Face & Neck Lift in Brussels — Deep Plane technique

A natural result, not a frozen face

Unlike a traditional facelift that simply tightens the skin, the Deep Plane technique repositions the deep tissues of the face. The result: a redefined jawline, a clean neckline and a preserved expression. We don’t change your face — we restore its freshness. This commitment to a natural result has guided every procedure by Dr Cantella for 20 years.

Deep Plane or SMAS facelift: what’s the difference?

The SMAS facelift works on the superficial muscular layer; the Deep Plane technique releases and repositions the tissues at a deeper plane, giving a more natural and longer-lasting result, especially on the lower face and neck. Dr Cantella selects the technique best suited to your anatomy during the consultation.

The lifting is a procedure that allows repositioning the tissues of the face after a sagging due to the effects of age, muscle tension, sun exposure, etc... Performed on both women and men, the lifting is carried out from the age of forty-five, when the signs of aging appear.

Cervico-facial SMAS, Deep plane Facelift, or mini-lift, temporal lifting associated with lipostructure , peeling or laser C02 fractionned.. To achieve the best result, your surgeon will use different techniques, depending on the quality of your skin, the extent of sagging, and the amount of skin and fat to be removed. Thus, the lifting can be partial or more significant, and it may sometimes involve a procedure on the muscles, fat, eyelids, or forehead.

Pre-operative examinations aimed at highlighting any contraindications are systematically performed. The intervention lasts two to three hours and is carried out under general anesthesia or under local anesthesia combined with the administration of sedatives depending on the extent of the procedures to be performed. It is performed on an outpatient basis.

Post-operative follow-up:

You will be able to get up from the first day and you will no longer have dressings from the next day. A painless facial edema appears and 8 to 12 days will be necessary to be presentable. You will be able to resume normal activity about two weeks after your intervention.

The results:

A lifting brings a great freshness to the face. The results are clear and their duration is on average ten years.
