Many patients feel they are ready to commit and are excited about seeing facial transformation by undergoing a facelift. But many also worry about what exactly the results will look like. They don't want to look like they've had "work done" but like they are a younger, more vibrant version of themselves. At our practice in Houston Deep Plane Facelift can deliver refined, long-lasting results that appear natural, youthful, and true to you.
Our team, led by Houston plastic surgeon, Dr. Regina Rodman, offers only the highest quality patient care and outstanding aesthetic outcomes to each and every one of our patients, regardless of their unique needs. Dr. Rodman is adept and compassionate and can provide patients with a totally customized deep plane facelift in Houston, TX, to help them look younger and feel amazing.
A Deep Plane Facelift is an advanced surgical technique for facial rejuvenation that lifts and repositions the deeper layers of the face, including the muscles (SMAS) and connective tissue (fascia) rather than just tightening the skin. This innovative approach creates incredibly natural and youthful-looking results by restoring the foundation of the face from within. By adjusting both the skin and underlying structures together, it avoids the overly pulled or “windswept” appearance sometimes seen with more superficial lifts. Because this procedure is highly customizable, a skilled plastic surgeon like Dr. Rodman can use it to address individual signs of aging and enhance natural feminine or masculine contours for a balanced, comprehensive result.
Unlike a traditional facelift, where the skin is lifted and repositioned separately from the underlying tissue, a deep plane extended facelift repositions both the skin and lower layers together. This nuanced approach allows tension to be applied to the muscles and fascia without compromising the skin's natural appearance.
If you're looking for a way to restore your youthful glow that looks natural and will last, this procedure may be the answer. When considering a deep plane facelift Houston patients enjoy great benefits, including:
Ideal candidates for a deep plane facelift are healthy, non-smoking adults seeking to restore a youthful facial appearance while maintaining realistic expectations for their results. They usually want to address aging concerns that might include skin laxity, jowls, excess or sagging skin of the neck, wrinkles, deep lines, sunken areas, and other prominent signs of aging.
Our ultimate goal is to provide you with exactly the treatment that fits you best. At a consultation for a deep plane facelift plastic surgeon, Dr. Rodman, will examine your face, talk with you about your unique aesthetic goals, and discuss your medical history to ensure the process is safe. Preparation for the procedure may involve lab work or adjustments in medications and supplements for a short time.
In order to create the smallest possible amount of scarring, delicate incisions will be made along your hairline, near your ears, and possibly under the chin. Dr. Rodman will then precisely adjust the tissue, reposition fat pockets, and strategically place tension for a natural-looking end result. This surgery is performed under general anesthesia. The amount of time it takes depends on several factors, including patient anatomy and additional procedures if needed. Your surgical plan will be discussed in detail at your consultation.
Following your deep plane facelift, you can expect some temporary tightness, swelling, and mild bruising for the first one to two weeks. Most patients feel comfortable resuming normal daily activities after about two weeks, though full recovery and refinement of results can take several months. Your team at Face Forward will provide detailed post-operative care instructions to ensure optimal healing and beautiful, natural-looking outcomes.
Patients can return to activities after two weeks. Full recovery, where there is no longer any significant swelling and full healing that reveals final outcomes, may take up to six months. Healing well is imperative to your results, so it's crucial to follow instructions for aftercare specified by our team.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy has been proven to help with wound healing and speed recovery. At Face Forward Houston, Dr. Rodman offers hyperbaric oxygen therapy complimentary to all deep plane facelift patients. This treatment helps patients hasten recovery, feel better while healing after surgery, and return to activities more quickly.
A deep plane facelift is considered safe when performed by a skilled, board-certified facial plastic surgeon. However, all surgical procedures carry some degree of risk. Possible complications may include infection, bleeding, temporary numbness, or minor asymmetry. Choosing an experienced surgeon such as Dr. Rodman helps minimize these risks and ensures the most natural-looking, balanced results.
Our team provides thorough preoperative evaluations and detailed aftercare guidance to promote optimal healing and safety at every step of your rejuvenation journey.
For comprehensive facial rejuvenation, a deep plane facelift can be combined with additional procedures that enhance balance and harmony across the face. Common combinations include:
Combining procedures allows Dr. Rodman to create cohesive, natural-looking results that reflect a refreshed version of you — not a changed one.

The deep plane facelift has become increasingly popular in recent years as more patients and surgeons recognize its superior, natural-looking results and longevity compared to traditional facelifts.
Pain is typically mild and well managed with medication. Most patients describe tightness or fullness rather than pain during the first few days after surgery.
Most patients return to light activities or work within two weeks. Residual swelling and tightness improve gradually, with final results visible within several months.
Absolutely. The deep plane facelift is an excellent option for men seeking natural facial rejuvenation without feminizing their features. The incisions are discreet, and results are subtle yet rejuvenating.
Patients in their 40s to 60s often benefit most from a deep plane facelift, though younger individuals with early signs of aging or genetic skin laxity may also be ideal candidates.
Incisions are placed carefully around the ears, hairline, and sometimes under the chin, making them very discreet once healed. Over time, scars typically fade and blend with natural skin tone and texture.
