ENHANCED DEEP PLANE FACELIFT BEFORE & AFTERS
ABOUT ENHANCED DEEP PLANE FACELIFT
If you’re seeking the pinnacle of facial rejuvenation in Newport Beach, look no further than Dr. Anton’s Signature Enhanced Deep Plane Facelift. As a board-certified plastic surgeon with advanced facial fellowship training, Dr. Anton has redefined the art of facial rejuvenation, specializing in a sophisticated technique that delivers natural-looking results while preserving the face’s natural structure.
Why Choose the Enhanced Deep Plane Facelift?
This cutting-edge procedure goes beyond traditional facelift methods, offering a comprehensive solution to aging skin and sagging tissues. Performed under general anesthesia at our state-of-the-art Newport Beach outpatient facility, the Enhanced Deep Plane Facelift restores a youthful and refreshed appearance by addressing both the skin and deeper layers of facial tissue.
For patients seeking a more complete facial rejuvenation, the Enhanced Deep Plane Facelift can be combined with other complementary procedures, such as brow lifts, lip lifts, or eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty). This combination approach ensures balanced, results for a fully rejuvenated, natural appearance.
Key Features of the Procedure:
- Dual Plane, Triple Layered Approach: This technique repositions the superficial (skin) layer and the deeper SMAS (superficial muscular aponeurotic system) layer. The SMAS provides the foundation for the lift, ensuring tension is held by the deeper tissue, while the skin is gently re-draped for a smooth, natural finish.
- Optimal Natural Results: Unlike traditional methods that cut the underlying muscle layer (platysma), Dr. Anton’s technique leaves it intact. This approach avoids the visible scarring and unnatural results often associated with older facelift methods, such as the “witch’s chin” or downward-pulled scars.
- Comprehensive Facial Rejuvenation: Includes NeoGen advanced plasma technology to remodel the underlying architecture of the dermis, improving improve fine lines, wrinkles, pore size, and uneven skin tone.

ENHANCED DEEP PLANE TECHNIQUE
Dr. Mark Anton’s signature facelift procedure offers a comprehensive solution for addressing sagging tissues, fine lines, and wrinkles across the face and neck. This specialized approach ensures that patients enjoy a youthful, refreshed appearance without the “overdone” look often associated with traditional facelifts.
Step 1: Repositioning the SMAS for Natural Lift
Dr. Anton begins by repositioning the SMAS (Submuscular Aponeurotic System), a thick, fibrous layer of tissue beneath the skin. By dissecting and lifting the SMAS and anchoring it securely behind the ear, he tightens the neck, lower and mid-face areas. This advanced technique places the tension on the SMAS rather than the skin, resulting in a smooth, natural look without the risk of tightness or distortion. To refine the upper face, he may remove a small amount of lower eyelid skin or use a CO2 laser resurfacing to prevent a windswept appearance.
Step 2: Contouring for Enhanced Facial Harmony
Dr. Anton’s technique addresses excess fat deposits that can accumulate beneath the chin, along the jawline, and around the nasolabial folds. Using Liposculpture, he removes unwanted fat in these areas to enhance facial contours. Harvested fat is often carefully transferred to hollow areas like the cheeks, temples, lips, and marionette lines, restoring volume and achieving a balanced, symmetrical look. Additionally, the fibro-fatty layer situated between the skin and SMAS is lifted and secured to optimize facial volume and balance.
Step 3: Camouflaging Incisions for Minimal Scarring
Once the SMAS has been lifted and secured, Dr. Anton re-drapes, trims, and meticulously sutures the skin around and behind the ears to ensure scars remain well-camouflaged. This technique allows patients to enjoy minimal visible scarring while making it possible to wear hair up or short without concern.
Step 4: Skin Enhancement for a Refined Finish
To enhance the results of his signature facelift, Dr. Anton incorporates NeoGen, a state-of-the-art skin rejuvenation treatment that is safe for all skin types. This advanced plasma technology improves skin texture and tone while enhancing the fibro-fatty layer, adding natural volume for a more youthful appearance.

SIGNATURE PROCEDURE, TOTAL REJUVENATION
Our signature procedures seamlessly blend surgical techniques, developed and exclusively performed by Dr. Mark Anton, with the latest innovations in both non-surgical and surgical rejuvenation.
Why?
Because each complexity of the face and body requires meticulous attention. Our approach takes the best of each modality to deliver the most beautiful, natural result possible.
- Fat Transfer: This procedure involves transferring fat to areas where volume has been lost, such as the triangles of the chin and cheeks. This adds a natural fullness and youthful contour to the face.
- Lower Eyelid Skin Pinch: To avoid the “windblown” look often associated with facelifts, a small pinch of excess skin is removed from the lower eyelids. This allows the skin to lay naturally and ensures a smooth, rejuvenated appearance. This does not replace a lower blepharoplasty, but one can be added if needed.
- Cheek Tuck: This technique highlights the projection of the cheekbones, creating a more defined and aesthetically pleasing facial structure.
- NeoGen Skin Rejuvenation: this state of the art non-ablative plasma technology produces three types of collagen for the most advanced, regenerative skin treatment. Improving the quality of your skin enhances and helps maintain your surgical results for years to come.

CONSULTATION, PREPARATION & PROCEDURE
What to Expect from a Facelift Consultation
When you schedule a consultation with Dr. Mark Anton, a board-certified plastic surgeon and facelift specialist, he will conduct a thorough evaluation of your facial structure and listen carefully to your aesthetic goals. During the consultation, he will discuss his advanced techniques, including why preserving the platysma (the thin muscle layer beneath the skin) is crucial for achieving natural, long-lasting facelift results. With Dr. Anton’s expertise, you can expect a facelift experience that not only refreshes your appearance but also maintains the integrity of your facial features, allowing you to age gracefully on your terms
Preparing for Your Enhanced Deep Plane Facelift
To ensure a safe and successful procedure, our Clinical Coordinator provides patients with clear pre-operative instructions. Preparation involves avoiding specific medications or supplements that increase bleeding risk or interfere with anesthesia. For optimal healing, Dr. Anton advises patients to quit smoking and limit alcohol consumption leading up to the surgery. During your pre-op appointment, the Clinical Coordinators reviews consents, and required lab work.
Your Enhanced Deep Plane Facelift Procedure
Dr. Anton performs the Enhanced Deep Plane Facelift under general anesthesia at an outpatient facility. He begins by making carefully placed incisions, typically hidden in the hairline, around and behind the ears. He then lifts and repositions the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) to achieve a comprehensive, natural-looking result. To further refine facial contours, he lifts and sutures the fibro-fatty layer, creating a more youthful appearance. If necessary, he removes excess fat and strategically adds fat grafts to areas such as the cheeks, temples, or jawline to restore volume and balance.
After completing the lift, Dr. Anton treats fine lines, wrinkles, and crepe skin using NeoGen non-ablative plasma technology, which rebuilds the skin’s underlying architecture. This advanced treatment enhances skin texture, smooths imperfections, and creates a firmer, more youthful surface.
Additional Procedures for Comprehensive Rejuvenation
The Enhanced Deep Plane Facelift generally takes 4-5 hours to complete. For patients seeking more comprehensive rejuvenation, Dr. Anton can combine the procedure with other complementary surgeries, such as a brow lift, lip lift, or eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty). Additional procedures require extra time in surgery but provide a full-face enhancement for optimal results.
ENHANCED DEEP PLANE FACELIFT RECOVERY
Once the Enhanced Deep Plane Facelift procedure is completed, you will be closely monitored in the recovery area. The surgical team will provide instructions for post-operative care, including how to clean and care for your incisions.
Once the Enhanced Deep Plane Facelift procedure is completed, you will be closely monitored in the recovery area. Patients spend a night in one of Newport Beach’s quality after care facilities. A caregiver picks you up at the facility and returns you to our offices the next day for your first post-op appointment.
After surgery your head will be wrapped and two drains placed behind your ears. The next morning the drains are removed and the head wrap replaced with a neck compression band that is to be worn 24/7 for the first week. Aftercare instructions will be provided, including how to clean and care for your incisions, when to shower, and how to administer medications. It is important to follow these instructions carefully to ensure proper healing and minimize the risk of complications.
You will experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort at the start of the recovery process that peaks during the days after surgery. This is normal and can be managed with prescribed pain medication and cold compresses. It is recommended to keep your head elevated and avoid any activities that raise your heart rate or increase blood pressure for the first week or two following the surgery. Sutures are removed 7-10 days after surgery.
Most patients require about two weeks of recovery time before returning to their normal daily routine. However, it is important to note that everyone’s recovery timeline can vary. It is essential to give your body sufficient time to heal and avoid rushing back to your regular activities too soon. Our Clinical Coordinator surgeon will provide you with specific aftercare instructions tailored to your individual needs.
During the recovery period, follow-up appointments will be scheduled with your surgeon to assess your progress and ensure proper healing. They will provide guidance on when it is safe to resume exercise, wearing makeup, and other activities that may have been restricted initially.
It is essential to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise, to support the healing process and maintain the results of your surgical facelift. Proper nutrition and hydration can help promote skin health and provide essential nutrients for tissue repair.
Enhanced Deep Plane Facelift Recovery Schedule
- Week 1: Sutures are removed from subtle incision locations
- Week 3: Bruising and swelling will be minimal, and you may use cover-up or foundational makeup. Many patients find that they can go back to work
- Weeks 4 – 6: You can resume exercise upon Dr. Anton’s approval
WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS?
After Enhanced Deep Plane facelift surgery, you can expect to see initial improvements in your appearance within the first few weeks as swelling and bruising begin to diminish. However, it is important to keep in mind that the final results may take several months to fully manifest.
During the initial healing phase, you may experience some tightness in the neck especially as your skin adjusts to its new position. This tightness should gradually subside as your tissues heal and settle into their new contour. As the swelling continues to diminish, you will begin to see the true aesthetic benefits of the enhanced deep plane facelift.
FINAL RESULTS
Over time, you will notice smoother, more youthful-looking skin, reduced sagging in the cheek, jowls and neck area, and a more defined jawline. The deep plane technique targets the underlying structures of the face, allowing for a more comprehensive correction compared to traditional facelift techniques. This means the beautiful, natural-looking results achieved from an enhanced deep plane facelift are longer-lasting.
Of course, the aging process never stops so to maintain your Enhanced Deep Plane facelift results we suggest monthly collagen building treatments like the ones available in our Beauty Bank.
