takes several hours, depending on the complexity of the case. Dr. Nassif works meticulously beneath the muscle layer to release tension and reposition the underlying facial structures for a smooth, natural lift. Small incisions are carefully placed within the hairline and around the ears to remain discreet.

Extended Deep Plane Facelift Recovery and Results

Recovery time varies, but most patients can return to light activities within two weeks and enjoy full social recovery in about four weeks. Swelling and bruising gradually subside, revealing a rejuvenated appearance that is never overdone.

Results continue to refine over the following months, offering:

  • A softer, youthful jawline
  • Smoothed nasolabial folds and marionette lines
  • Lifted cheeks and reduced under-eye hollows
  • Overall facial balance and restored vibrancy

Will my facelift look obvious or overdone?

Dr. Nassif's advanced technique is specifically designed to avoid the tight or windswept look. His goal is to help you appear refreshed and youthful, never artificial.

How is the extended deep plane facelift different from a mini facelift?

A mini facelift addresses only mild sagging and involves more limited lifting. The extended deep plane facelift repositions deeper tissues across more areas of the face and neck for more dramatic and lasting results.

Can the extended deep plane facelift be combined with other procedures?

Yes. Many patients choose to pair it with eyelid surgery, fat grafting, or laser skin resurfacing for comprehensive rejuvenation. Dr. Nassif will guide you based on your aesthetic goals.

What is the ideal time of year to schedule a facelift?

Many patients choose to schedule surgery in the cooler months, such as fall or winter, when social calendars are lighter and healing is more comfortable. However, the best time is ultimately when you feel most ready.

What anesthesia is used during the procedure?

Dr. Nassif performs this surgery under general anesthesia administered by a board-certified anesthesiologist to ensure your safety and comfort throughout the procedure.

How can I prepare my skin before surgery?

In the weeks leading up to surgery, you may be advised to follow a skincare routine, avoid certain medications, and stop smoking to optimize your healing and enhance your final result.

Will I need someone to help me after the surgery?

Yes. You should arrange for a friend, family member, or caregiver to assist you for the first 24–48 hours after surgery to ensure comfort, mobility, and proper aftercare.

What kind of follow-up care is required?

Dr. Nassif and his team provide detailed post-operative instructions and schedule follow-up visits to monitor healing, manage swelling, and ensure your results are progressing as expected. With proper care, results can last 10 years or more.
