Deep Plane Facelift
Depth · Natural results · Longevity · Safety
The deep plane facelift is considered one of the most advanced facial rejuvenation techniques available today. Unlike traditional facelifts, it repositions the deep tissues of the face as a single unit, restoring firmness, defined contours and a natural, long-lasting appearance, without the pulled look of older techniques.
What is a deep plane facelift?
A deep plane facelift is a facial rejuvenation surgery performed in the deep layer of the face, repositioning the SMAS and the overlying tissues as a single unit. This restores firmness and youthful contours while fully preserving the patient's natural expressions.
What does a deep plane facelift involve?
During the procedure, the deep layer (SMAS) is released and repositioned together with the tissues of the face and neck, redefining the cheekbones, nasolabial folds, jawline and neck. Dr. Freddy Castillo plans each case individually based on the patient's anatomy and goals.
Which areas does a deep plane facelift improve?
- Cheeks and cheekbones
- Nasolabial folds
- Jawline
- Neck and double chin
- Midface
Deep Plane Facelift Results
Deep plane facelift results become visible gradually, with a firmer, rejuvenated and natural-looking face that does not alter the patient's facial expressions.

Deep Plane Facelift in Lima, Peru: frequently asked questions
- A deep plane facelift repositions the deep tissues of the face (the SMAS) as a single unit instead of only tightening the skin. This avoids a 'pulled' look and achieves a more natural, longer-lasting result.
- The incisions are placed around the ear and within the hairline, where they are naturally hidden. With good technique and proper care, the scars are very discreet.
- Because it works on the deep tissues, results typically last between 8 and 12 years. Aging continues naturally, but always from a more favorable starting point.
- Swelling and bruising are common during the first 1 to 2 weeks. Most patients resume social activities within 2 to 3 weeks, with close follow-up from Dr. Freddy Castillo throughout the process.
