Deep Plane Facelift in Montclair
Remove Years From Your Look With Long Lasting Results
Sun damage, lifestyle habits, and the environment can add years to your look. In addition, as we age, we produce less collagen and elastin, which help maintain healthy, toned skin. This can lead to premature aging, defined by wrinkles and folds in the skin, sagging skin and jowls, and a less defined facial profile. Our New Jersey deep plane facelifts address these issues and can provide a natural-looking, long-lasting, more youthful profile with less recovery time than a traditional facelift.
At New Jersey Plastic Surgery, Dr. Barry DiBernardo, Dr. Trovato, and their team of highly trained medical staff are here to provide you with top-rated care in our Montclair, NJ office. We strive to give you a personalized experience, utilizing our extensive research and knowledge, the newest technology available, and a focus on your results and your comfort under our care. When you choose New Jersey Plastic Surgery for your deep plane facelift and other aesthetic needs, you choose excellence.
What is a Deep Plane Facelift?
A deep plane facelift is quickly becoming the new standard in facelift surgery (rhytidectomy).
With a deep plane facelift, we tighten and lift the middle and lower areas of the face primarily by detaching the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system), the muscular and soft tissue layer beneath the superficial layer of skin. We release ligaments at different locations on the face and adjust the location of fat and muscle under the skin. This technique fixes the underlying cause and allows for a more natural-looking facelift than traditional facelift procedures.
A traditional facelift is performed by essentially detaching the skin from the SMAS, removing excess, and reattaching at a different point to create a tighter look to your face.
While this method was the standard for many years, it often left patients looking overdone with skin too taught and looking unnatural. Because of the nature of the procedure, recovery time is often longer and more painful than a deep plane facelift. And because it does not address the underlying issues, results often do not last as long as a deep plane facelift.
Benefits of a Deep Plane Facelift
While a deep plane facelift is a surgery, and the decision to have one shouldn’t be taken lightly, the benefits can greatly outweigh any hesitation you may have.
A good candidate for deep plane facelifts is in their 40s - 60s, healthy, and does not smoke (smoking not only causes premature aging but also puts you at higher risk for complications in surgery and healing). A deep plane facelift may be the answer for you if:
If you're wondering whether you'd be a good candidate for our deep plane facelift Newport Beach plastic surgeons at New Jersey Plastic Surgery can address that and any other consultation during an initial consultation.
At your initial appointment, we will do a health intake, discuss the procedure and answer any questions and concerns you may have. No two surgeries are the same, and you will leave with a personalized plan and confidence in your future new look. Because this is surgery, there is some preparation. You will be provided with clear instructions, but you can expect a few items on your checklist:
General anesthesia will be utilized. Once it has been administered, you can expect surgery to last 3 or more hours. The doctor will make small incisions by your ears and in your hairline, so that they are not noticeable, and begin the process of lifting the skin and SMAS as one unit and adjusting it to bring the skin higher onto the face to prevent sagging. Once he has trimmed excess skin, he will stitch the incision closed while also inserting drain tubes to help the healing process begin. Once you are awake from surgery and you have been cleared, you are released. Make sure you have made accommodations for someone to be with you, as you will not be able to drive yourself.
Recovery from surgery can take several weeks. We highly encourage you to rest as much as possible and maintain a good aftercare routine to ensure that your healing process goes smoothly.
You will begin to see the results of your deep plane facelift as the bruising and swelling begins to heal within a few weeks. In 3-6 months, you can expect your final results and can begin enjoying the new you. You can prolong your new look with sun protection, regular sunscreen use, and an anti-aging skin care regimen.

Deep plane facelifts have quickly become a preferred procedure for both plastic surgeons and patients. While it is an invasive surgery, the results speak for themselves. Patients report results that take years off their look in a way that is both discreet and natural looking with less recovery time than traditional facelifts.
Deep plane facelifts require general anesthesia, so you will be asleep during the procedure. As with any surgery, there is some discomfort afterward, and we will work with you to create a pain management plan.
A deep plane facelift is a medical surgery, and as with all surgeries, there are risks. One of the more commonly reported risks reported with facelifts is facial nerve injury, which is very rare and often resolves without medical intervention.
While a deep plane facelift is not permanent, you can expect long-term results. With the right skincare routine and healthy choices such as diet and limited sun exposure, your facelift will last from 10-15 years.
At New Jersey Plastic Surgery, we see a wide age range in our patients. The typical patient seeking a deep plane facelift is between the ages of 40-60 years old.
