Common Questions Answered
Because clarity creates confidence.
Is a Deep Plane Facelift better than a SMAS Facelift?
A Deep Plane Facelift offers more significant and natural-looking results, more comprehensive treatment, and longer-lasting rejuvenation than a traditional or SMAS Facelift. Dr. Davis is capable of performing multiple types of techniques including the SMAS Facelift, however the Deep Plane Facelift is the gold standard in modern day facelifting, with few surgeons actually performing them. Overwhelmingly, patients are thrilled with their Deep Plane Facelift results, as it delivers substantial rejuvenation without any obvious indications of having undergone surgery.
How painful is a Deep Plane Facelift?
Many patients are surprised to learn that a Deep Plane Facelift is generally less painful than a traditional facelift. This is because it does not involve separating as much skin from the underlying tissues.
Can you have more than one Facelift?
In general, patients may undergo more than one Facelift procedure over the course of their lifetime. However, the exact number of Facelifts any one patient can undergo depends on the condition of their concerns and medical history.
Where do you place incisions for a deep plane facelift?
In Dr. Patrick Davis’s Beverly Hills facial plastic surgery clinic, deep plane facelift incisions are always discrete. Dr. Davis places his incisions within the hairline, along the temples and behind the ears. This placement allows patients to wear their hair up without exposing visible scars and protects the hair along the temples from falling out. Deep plane facelift scars also travel along the natural contours of the ear, and Dr. Davis expertly hides these scars so they are undetectable. Dr. Davis’s signature deep plane facelift technique, the Evolyft™, allows for minimal tension on the wound edge, which facilitates impeccable wound healing.
When is the best age to have a facelift?
The most advanced scientific studies are showing that the signs of aging appear in waves around one’s early-to-mid 40s and 60s. Traditionally, facelifts have been recommended for older patients in their late 60s and 70s. Recently, however, many patients in their 40s are turning to Dr. Davis’s innovative EvoLyft™ deep plane facelift technique in order to address the hormonal signs of aging that seemingly appeared “overnight.” This skew toward younger patients interested in the deep plane facelift reflects a desire for a more natural-looking aesthetic that is durable and requires less treatment over the years.
When can I expect to be fully healed from a deep plane facelift?
The bulk of the healing and swelling diminishes after a deep plane facelift within the first 3-4 weeks. Dr. Patrick Davis sees many patients in his Beverly Hills facial plastic surgery clinic who feel comfortable going out in public around 10 days post-op with makeup or accessories such as scarves. Dr. Davis tells each of his patients that it takes a total of 6 months for all swelling to fully subside. Healing times vary based on each patient’s anatomical characteristics as well as pre-and post-operative lifestyle choices. Dr. Davis recommends hyperbaric oxygen and strategic lymphatic massage treatments to speed healing times for his patients. Through his advanced Evolyft ™ Deep Plane Facelift technique, Dr. Davis preserves the blood flow to the skin, which also improves recovery times for his patients.
When can I go back to work after surgery?
In general, facial plastic surgery is less about pain and debilitation, and more about the cosmetic “downtime” caused by bruising and swelling. Dr. Davis recommends that deep plane facelift patients take a minimum of one week off from work, ideally two weeks, if possible, especially if the patient’s job requires strenuous physical activity. In Dr. Davis’s Beverly Hills facial plastic surgery clinic, patients who work from home often say they can resume work within a few days. Dr. Davis recommends all out of town patients plan to be in the Los Angeles area for a minimum of one week.
What measures can I take to encourage a smooth recovery? (I.E. low salt diet, light exercise, lymphatic drainage, etc. )
At Davis Facial Plastics, we provide each patient with a roadmap to optimal recovery and our expert team is with you at every step of your recovery journey. In his Beverly Hills facial plastic surgery clinic, Patrick Davis, MD believes a proper diet- high in protein, fiber, fruits, and vegetables works best for recovery. Dr. Davis also stresses that recovery diets must be low in salt and added sugar in order to achieve the best results with regard to swelling and wound healing. Each patient is given a list of essential vitamins and supplements that aid in healing. Dr. Patrick Davis also highly recommends hyperbaric oxygen and lymphatic massage to reduce healing time. The team at Davis Facial Plastics assists each patient with scheduling these services as needed.
What kind of anesthesia will I undergo during my surgery?
For procedures performed in our Beverly Hills facial plastic surgery clinic, Dr. Patrick Davis uses local anesthesia wherein the face is strategically numbed with injections. For surgeries performed at our partner surgical centers, Dr. Davis utilizes board-certified anesthesiologists to provide twilight sedation. This involves an IV of medication that makes the patient fall asleep. However, patients are not so sedated that they require a tube or ventilator to assist with breathing, as is common with general anesthesia. Patients often report feeling well-rested after twilight sedation without any recollection of the surgery.
Are there any preoperative tests I need before the facelift? (Medical testing? EKG? Etc.)
At Dr. Davis’s Beverly Hills facial plastic surgery clinic, patient safety is our utmost priority. Any patient who undergoes twilight anesthesia must receive a basic blood work panel and have a pre-operative physical performed. Depending on the patient’s age, an EKG may also be required. The team at Davis Facial Plastics assists with coordinating these tests prior to every surgery. For in-office procedures, Dr. Davis recommends preoperative testing on a case-by-case basis.
