Objectives: The learning objectives focus on acquiring detailed anatomical knowledge of facial structures, mastering specific surgical techniques for manipulating deeper tissue layers, and developing an aesthetic judgment for natural-looking results. Additionally, they emphasize the importance of effective patient assessment, managing risks and complications, and understanding postoperative care. These comprehensive skills ensure practitioners can safely perform the procedure and achieve optimal outcomes for their patients.

Introduction: The true deep plane facelift is a sophisticated and advanced cosmetic surgery procedure that aims to rejuvenate the facial appearance by repositioning the deeper layers of facial tissue. Differing from traditional facelift techniques that primarily tighten the skin, the true deep plane facelift targets the deeper muscular and connective tissues. This approach allows for more natural-looking results and potentially longer-lasting effects.

Materials / method: The procedure involves incisions typically made around the hairline and ears, through which the surgeon accesses the deeper layers of the face. By adjusting these layers, particularly the superficial muscular aponeurotic system (SMAS), the surgeon can effectively lift and reposition sagging facial tissues. This not only improves the contours of the face but also minimizes the tension on the skin, leading to less visible scarring and a more youthful appearance.

Results: The true deep plane facelift is especially effective in addressing aging signs in the mid-face area, including nasolabial folds and jowls. The technique's focus on deeper tissue layers also means less trauma to the skin, potentially resulting in a quicker recovery and reduced risk of complications compared to traditional methods.

Conclusion: Ideal candidates for this procedure are typically those experiencing moderate to severe facial sagging and who desire a more long-lasting solution than non-surgical treatments can provide. As with any surgical procedure, it's important for candidates to have realistic expectations, be in good overall health, and undergo a thorough consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon to determine the most appropriate approach for their individual needs and goals.
