To start, no one NEEDS a deep plane facelift! It simply depends on what your goals are. For younger patients with minimal skin laxity, less invasive procedures like neuromodulators, filler, laser, and radiofrequency microneedling may give them the results they desire. Once skin has lost its elasticity and has become loose, results from less invasive procedures become fairly minimal and it is likely time to consider a deep plane facelift.
Incisions in a deep plane facelift are placed within the curves of the ear and along the hairline. By tightening the underlying structures of the face, no tension is placed on the skin in a deep plane facelift, allowing the incisions to heal nearly imperceptibly. In men, sometimes the incision is placed in front of the ear. This prevents hair bearing skin from being pulled onto the tragus (the small piece of cartilage in front of the ear), which can be an obvious sign of a facelift.
Most herbal supplements should be stopped 2 weeks prior to surgery. Any blood thinner or aspirin will also need to be stopped. You should avoid taking NSAIDs for 7 days prior to surgery. Supplements like arnica, bromelain, vitamin C, and zinc may be taken prior to surgery, as these can help reduce bruising and swelling. Dr. Misch will personally review your medication list prior to surgery and discuss what to and not to take with you directly.
In most instances, Dr. Misch places 2 drains, one on each side of the neck, after deep plane facelift surgery. These are removed anywhere from 1-5 days after surgery. Drains are not painful and they significantly help reduce swelling and bruising after surgery.
