Discover the Gold Standard in Facial Rejuvenation

Looking refreshed shouldn’t mean looking different. Patients seeking a deep plane facelift in Shrewsbury trust Dr. Manolakakis to restore youthful facial contours by addressing the deeper structures that shape the face.

Rather than simply tightening the skin, a deep plane facelift lifts and repositions the underlying facial tissues. This advanced approach creates smoother, longer-lasting results that move naturally with your expressions.

Dual board-certified and fellowship-trained, Dr. Manolakakis combines advanced surgical training with a thoughtful, personalized approach to facial rejuvenation. The goal is simple: results that look balanced, natural, and uniquely suited to you.

Results That Go Beyond Surface Tightening

A deep plane facelift restores youthful contours by repositioning the tissues that support the cheeks, jawline, and neck. At Advanced Facial Surgery, Dr. Manolakakis uses this technique to create smoother transitions and naturally defined facial contours.

Lift and Restore the Midface

By repositioning descended cheek fat and deeper tissues, Dr. Manolakakis restores midface support, softens nasolabial folds, and improves the appearance of jowls.

Smooth and Refine the Neckline

Lifting deeper tissues along the jawline and neck helps refine sagging contours and create a more defined profile.

Natural Results That Last

Because tissues are repositioned at a deeper level, results typically last longer and move naturally with your expressions.

What Makes a Deep Plane Facelift Different From Traditional Lifts?

Facelift procedures differ in the extent to which they address facial aging. While traditional techniques focus on tightening skin or superficial layers, a deep plane facelift restores the deeper structures that support the face.

Deep Plane Facelift

A full facelift lifts deeper facial tissues and removes excess skin to restore smoother contours across the cheeks, jawline, and neck.
Tightens the muscular layer beneath the skin to improve sagging in the lower face. While effective for some patients, it typically provides less improvement in the midface.

Deep Plane Facelift

A smaller procedure designed for early signs of aging. It focuses on subtle tightening along the jawline and is best suited for patients with mild skin laxity.
During your consultation, Dr. Manolakakis will evaluate your facial structure and recommend the technique that best matches your goals.

Is a Deep Plane Facelift Right for You?

A deep plane facelift is designed for patients whose facial aging involves deeper tissue descent, not just loose skin. If sagging cheeks, jowls, or deep folds make you look more tired than you feel, this approach may provide the most natural improvement.

You may be a good candidate if:

  • Have noticeable sagging in the midface, jowls, or jawline
  • Have deep nasolabial folds that create a heavier appearance
  • Notice loose skin along the neck that softens your profile
  • Want long-lasting results that still look natural when you move or smile

A deep plane facelift may not be the best option if you:

  • Have only mild skin laxity that may respond well to a mini facelift or neck lift
  • Are seeking subtle jawline refinement or have early signs of aging

Not sure if this technique is right for you? Dr. Manolakakis will discuss your goals and recommend the right approach.

What to Expect During Your Recovery

Here’s what most patients can expect while healing from a deep plane facelift:

01

Week 1

It’s normal to experience swelling, bruising, and tightness early on. Rest with your head elevated, avoid strenuous activity, and follow your post-operative instructions. Some stitches may be removed.

02

Week 2

Swelling decreases and your results begin to take shape. Remaining sutures are removed at your follow-up appointment. Many patients resume light routines and may return to the gym once cleared.

03

Weeks 3–4

Most bruising has resolved and facial contours appear more defined. You can ease back into your normal routine while protecting your skin from the sun.

04

Week 6

Your face looks noticeably refreshed, and any remaining swelling is minimal. Most patients feel comfortable returning to social events at this stage.

05

Months 3–6

Your results continue to refine as deeper tissues settle into place. Facial contours look smooth, natural, and continue improving over time.
