As we age, our skin loses elasticity, facial tissues shift, and deep creases begin to form. A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a highly effective procedure to restore a youthful, refreshed appearance. At Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery Group, Dr. John Layke is uniquely specialized in performing facelifts with a personalized, patient-centered approach. Using advanced imaging and meticulous surgical planning, he ensures that each facelift is tailored to enhance natural beauty while preserving the patient’s unique character.
The Art of a Customized Facelift
Every face is different, and every facelift should be too. Dr. Layke approaches each procedure with precision and artistry, customizing techniques to address specific concerns such as:
- Sagging in the midface
- Deep creases below the lower eyelids
- Deep creases along the nose extending to the corner of the mouth
- Fat that has fallen or is displaced
- Loss of muscle tone in the lower face creating jowls
- Loose skin and excess fatty deposits under the chin and jaw can make even a person of normal weight appear to have a double chin
Procedures typically performed in conjunction with a facelift are brow lifts to correct a sagging or deeply furrowed brow, and eyelid surgery to rejuvenate aging eyes. Minimally invasive laser procedures such as skin resurfacing, skin brightening, sun spot removal, and RFAL Facetite (Radio Frequency Assisted Lipolysis) complement facelift surgery for an overall rejuvenated look.
What facelifts won’t do
As a restorative surgery, a facelift does not change your fundamental appearance and cannot stop the aging process.
Is it right for me?
A facelift can only be performed surgically; non-surgical rejuvenation treatments cannot achieve the same results, but may help delay the time at which a facelift becomes appropriate and complement the results of surgery. Facelift surgery is a highly individualized procedure and you should do it for yourself, not to fulfill someone else’s desires to try to fit any sort of ideal image.
Facelift surgery is a good option for you if:
- You are physically healthy
- You do not smoke
- You have a positive outlook and specific but realistic goals in mind for the improvement of your appearance
It may take several months for swelling to fully dissipate and up to six months for incision lines to mature.
Life-long sun protection will help to maintain your rejuvenated appearance by minimizing photo-aging or sun damage. In addition, a healthy lifestyle will also help extend the results of your rejuvenated, more youthful appearance. This includes reducing tobacco use or stopping altogether.
Deep Plane Face and Neck Lift: Turning Back Time with Lasting Results
For those seeking the most advanced and long-lasting facial rejuvenation, Dr. Layke specializes in the deep plane face and neck lift. Unlike traditional facelifts that primarily address surface skin, this technique lifts and repositions the deeper layers of facial muscles and tissues, creating:
- Natural-looking results without a tight or pulled appearance
- Enhanced jawline definition and reduced jowls
- Significant improvement in neck laxity and sagging skin
- Long-lasting rejuvenation that stands the test of time
What is a Deep Plane Face and Neck Lift?
A deep plane face and neck lift is a cutting-edge surgical procedure designed to address the effects of aging by targeting the deeper layers of your face and neck. Unlike traditional facelifts that mainly focus on the surface skin, this advanced technique goes deeper to provide more natural, long-lasting results.
How Does It Work?
During the procedure, our highly skilled plastic surgeon will make discreet incisions, usually hidden along your hairline and around your ears. From there, they will gently lift and reposition the deeper layers of your facial and neck muscles and tissues. This technique allows us to restore youthful contours, smooth out wrinkles, and tighten loose skin.
Why Choose a Deep Plane Face and Neck Lift?
- Natural-Looking Results: By addressing the underlying structures of your face and neck, this procedure creates more natural, harmonious results that can take years off your appearance.
- Long-Lasting: Deep plane facelifts are known for their durability, providing rejuvenation that can stand the test of time.
- Improved Neck and Jawline: Say goodbye to jowls and a sagging neck, as this procedure can significantly enhance the definition of your jawline and neck.
- Minimal Scarring: Our skilled surgeon ensures that incisions are discreetly placed for minimal visible scarring.
- Customized for You: Each deep plane facelift is tailored to your unique facial and neck structure, ensuring personalized, natural-looking results.
Is It Right for You?
A deep plane face and neck lift is an excellent option if you’re looking for a comprehensive facial rejuvenation that goes beyond the surface. It’s ideal for individuals who want to achieve a more youthful appearance without the “pulled” or unnatural look often associated with traditional facelifts.
