Deep Plane Facelift
111 Harley St. are rated an average of 5 out of 5 based on 1352 reviews
The Deep Plane Facelift is a type of advanced facelift, medically known as a Rhytidectomy, that produces dramatic, age-defying results. It is one of Dr Yannis’ signature procedures because of its complexity, one that always ensures a striking facial transformation.
This Facelift offers superior Facial Rejuvenation and is a go-to technique for Dr Yannis because of how natural the results look and the longevity of them – which some patients have said last for 20 years. As it works on the deep anatomical planes of the face, it holds so well because it works under the muscles and platysma, so the face does not look stretched, pulled or natural. Often our patients look exactly like themselves – just even better than they looked ten, twenty or, perhaps even thirty years, before the procedure.
So, if you’re looking to undergo a Deep Plane Facelift in London – look no further, because you’ve just found the clinic that will prioritise your surgical journey and the meeting of your aesthetic goals above all else.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
It’s called the Deep Plane Facelift because it works by gently revealing the anatomical plane between the muscles, the skin’s plasma, and fibrous tissue, known as the SMAS, and then uniquely lifts all elements vertically for an immediate result. By working under the muscles, it means the skin will maintain a sense of naturalness and won’t look too tight or stretched – and of course, our top Harley Street surgeon, Dr Yannis, will ensure tension-free movement with any of his facelift procedures.
The Superficial Musculo-Aponeurotic System (abbreviated to the SMAS) and Platysma layers of skin play massive roles in the ageing process. The SMAS is located between the fat and dermal layers of skin and contains muscles and facial nerve branches.
The Platysma is an extension of the SMAS that extends down to the neckline where it becomes a separate muscle – and like all muscles, they weaken over time, leading to jowls or draping lower facial skin.
Over time, the skin may lose volume – a process called atrophy – or increase in size, called hypertrophy – which is why repositioning both the SMAS and Platysma layers will help defy the effects of gravity and promote the ultimate agelessness. Then, once treated, they contribute immensely to an overall anti-aged appearance.
One of the biggest benefits Deep Plane Facelift offers is a newfound vitality.
Some other benefits are:
Diminishes wrinkles
Skin is lifted vertically to counteract sagginess
Cheekbones and cheek structure is enhanced
Restores volume
Appearance of lower face, jowls and nasolabial folds are improved
