What to Expect During a Deep Plane Facelift
Once your surgical plan is finalized, your procedure will be performed under IV sedation or general anesthesia and typically lasts several hours. Dr. Goggin makes discreet incisions around the ears and hairline to access the deeper layers. These tissues are released and lifted to restore youthful contour and volume. The skin is then carefully redraped without tension for smooth, elegant results. This deeper approach allows Dr. Goggin to rejuvenate the face comprehensively while preserving your natural expressiveness.
Deep Plane Facelift Recovery and Results
After surgery, patients can expect temporary swelling, bruising, and mild tightness, which gradually subside over one to two weeks. Most patients return to work and social activities within three to four weeks. Dr. Goggin and his team provide attentive follow-up care, guiding you through each recovery milestone and ensuring your comfort. Final results continue to refine over several months, revealing balanced contours and a rejuvenated, confident appearance that can last a decade or more.
