In the realm of facial rejuvenation, the quest for natural and lasting results is paramount. Traditional facelift techniques, while effective, often fall short of achieving the most harmonious and enduring outcomes. Enter the deep plane facelift, a revolutionary approach that promises superior rejuvenation by addressing the deeper structures of the face. Eric Cerrati, MD, FACS, an esteemed expert in facial plastic surgery, wants to share the unparalleled advantages of the deep plane facelift and how it can transform your appearance with natural and long-lasting results.

The Advantages of the Deep Plane Facelift

The deep plane facelift is a sophisticated surgical technique that goes beyond the superficial layers of the skin. Unlike traditional facelifts, which primarily tighten the skin and underlying tissues, the deep plane facelift targets the deeper muscular structures and the connective tissue layer known as the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system). By releasing and repositioning these deeper structures, Dr. Cerrati can achieve a more comprehensive and natural lift that addresses the root causes of facial aging. This technique offers the following advantages over traditional facelift methods:

  • Natural-Looking Results: One of the most significant advantages of the deep plane facelift is its ability to produce exceptionally natural-looking results. By working on the deeper layers of the face, Dr. Cerrati can reposition the facial tissues in a way that mimics the natural youthful contours, avoiding the “pulled” or “tight” appearance often associated with traditional facelifts.
  • Enhanced Longevity: Because the deep plane facelift addresses the deeper structural components of the face, the results tend to be more enduring. Patients can enjoy the benefits of their rejuvenated appearance for many years, often longer than those achieved with more superficial techniques.
  • Comprehensive Rejuvenation: The deep plane facelift effectively lifts the midface, jowls, and neck, providing a more comprehensive rejuvenation. This technique can smooth deep nasolabial folds, lift sagging cheeks, and define the jawline, resulting in a harmonious and balanced facial appearance.
  • Minimized Scarring: Dr. Cerrati employs advanced surgical techniques to minimize scarring. The incisions are strategically placed within the natural creases and contours of the face and around the ears, making them less noticeable once healed.
  • Improved Facial Harmony: By addressing multiple areas of the face simultaneously, the deep plane facelift can improve overall facial harmony. This holistic approach ensures that the results are not only youthful but also naturally proportionate, enhancing the patient’s unique features.

Dr. Eric Cerrati customizes each deep plane facelift to the individual needs and aesthetic goals of his patients. The procedure involves making incisions around the ears and sometimes extending into the hairline. Through these incisions, Dr. Cerrati carefully releases and repositions the deeper facial tissues, lifting and securing them in a more youthful position. Excess skin is then trimmed away, and the incisions are meticulously closed.

Recovery and Results

Recovery from a deep plane facelift typically involves some swelling and bruising, which gradually subsides over a few weeks. Dr. Cerrati provides detailed post-operative care instructions to facilitate a smooth recovery process. Most patients can return to their normal activities within two to three weeks, revealing a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance.

The results of a deep plane facelift are often transformative, with patients enjoying a naturally youthful look that can last for many years. The enhanced facial contours, smooth skin, and restored volume contribute to a rejuvenated appearance that can significantly boost confidence and self-esteem.

Dr. Cerrati and his entire staff have created a unique, upbeat and healing environment to explore any facial plastic work you may be considering. I literally can't say enough. I was actually very nervous about this kind of work and super pain averse and just had a facelift, upper and lower bleph and neck work. Dr. Cerrati is so calm and doesn't pressure you at all. He is a master surgeon and the most meticulous. His heart and kindness shine through and he cares very much about his patients - even giving me his own personal mobile number for any questions or concerns post surgery. I was terrified to try this and Dr. Cerrati and his staff made me feel comfortable trusting in their care and expertise. He is a world class professional and there is no one else I would recommend you visit for facial plastic and med spa services. I am now one month post surgery and very excited about the results. Don't hesitate to book an informational visit with Dr. Cerrati and his team. They are lovely and I promise, you won't regret it! PS. I would give 10 stars instead of 5! :)

I cannot recommend Dr. Cerrati highly enough for the exceptional work he did on my brow lift and rhinoplasty. His talent and skill are truly remarkable, and I’m absolutely thrilled with the results. The entire process was seamless—I experienced no pain or bruising, and my recovery was incredibly smooth and stress-free. Dr. Cerrati and his staff are the epitome of professionalism, providing five-star care that made me feel confident and supported every step of the way. If you’re looking for a top-tier surgeon and team, Dr. Cerrati is the cream of the crop! Love Haley and the all the ladies, when you walk into their Beautiful, clean office everyone has bright smiles, and a fabulous energy that makes you feel welcomed and comfortable. Best experience!

I just want to say I absolutely LOVE Dr. Cerrati! He is the kindest doctor I’ve ever had. He is also the most talented doctor I’ve ever known. I am still in awe of the work he did on me. I see a lot of people everyday in my line of work, and not a day goes by that I don’t have at least 5-6 people asking me what I have done to my face and how do I look so much younger. I am extremely happy with Dr. Cerrati’s work on me. I have women in my office that go to what they claim are “the best” plastic surgeons in Beverly Hills and pay up to $150,000 for a facelift. Not only do my results surpass the quality of these “top” Beverly Hill surgeons, Dr. Cerrati exceeded my expectations. To say I am very happy with his work is an understatement. Everything from the first appointment throughout the entire process has been smooth, comfortable and surprisingly easy. It really has all been so seamless - including his office staff. They are all so wonderful and helpful. I would give them all a 5 star rating as well.

From start to finish, I felt completely safe, comfortable, and confident in his care. His skill and expertise are unmatched — a true 5-star experience. His entire staff is equally amazing — professional, compassionate, and top-notch in every way. Always greated with beautiful warm smiles! They made every step of the process incredibly easy, providing warm, personalized attention and creating a smooth, stress-free experience. If you are looking for the very best and i mean the absolute best — someone who is not only extraordinarily competent and skilled but also caring and genuine — look no further. Dr. Cerrati and his entire team are simply outstanding.
