When it comes to facelift procedures, there are various techniques your doctor can use to achieve your desired look. Our surgeons offer all types of facelifts including Deep Plane Facelifts Mid-Facelifts.
The deep plane facelift is a surgical procedure designed to address more advanced signs of aging, particularly in the lower face, jawline, and neck areas. This technique involves repositioning and lifting deeper layers of facial tissues to achieve a comprehensive rejuvenation effect.
Unlike traditional facelifts that primarily target the superficial layers of skin, the deep plane facelift allows for a more natural and longer-lasting outcome by restoring volume and contour to the face at a deeper level. One of the main benefits is that it restores your anatomy back to its youthful state.
During a deep plane facelift, incisions are typically made along the hairline and around the ears to access the deeper facial tissues. The underlying fascia is dissected free from the skin and underlying muscles. This fascial layer is then repositioned in a more youthful position. This fascial layer is very strong and can withstand significant tension. This allows for a long lasting results with minimal tension on the skin. Excess skin is removed, and the remaining skin is meticulously repositioned for a smooth and rejuvenated appearance.
This procedure is often combined with other facial rejuvenation techniques for optimal results.
A mid-facelift, also known as a cheek lift, focuses on rejuvenating the middle third of the face, including the cheeks, lower eyelids, nasolabial folds, and jowls. This procedure is ideal for addressing midface sagging, hollowing, and loss of volume that can contribute to an aged or tired appearance.
This procedure involves lifting and repositioning all of the tissues of the midface (i.e. muscle, fat, skin), thus restoring youthful contours and enhancing facial harmony.
During a mid-facelift, incisions are typically made discreetly within the hairline and inside the mouth to minimize visible scarring.
The surgeon then lifts and repositions the underlying tissues, including the fat pads and muscles, to elevate the cheeks and restore volume to the midface area.
A mid-facelift can be performed as a standalone procedure or combined with other facial rejuvenation techniques, such as a facelift, for comprehensive results.

“I had a double mastectomy, received chemotherapy and radiation therapy and a year after had delayed breast reconstruction (Latissimus Dorsi flap) performed by Dr. Coleman Brown. I am extremely happy with the outcome and the way I look. I don’t only recommend Dr. Brown because of how talented he is but, also for having an amazing bedside manner.”

I felt like I was heard and all the services I’ve had so far (2 visits in now) have been top notch! Zara has been wonderful! I highly recommend this place! I did a ton of research before choosing Bruno Brown Plastic Surgery and I’m so glad I finally went!”
— Jessica S.“I had a great experience with Dr. Bruno. I had to have cosmetic work after a breast cancer diagnosis and at the same time as a partial mastectomy. I am very happy with the result and my experience there. He did a terrific job and he couldn’t have been nicer. He even returned one of my calls at 9 pm at night. And his office is well run and the staff are friendly and efficient. I highly recommend.”
