Deep Plane Facelift in Utica, NY

What is a Deep Plane Facelift?

Are you looking for a facial procedure that provides long-lasting results and enhances your natural features? A deep plane facelift offers precisely that. By targeting the areas beneath the SMAS layer, unlike the more traditional facelift, the underlying tissue can be lifted and repositioned.

The outcome is a complete facial rejuvenation that achieves a naturally radiant, younger look. Only 5% of American surgeons perform this advanced procedure, and Dr. Williams is a leader in the field.

What are the Advantages?

By providing results that are unachievable compared to other facial procedures, the deep plane facelift is the gold standard in facial rejuvenation. In most cases, the results can last up to 12-15 years.

The recovery can be determined by various factors:

• A patient’s age
• Overall health
• Which procedures are performed as part of the surgery
