The deep-plane facelift is one of the most advanced methods of facial rejuvenation. It does not start on the surface of the skin, but corrects age-related changes deep in the tissue – for a visibly younger, yet completely natural appearance.
This technique is particularly suitable for treating sagging cheeks and a blurred jawline. By repositioning the deeper layers of tissue, volume and definition are sustainably improved.
For patients with pronounced skin and tissue laxity, the holistic deep-plane facelift offers comprehensive rejuvenation of the face and neck area – in a precisely coordinated surgical concept.
Profound change. Visible, not obvious.
When classic facelift methods reach their limits, the deep-plane facelift is the logical next step. This sophisticated technique starts where real ageing processes begin – deep in the tissue. At Diamond-Aesthetics in Düsseldorf, under the direction of Dr. Murat Dagdelen, we perform this procedure with the utmost precision – for a result that not only rejuvenates, but also respects your natural radiance.
What is a deep-plane facelift?
The deep-plane facelift is an advanced facelift procedure in which not only the skin but also the deeper structures of the face (in particular the so-called SMAS and the connective tissue layers) are loosened, repositioned and stabilized. By releasing retaining bands in the midface, the tissue can be lifted naturally and without tension – without artificial “traction”.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
❓ What is the difference between a deep-plane facelift and an SMAS lift?
Answer: With the SMAS lift, the superficial muscle layer (SMAS) is tightened. With the deep-plane facelift, this layer is detached from the deeper tissue together with the skin, repositioned and fixed without tension – for a more natural, longer-lasting result.
❓ How long does a deep-plane facelift last?
Answer: Usually between 10 and 15 years – depending on skin type, lifestyle and individual tissue structure.
❓ How long will I be restricted after the procedure?
Answer: Swelling and slight bruising are to be expected in the first few days. After 10-14 days, most patients are socially acceptable again; physical exertion should be avoided for approx. 4-6 weeks.
❓ Are there any visible scars?
Answer: The incisions run along natural contours (e.g. hairline, ear), generally heal inconspicuously and are made in such a way that they are barely visible.
❓ Is the deep-plane facelift painful?
Answer: The operation is performed under general anesthesia. Postoperatively, slight feelings of tension are normal, severe pain is rare. We will support you during the healing phase with individually tailored aftercare.
