Deep Plane Facelift London | 28 March 2025

When considering facial rejuvenation, the Deep Plane Facelift is often regarded as the gold standard for achieving natural-looking results that stand the test of time. Unlike traditional facelifts that primarily target the skin, the Deep Plane Facelift focuses on lifting and repositioning the deeper layers of the face, including the underlying muscles and tissues, for a more comprehensive and lasting transformation.

What Makes a Deep Plane Facelift Different?

A Deep Plane Facelift goes beyond the superficial layers of the skin to target the deeper structures of the face, including the muscle layers (layer 3) and ligaments (layer 4) that contribute to sagging and loss of definition. By lifting and repositioning these deeper tissues, it restores volume and tightness where it’s needed most, avoiding the “pulled” appearance that can result from over tensioning the skin (layer 1).

Jonathan Britto’s mastery in both facial aesthetic surgery and reconstructive craniofacial surgery allows him to skilfully manipulate the five anatomical layers of the face, focusing on the five key zones. His bespoke approach to facelifts includes five signature techniques, ensuring that each patient receives a tailored solution for their unique needs:

The Refresh Lift™: A subtle but effective approach on the lower eyelid to the jawline.

The Papillion Procedure: A composite rejuvenation and reshaping of the upper and lower eyelids and cheek with no traditional facelift scars.

The J-Sculpt Lift: A highly customized approach to the jawline and neck targeting the jowl.

SMR (Sub Mental Recontouring): A chin tuck for sharp definition of jawline to adamas apple without traditional facelift scars.

Comprehensive Deep Plane: A complete facial rejuvenation providing volume and lift to the cheek, cheekbone definition, jawline definition and contour rejuvenation to the neck.

For a Deep Plane Facelift, patients have the choice between twilight sedation (conscious sedation) or general anaesthesia, ensuring that the procedure is as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Your choice of anaesthetic will be discussed in detail during your consultation, allowing for a personalised experience that meets your needs.
