How painful is a deep plane facelift?

By Ramtin Kassir, M.D.

A deep plane facelift is a surgical procedure that involves lifting and repositioning the deeper layers of the face, including the muscles and fat. It is generally considered to be a more invasive procedure than some other types of facelifts, such as a minimally invasive or mid-facelift.

As with any surgical procedure, a deep plane facelift may be associated with some discomfort and pain. However, the level of pain experienced will vary from patient to patient and can depend on a number of factors, including the patient’s pain tolerance and the extent of the procedure.

Most patients experience some discomfort after a deep plane facelift, but this can typically be managed with pain medication prescribed by the surgeon. The pain and discomfort generally improve over the first few days after the procedure and can be further managed with over-the-counter pain medications and cold compresses.

It is important to discuss any concerns about pain with your surgeon before the procedure. They will be able to provide more detailed information about what to expect and can recommend ways to manage any discomfort after the surgery.
