Deep Plane Facelift is considered one of the advanced facial rejuvenation techniques available today, known for its ability to lift and reposition the underlying tissue and muscle layers, bringing sagging areas of the face back to a more appropriate position. As a result, the face can appear firmer, with more defined, balanced and youthful contours. With his professional knowledge and experience in aesthetic surgery, Dr. David Cong pays close attention to the individual facial features and structure of each patient, aiming to achieve a balanced appearance that suits their needs. So, what makes this technique special? Let’s find out!
1. What Is a Deep Plane Facelift?
A Deep Plane Facelift is an advanced facelift procedure that targets the tissues beneath the skin, including the SMAS layer and deeper connective tissues. During surgery, the surgeon releases the descended tissues, repositions the soft tissues and removes excess skin when necessary.
Over time, changes in the supporting tissues can cause the cheeks to lose volume, the nasolabial folds to become more pronounced and the jawline to lose its definition. A Deep Plane Facelift is performed to address these signs of ageing, helping the facial contours appear firmer and more balanced.
The procedure can be adjusted according to each patient’s ageing condition and facial characteristics. Therefore, the surgeon will conduct an examination and provide a specific consultation to determine the appropriate scope of surgery.

Comprehensive Facial Rejuvenation
A Deep Plane Facelift focuses on the supporting tissues beneath the skin, helping improve sagging in the cheek area, nasolabial folds and jawline. As a result, the face can appear firmer, more defined and more balanced.
Natural-Looking Results
This technique does not create an overly tight or stiff facial appearance, as it focuses on releasing and repositioning sagging tissues.
Designed for Long-Lasting Rejuvenation Results
A Deep Plane Facelift can deliver results that last for many years. However, the actual duration of the results depends on each person’s individual condition, ageing process, surgical technique and post-operative care.

BOOK YOUR CONSULTATION4. Medical-Standard Deep Plane Facelift Surgery Procedure with Dr. David Cong
A Deep Plane Facelift is an advanced facial rejuvenation procedure that requires the surgeon to have a thorough understanding of facial anatomy and appropriate surgical techniques. At Dr. David Cong’s clinic, the procedure is carried out through a series of professional steps, from consultation and health checks to surgery and post-operative care, in compliance with the professional regulations and standards of the Ministry of Health.
Step 1: Direct Consultation and Examination with the Surgeon
Dr. David Cong will personally examine the patient and assess the degree of sagging in the cheeks, nasolabial folds, corners of the mouth and jawline. At the same time, he will evaluate the facial structure, skin elasticity, condition of the supporting tissues and the patient’s expectations.
Based on these factors, the surgeon will advise whether a Deep Plane Facelift is suitable, explain the surgical method and discuss the potential results before proceeding with surgery.
Step 2: General Health Check
Patients will undergo necessary tests, such as blood tests, blood pressure checks, cardiovascular function assessments and blood clotting tests. The surgeon will also review the patient’s medical history and current medications to evaluate their ability to undergo anaesthesia and surgery.
Cases in which surgery is not recommended:
- People with cardiovascular disease or high blood pressure.
- People with blood clotting disorders or a high risk of bleeding.
- People with poorly controlled diabetes.
- People currently experiencing infections or acute inflammation.
- People with severe and unstable liver, kidney or respiratory conditions.
- Women who are pregnant.
Step 3: Marking the Surgical Areas
After confirming that the patient is eligible for surgery, the surgeon will mark the areas of the face that require intervention. These positions are determined based on the degree of soft tissue sagging, facial contours and the previously agreed surgical plan.
Step 4: Anaesthesia and Surgical Preparation
The patient is taken into the operating room, where the facial area is disinfected and the necessary sterile conditions are prepared. Throughout the surgery, important vital signs, including heart rate, blood pressure, blood oxygen levels and breathing, are continuously monitored by the medical team.
Step 5: Performing the Deep Plane Facelift Surgery
With the Deep Plane technique, the surgeon releases the necessary connective tissues and works on the supporting tissue layer beneath the skin to lift and reposition sagging areas.
Areas such as the cheeks, nasolabial folds and lower face are treated according to the patient’s actual condition. After completing the tissue lifting and repositioning, the surgeon removes an appropriate amount of excess skin, avoiding excessive tension on the skin surface.
The aim is to help the facial contours appear firmer, more defined and more balanced.
Step 6: Closing the Incisions and Applying Compression Bandages
After completing the surgical procedures, the surgeon examines the treated areas, controls bleeding and closes the incisions with sutures. The incisions are carefully sutured at the selected locations.
Following this, the surgical areas are covered with compression bandages or a facial compression garment, as prescribed, to help control swelling and protect the treated areas.
Step 7: Post-Operative Monitoring and Care
After surgery, patients receive detailed instructions from the surgeon on how to clean the incisions, take prescribed medication, apply cold compresses and wear the facial compression garment correctly.
During the first few days, patients should get adequate rest, limit strenuous activities, avoid impacts to the face and follow the recommended dietary guidelines.
Patients must attend follow-up appointments as scheduled so the surgeon can examine the wounds, remove the stitches and assess the recovery process.
Proper post-operative care and following the surgeon’s instructions will support wound healing and help the recovery process progress more smoothly.
