Turn Back the Clock with a Deep Plane Facelift
Are you looking for a facial rejuvenation solution that offers dramatic, yet natural-looking results? At The Brandow Clinic in Bala Cynwyd, PA and Somers Point, NJ, we specialize in the deep plane facelift—a state-of-the-art surgical procedure that lifts and repositions the deeper layers of facial tissue, not just the skin. The result is a youthful, refreshed appearance that avoids the tight, “pulled” look often associated with traditional facelifts.
Dr. Kirk Brandow, a board-certified cosmetic surgeon known for his meticulous technique and natural aesthetic, brings decades of experience and innovation to every deep plane facelift he performs.
What Is a Deep Plane Facelift?
The deep plane facelift is considered one of the most advanced facial rejuvenation procedures available today. Unlike standard facelifts, which lift only the skin and superficial muscles, a deep plane facelift targets the SMAS layer (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) and ligamentous attachments that support facial structure. This deeper dissection allows for a more comprehensive and longer-lasting lift.
The deep plane technique is particularly effective for individuals who want to:
- Improve sagging in the midface, jawline, and neck
- Lift and restore volume in the cheeks
- Smooth deep nasolabial folds (smile lines)
- Achieve natural, long-lasting results
Because the procedure lifts and repositions the face’s foundational layers, it provides a more elegant and organic enhancement—often described as “you, just more refreshed.”
What to Expect at The Brandow Clinic
At The Brandow Clinic, every deep plane facelift begins with a personalized consultation. Dr. Brandow will carefully evaluate your facial structure, skin condition, and personal goals to determine if this approach is right for you. You’ll receive a fully customized treatment plan based on your anatomy and desired results.
