Extended deep-plane surgery involves a release of multiple tethering points throughout the face and neck, and is performed “deeper” in the face. The advantage of this is it allows the deep structures of the face to be re-elevated farther than could be achieved with simpler techniques. As a result, there is essentially zero tension on the skin, which makes the outcome look more natural and is longer lasting. One of the main reasons Dr. McInnes switched to deep-plane surgery is he found simpler techniques often lead to under-correction, and he wanted to achieve the best results he could for his patients.
The cost of an extended deep plane facelift starts at $23,000. An extended deep plane facelift with open neck contouring and minor facial fat grafting starts at $25,000.Prices for face and neck lift surgery are based on your individual surgical requirements, the exact procedures you require, and will be provided after your assessment. If comparing prices between surgeons, please remember that facelift techniques vary greatly and that deep-plane surgery is more time consuming, requires more expertise, and is more expensive to perform. Financing plans are available and are an increasingly popular option.
