CASE STUDY
DEEP PLANE FACELIFT
CASE OVERVIEW
Having trusted Dr. Anton for over twenty years, this patient chose him for multiple procedures that helped her maintain her natural beauty over time. When she noticed early signs of aging in her lower face and neck, she decided on a mini-lift at age 51. Her philosophy? “I believe in doing things before you need it,” she explains, prioritizing proactive care in her anti-aging approach.
Nine years later, she returned to Dr. Anton for a Deep Plane Mini-Lift refresh, determined to look and feel as radiant in her sixties as she did in her fifties. The results boosted her confidence, allowing her to move forward with a youthful appearance that matched her inner vitality. Her story reflects how a deep plane facelift can rejuvenate not just the face but also renew a woman’s self-confidence and beauty for years to come.
PATIENT PROFILE
AGE: 50
PRIMARY CONCERNS
After a mini-lift in her early 50s, this patient returned to Dr. Anton for a Deep Plane Mini-Lift to refresh her youthful look. A Deep Plane Mini-Lift targets sagging skin in the lower face and neck, lifting and repositioning deeper tissues for natural, long-lasting results. Thanks to her healthy lifestyle—eating well, exercising, and maintaining physical strength as an avid horseback rider—she experienced a quick recovery with minimal bruising or swelling. Now, her revitalized appearance reflects the vitality she feels, showcasing how a Deep Plane Mini-Lift can beautifully enhance both confidence and natural beauty.
CONSULTATION & ASSESSMENT
During a facelift consultation, Dr. Anton takes the time to understand each patient’s unique signs of aging to recommend the ideal facelift procedure. For a personalized experience, he may lift tissues in the lower and upper face, allowing patients to envision the potential outcome. To achieve total facial rejuvenation, additional options like blepharoplasty (eyelid lift), brow lift, lip lift, or laser treatments may be discussed. Since this patient had a previous facelift, Dr. Anton recommended a California Deep Plane Mini-Lift to target the sagging skin in her neck and lower face. As he tells all his patients, “You can have as many facelifts as you like. You just can’t have a bad one.”
“I want to look my best at every age, so I believe in doing something before I need it.”
TREATMENT PLAN
In a California Deep Plane Mini-Lift, Dr. Anton elevates the SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System)—a thick, fibrous tissue layer—to naturally lift and rejuvenate the face. By repositioning the SMAS without cutting the platysma muscle, this technique avoids creating a scar under the chin, preventing future sagging or a “witch’s chin” effect. The result is a long-lasting, youthful appearance. Additionally, scars are discreetly hidden around and behind the ears, ensuring minimal visibility. This advanced approach allows patients to enjoy natural, refined results without the common issues of traditional facelift procedures.
PATIENT RESULTS
HOW DID YOU FEEL AFTER YOUR DEEP PLANE FACELIFT?
Less than 24 hours post-procedure, this patient was thrilled with her California Deep Plane Mini-Lift results. With minimal swelling, no bruising, and zero pain, her recovery was smooth and easy. Thanks to her excellent health and active lifestyle, she experienced a fast recovery without complications. Within a few weeks, she was back to her busy social life, enjoying the benefits of her natural facelift. The rejuvenating effects of the lift continue to enhance her appearance, complementing her dedication to self-care and helping her age gracefully. Her experience highlights how a deep plane lift can provide beautiful, lasting results with minimal downtime.
