Deep Plane Facelift
A Deep Plane Facelift is one of the most advanced facelift techniques available today, designed to lift and rejuvenate the deeper structures of the face for natural, long-lasting results. Unlike traditional facelifts that tighten only the skin, this method repositions the underlying facial muscles and connective tissues to restore youthful contours and movement.

About Deep Plane Facelift Surgery
A Deep Plane Facelift rejuvenates your appearance by lifting the deeper facial layers, including the SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) and connective tissues, instead of simply tightening the surface skin. This advanced approach allows your surgeon to reposition drooping cheeks, soften deep nasolabial folds, and restore youthful definition along the jawline and midface.
The result is a refreshed, natural look not the “pulled” appearance sometimes associated with traditional facelifts. Because the deeper facial layers are lifted as one unit, results tend to look smoother, move naturally, and last longer.
At Signature Clinic, every facelift is tailored to your facial anatomy and ageing pattern, ensuring a balanced, harmonious outcome that enhances, rather than changes, your natural features.

Deep Plane Facelift Procedure
The Deep Plane Facelift is performed under local anaesthesia for comfort. During the procedure:
- The surgeon makes discreet incisions around the ears and hairline.
- The deeper layers (SMAS and facial muscles) are carefully lifted and repositioned as a single unit.
- Excess skin is gently redraped without tension for a natural finish.
- The incisions are closed with fine sutures for minimal scarring.
This advanced approach ensures a smoother, more youthful contour of the midface, jawline, and neck, without the tight or artificial look.

"Dr Sherif Elamari and his team were amazing! He took lots of time to explain everything to me the morning of the procedure. The medical team were lovely throughout and the aftercare was great, I could call anytime I had a query. And my facelift looks great! The first 2 weeks were rough and you have to be able to wait out a period of looking strange. For such a reasonable price, i really wasn't expecting much, but 6 weeks later, I look great and nobody would be able to tell I've had it done."
"I visited Signature's Birmingham Clinic, and the entire team was really warm and welcoming when I arrived and checked in. Dr. Carlo Debbas is exceptionally talented and kind, and I am very pleased with my facelift results. Friends and family have complimented my skin and appearance on numerous occasions. My confidence has grown, and I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Carlos Debbas and Signature Clinic."
"I had a fantastic experience (full facelift). The entire process was explained right from the consultation, the surgery, the outcomes, costs, time off etc which made it easy to plan for the surgery."
