Dr. Panossian specializes in this technique, offering patients a tailored approach to facial rejuvenation with long-lasting and natural-looking results.

However, since each patient's needs and goals are unique, you must schedule a consultation with Dr. Panossian to determine if this procedure aligns with your expectations and preferences. During this consultation, he will evaluate your medical history and facial anatomy, discuss your concerns and goals, and propose treatment options so you can make an empowered decision.
During a Deep Plane Facelift procedure, Dr. Panossian typically administers general anesthesia to ensure the patient's comfort throughout the surgery. The first step involves creating discreet incisions around the ears and possibly within the hairline to minimize visible scarring. Through these incisions, Dr. Panossian carefully lifts and repositions the underlying facial tissues, including the muscle and fat layers, to address sagging and restore youthful contours. A small, thin drain tube may be placed behind the ear to prevent fluid accumulation, which is usually removed the day after surgery.
While traditional facelift techniques primarily target the skin layer, the deep plane approach allows for more extensive repositioning of the facial structures, resulting in more natural-looking and longer-lasting results overall. Dr. Panossian employs advanced surgical techniques and meticulous attention to detail to achieve optimal outcomes tailored to each patient's unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals. The duration of the procedure varies depending on the extent of correction needed but generally ranges from three to five hours. Throughout the surgery, Dr. Panossian prioritizes patient safety and comfort while aiming to deliver exceptional aesthetic outcomes.
Recovering from Deep Plane Facelift involves several stages to ensure optimal healing and results. The recovery time for Deep Plane Facelift typically lasts between two and four weeks. Following Dr. Panossian's post-operative instructions is crucial for a successful recovery.
The day after surgery, the tube will be removed, and the dressing will be changed. During the first week of recovery, patients can expect some swelling and bruising, which will gradually improve over time. Dr. Panossian may prescribe antibiotics and pain medication to manage discomfort and prevent infection. It is essential to keep the head elevated and avoid any strenuous activities during the days after surgery. Light walks and stationary activities are allowed, but heavy lifting, contact sports, aerobics, sun exposure, high-stress daily activity, and sex should be avoided.
Most of the swelling and bruising should diminish by the conclusion of the second week. Patients may start to notice the initial results of their Deep Plane Facelift, with a more refreshed and youthful appearance. Most patients take 7-14 days off work, and makeup can help mask any residual bruising. It is still important to follow Dr. Panossian's instructions and avoid any activities that could compromise the healing process.
During the third and fourth weeks after surgery, patients can gradually resume their normal activities as long as they have received clearance from Dr. Panossian. It is essential to continue following all post-operative instructions and attend any scheduled follow-up appointments to monitor the healing process and ensure the best possible results.
By adhering to the recovery guidelines and maintaining open communication with Dr. Panossian, patients can enjoy a smooth healing process and achieve their desired Deep Plane Facelift results. Full results are typically noticeable within three to six months post-surgery.

Facelift surgery is generally safe when performed by a qualified, board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience. However, like any surgical procedure, there are potential risks and complications. These may include hematoma, facial nerve injury, infection, and adverse reactions to anesthesia.

Facelift surgery, like all invasive procedures, carries potential risks and complications. These include hematoma, a collection of blood under the skin that may require surgical drainage, and the risk of facial nerve injury, resulting in temporary or permanent facial weakness or asymmetry. Infection is another possible risk, but proper wound care and antibiotic use can help mitigate this concern. Additionally, there's a potential for adverse reactions to anesthesia, so it's crucial to discuss any history of complications with your surgeon beforehand. Following our pre- and postoperative instructions diligently can help minimize these risks, and choosing an experienced and skilled plastic surgeon like Dr. Andre Panossian can ensure the best possible outcome.

While cosmetic procedures are generally not covered by insurance, financing options such as payment plans or third-party financing companies may be available to make Deep Plane Facelift surgery more affordable for patients.
Preparing for Deep Plane Facelift involves discussing your goals and medical history with Dr. Panossian during a consultation.
