Abstract

Objectives: 1. Understanding the steps of deep plane face lift surgery. 2. Pre operative assesment of the aging face. 3. Detail planning of the surgery. 4. Achieving the best possible results. Introduction: Deep Plane Face Lift is a surgical procedure that has changed our view of facial rejuvenation. Introduced by Sam Hamra over 34 years ago, it was modified and re-introduced to the surgical world by A. Jacono.The effects achieved, in the age of social media, have made it synonymous with modern face lifting. Materials / method: Despite its growing popularity, it is still wrongly perceived as technically more difficult than classic face lifting methods. In my presentation, I will try to point the necessary elements of pre-operative facial analysis and procedure planning. I will also present the key stages of the operation illustrated with video material to show the advantages of Deep Plane Face Lifting as a more intuitive method and, with good knowledge of facial anatomy, easier for the surgeon. Results: Deep Plane Face Lifting is a procedure that allows for very natural and long-lasting results. Thorough knowledge of the surgical technique enables safe operation and achieves significantly better outcomes than traditional methods. Conclusion: The three general principles of effective operation presented here will help "demystify" this procedure, making it easier and more intuitive.
