Deep Plane Vertical Facelift in Dallas, Texas

Facelift Overview

The facelift procedure repositions descended facial tissues from the cheek into mouth folds and along the jawline. The FreshLift facelift comprehensively addresses sagging skin around the neck and removes excess fat using strategic liposuction techniques.

Procedure Evolution and Technique

Before 1970, facelift procedures simply involved lifting and trimming skin, which provided limited, short-term results. The 1970s introduced the SMAS facelift technique, significantly improving outcome longevity by tightening deeper tissue layers.

Advanced Surgical Approach

Dr. Standefer utilizes the most advanced facelift technique: the deep plane, vertical facelift. This method involves:

• Lifting the SMAS layer vertically
• Attaching tissue to strong cheekbone structures
• Providing longer-lasting facial rejuvenation
• Creating natural, understated results

The FreshLift facelift is performed under local anesthesia, typically taking approximately two hours. Patients can expect comprehensive facial and neck transformation with minimal invasiveness.
