Deep Plane facelift versus traditional Facelift by Dr. Philip Young of Bellevue | Seattle:
Question: What facelifts last the longest? If after 5-10 years do you look the same as you did as if you had nothing done?
Answer: A Deep plane facelift (Dr Young has done over 1200 facelifts) results last the longest of all the facelifts. This type of facelift depends on pulling the muscles of the face rather than the skin. There are many scientific articles that show that the muscle layer is less likely to stretch as opposed to skin. There are also numerous clinical studies in patients that support this finding. I have done over 1200 facelifts and know the difference between the different types of facelifts and have found that the deep plane facelifts last longer, much longer. To answer your question, you should always look better than a twin sister that didn’t have the facelift no matter how many years later.
