Deep Plane Facelift: Natural, Lasting Lift
Deep plane facelift restores natural, lasting contours by lifting deeper facial support. Dr. Solomon, a triple-board-certified plastic surgeon in Frisco, is recognized for his advanced, science-based approach. He refines the midface, jawline, and neck areas while preserving expression and confidence.
What Is a
Deep Plane Facelift
A deep plane facelift works beneath the surface, carefully releasing and repositioning the face’s support layer (the SMAS and its attached fat pads) so the midface, jawline, and neck can be elevated as one unit. By addressing the deeper architecture, not just the skin, the result reads cohesive and softly contoured, like you on a very good day.
How it Differs From a Traditional Facelift
Many traditional techniques tighten the skin and tighten the SMAS from above. The deep plane approach goes under that layer, releasing key tether points first and then lifting the entire support layer upward.
Because the lift isn’t dependent on tight skin, the finish tends to look balanced rather than pulled, with particular impact through the midface and along the jawline.
When Does Dr. Solomon Recommend It
Deep plane techniques are anatomy-driven and designed to move the facial foundation where it naturally belongs, rather than stretching the surface. It’s a structured, methodical lift that prioritizes harmony from cheek to neck and aims to preserve your expressions and character.

AFTERIn your pre-op visit, we confirm goals, map the lift, and set your plan. You’ll get simple prep steps: pause blood thinners/nicotine as advised, wash hair the night before, fast if required. We take photos for reference. Arrange a ride home and two weeks of lighter activity. If helpful, we’ll plan add-ons like fat grafting or skin touch-ups so cheeks, jawline, and neck improve together.
Under general anesthesia, Dr. Solomon works through hairline-friendly incisions to free the deep support layer and elevate the cheeks, jawline, and neck as one for a smooth, cohesive contour, adding fat shaping or focused neck work when needed. Incisions are closed precisely, small drains may be placed, and a light dressing applied, with surgery typically lasting several hours followed by a calm, monitored wake-up in recovery.
Recovery from a deep plane facelift surgery is longer than traditional methods due to its extensive nature. Patients usually go home the same day, unless combined procedures require an overnight stay. Drains are required for 3-5 days. Showering can resume within 24 hours, though the area will be tender. Swelling and bruising typically last 2-3 weeks, and makeup can be applied by the second week. Full results may take 3-4 months to become visible.

The procedure is generally more extensive than a traditional facelift. Most deep plane facelifts take about 3-5 hours in the operating room. If combined with complementary procedures (such as a necklift, fat grafting, or eyelid surgery), it can extend to 5-6 hours or longer. Dr. Solomon will provide a specific time estimate during your consultation.
While bruising and swelling diminish in 2-3 weeks, full results can take 3-4 months to be seen. Most patients feel comfortable at major events around this time, but individual healing varies.
The pricing is based on the extent of the procedure. Financing options are available to help manage the cost of your surgery. A more precise quote will be provided at your consultation.
Natural results are achieved by lifting the deeper muscle and tissue layers (SMAS) as a single unit, rather than just pulling the skin. This avoids a "pulled" look and restores youthful contours.
