If you're interested in a deep plane facelift in Orlando, schedule a consultation with Dr. Saigal today.

What Is a Deep Plane Facelift?

A deep plane facelift is a surgical technique that repositions the underlying muscles and connective tissue rather than tightening only the skin. 

By lifting these deeper structures, the procedure restores volume, reduces sagging, and softens pronounced folds, achieving a refreshed and natural appearance. This method provides results that are longer-lasting and more lifelike than traditional facelift techniques.
