DEEP PLANE LIFTING IN BARCELONA
WHAT IS A DEEP PLANE FACELIFT?
The most advanced Deep Plane facelift for natural, tension-free rejuvenation.
The deep plane facelift repositions the deep tissues of the face to restore firmness, structure and harmony without altering your features.
The Deep Plane facelift operates at a deep anatomical level, beneath the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) and above the deep musculature. It is at this level that the ligaments and fat compartments supporting the midface, jaw, and neck are located.
By carefully releasing these ligaments and repositioning the tissues from their origin, a structural, natural, and lasting rejuvenation is achieved.
In addition, this technique combines volume replacements such as lipofilling and other techniques such as eyebrow lifting and blepharoplasty.
What are the benefits of a Deep Plane Lift?
Deep Plane facelift surgery means restoring structure, support, and coherence to the face.
Unlike conventional facelifts that pull the skin, the deep plane facelift creates visible, natural, and long-lasting results, offering multiple benefits such as:
- Reposition the deep volumes of the mid-third and neck.
- More defined cheekbones and softened wrinkles.
- Redefinition of the mandibular line.
- Firmer neck and cleaner cervicofacial angle.
- Less skin tension and better scar quality.
- Long-lasting results (10–15 years).
- Preserve your expressiveness, avoiding the «stretched» effect and creating a rested appearance without altering your essence.
- Restore anatomy without altering your facial identity.
Our focus at Dfine Clinic Barcelona
At Dfine Clinic, each deep plane facelift is designed individually:
- Detailed anatomical analysis.
- Selective release of deep ligaments.
- Three-dimensional repositioning without surface tension.
- Preservation of movement, expression and naturalness.
- Millimeter precision at each fixing point.
The technique is adapted to each patient’s face, not the other way around. “The success of a facelift lies in it being undetectable. The face should look rested, balanced, and in harmony with your age.”
— Dr. Carmelo Famà
What is the procedure and recovery like?
The cosmetic surgery lasts approximately 5 hours. In most cases, general anesthesia or deep sedation is used. It is a highly specialized surgery requiring in-depth anatomical knowledge and aesthetic judgment. The patient is discharged either the same day or the following day.
During the first few weeks, inflammation is moderate. You can resume daily activities after 10–14 days, while physical exercise should be avoided after 4 weeks.
Final results can be seen between 3 and 6 months.
Who is it for?
This treatment is ideal for you if you have:
- Moderate or severe sagging in cheeks and neck.
- Loss of mandibular contour.
- Prominent nasolabial or paranasal folds.
- Sagging of the mid-face and a «tired» appearance.
- Facial aging from 40-45 years old.

COMPARISON
Deep Plane vs. Conventional lifting: The difference lies in the plane where the work is done.
| CHARACTERISTICS | CONVENTIONAL FACELIFT | DEEP PLANE LIFTING |
|---|---|---|
| Working plane | On skin and superficial SMAS | In the deep plane under SMAS |
| Aim | Tense | Reposition |
| Result | More visible, risk of a «stretched» effect | Natural, coherent, without tension |
| Duration | 5-7 years | 10-15 years |
| Indication | Mild-moderate sagging | Moderate-severe sagging |
| Recovery | Increased skin tension | More comfortable recovery |
That’s why Deep Plane is the reference technique when looking for a natural and structural result.
