By addressing the underlying structural causes of facial aging, deep plane facelift surgery delivers natural-looking, long-lasting rejuvenation. Patients from Denver, Cherry Creek, Colorado, and beyond seek Dr. Raval’s expertise for refined results that restore facial harmony without an overly tight or pulled appearance.
A deep plane facelift is an advanced surgical technique that lifts and repositions the deeper facial structures, including the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system). This layer supports the cheeks and jawline and is significantly affected by the aging process.
Rather than separating the skin from deeper tissues, the deep plane technique:
By using this approach, Dr. Raval can reposition facial structures more naturally and restore youthful contours in the midface, jawline, and neck. By addressing deeper structural layers, deep plane facelift surgery produces smoother facial contours while maintaining natural movement and expression. In other words, you’ll look like a more refreshed version of yourself.
Patients who choose a deep plane facelift often want more comprehensive facial rejuvenation than nonsurgical treatments or limited surgical techniques can provide.
At Raval Facial Aesthetics, typical deep plane facelift candidates:
Additionally, candidates must be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about their surgical results.
During your consultation, Dr. Raval evaluates facial anatomy, skin quality, and structural support to determine whether a deep plane facelift will best achieve your goals. Depending on your needs, he may recommend combining a deep plane facelift with blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), an endoscopic brow lift, or other complementary procedures to enhance your results.
The primary difference between a deep plane facelift and traditional facelift lies in how the deeper facial layers are lifted.
Traditional facelifts often reposition the SMAS layer but may leave deeper facial ligaments intact. A deep plane facelift releases these ligaments and lifts the skin and SMAS together as a single unit, allowing for more complete and seamless repositioning of the cheeks and jawline.
This approach provides:
Dr. Raval also uses deep plane techniques during revision facelift surgery, enabling him to address structural changes and refine results from prior procedures.

Pick Your PlanDr. Raval advises patients to stop smoking and refrain from taking GLP-1 medications at least 2 weeks before surgery. Patients should also stop taking aspirin and avoid alcohol for at least 1 week before surgery and follow all preoperative guidance closely.
Recovery after facelift surgery follows a gradual progression as swelling resolves and facial contours refine.
Deep plane facelift results are long-lasting, though the face will continue to age naturally over time.
At Raval Facial Aesthetics, postoperative care is intentionally comprehensive and includes:
This proactive approach helps enhance your comfort, optimize recovery, and protect long-term structural results.
The cost of a deep plane facelift at our Denver practice varies depending on several factors, including whether additional treatments are performed at the same time. Because we customize each surgical plan, exact pricing is provided during your personal consultation.
No, facelift incisions are carefully placed around the natural contours of the ear and hairline so that scars are typically well concealed. As healing progresses, most scars fade significantly and are difficult to notice. Dr. Raval’s postoperative protocols further minimize visible scarring.
Deep plane facelift results typically last 10 years or longer. Because the technique repositions deeper facial structures rather than simply tightening the skin, results are durable. While the face continues to age naturally, many patients enjoy long-lasting rejuvenation.
