How long does a deep-plane facelift take?
A deep-plane facelift typically takes 3–4 hours, depending on the extent of work (face, neck, jowls).
How long will my results last?
Most patients experience improvements that persist for 10 to 15 years, thanks to the deeper repositioning of facial structures
Is there a higher risk of complications?
While the surgery is technically more complex, studies suggest its safety profile is comparable to SMAS facelifts.
What kind of anaesthetic is used?
At Signature Clinic, we frequently perform facelifts under local anaesthetic, reducing systemic risk and allowing faster recovery.
What will recovery look like?
You can expect swelling and bruising for the first week, with gradual settling over several months. We provide detailed aftercare and scar-management advice.
