This facelift, also called classic or total facelift, targets all areas of the face for a comprehensive rejuvenation. When doing a deep plane facelift, your doctor will aim at your entire face, including the jaw, chin and neck area.

What distinguishes it from other facelifts, like mini facelift, is that the incisions extend to the hairline at the back of the ear, from the typical starting point which is the front of the ear. Therefore, if your skin concerns are directly related to your neck and jaw area, deep plane facelift will be the perfect solution for you!

To summarize, if your saggy or wrinkly skin parts include the lower half of your face, feel free to get a deep plane facelift consultation from us.

💯 Most Comprehensive & Permanent Facelift

Overall, you can tell that deep plane facelifting is the ideal choice for people having saggy skin issues on their neck area. Since operations such as mid-facelift and endoscopic facelift intend a smaller zone of skin, this method of facelift is the most comprehensive one among all.

❗❗ It may also be considered as the most permanent type of facelift due to the fact that the neck ages more visibly past the age of 40-45 after which the collagen & hyaluronic acid amount in the skin start to decrease. That is the main reason it is a quite popular facelift category between middle-aged people.

As we mentioned endoscopic facelift (leading incisions through frontal hairline), we should also imply that the deep plane method involves incisions through the hair so it is unnoticeable in the future. In that case, if your main concern is scarring you can get information on all types of Facelifting just by clicking! 

 

🤩 Deep Plane Facelift with Stem Cell Option!

Stem cells are already available structures within our fatty tissues. Especially after the age of 30, our skin tends to slowly lose the amount of fatty tissues, which leads to lesser skin elasticity. Since stem cells produce collagen by transforming into skin-cells needed in the area injected, stem cell injection is an important practice in skin regeneration.

Therefore, Dr. Cengizhan promotes stem cell injection either as a part of cosmetic surgery, or on its own. A delicate and quite rare stem cell device in Turkey supports the operations for additional glowing in skin.
