The Deep Plane Facelift is now established as the absolute benchmark in facial rejuvenation. This deep plane facelift technique, performed by highly specialized surgeons, offers remarkably natural results, far removed from the “pulled” look sometimes associated with traditional procedures.
Favored by public figures seeking discretion and excellence, this surgical approach revolutionizes the standards of celebrity facelifts and attracts discerning patients looking for lasting and harmonious solutions.
Dr. Bayol on La Matinale LCI
On Saturday, November 8, 2025, Dr. Jean-Charles Bayol was invited on La Matinale LCI to explain this technique, which is gaining increasing popularity. Through specific examples, including the spectacular transformations of celebrities like Kris Jenner and Lindsay Lohan, the surgeon explained the foundations of this revolutionary approach.
What is the Deep Plane Facelift?
The Deep Plane Facelift does not merely tighten the skin’s surface. This technique works deeply, on the fundamental anatomical structures of the face.
Unlike a traditional facelift that primarily works on the skin, the Deep Plane Facelift repositions all elements of the face:
- The skin
- Facial muscles
- Deep subcutaneous tissues
- Supporting structures
The objective? To restore these structures to their original position, as they were several years prior. The result obtained is thus infinitely more natural and harmonious.

Advantages of the Deep Plane Facelift
The growing success of this technique is explained by considerable benefits:
Natural and Harmonious Results
The face retains its mobility and expressiveness. No “mask effect” or frozen appearance.
Reduced Recovery Time
Contrary to popular belief, the recovery time is 15 to 20 days, compared to 6 to 12 weeks for a traditional facelift.
Exceptional Durability
The repositioning of deep structures ensures long-lasting results.
Global Rejuvenation
The Deep Plane Facelift consistently treats the entire mid and lower third of the face.
A Demanding Technique Reserved for Experts
While the Deep Plane Facelift has existed since the 90s, its practice has seen a real surge in popularity over the last three years. Why such a delay? This procedure requires a very high level of surgical expertise.
The technical complexity lies in the proximity of the facial nerve, a delicate structure located under the skin. Perfect mastery of anatomy and confirmed experience are essential to perform this procedure safely. It is precisely for this reason that not all surgeons offer this technique.
What is the Alternative to the Deep Plane Facelift?
For patients who do not wish for such a comprehensive procedure, several options exist:
The Mini Facelift
Less invasive, it is performed under local anesthesia and targets more limited areas of the face. Recovery is fast and results are visible, even if they remain less spectacular than with a Deep Plane Facelift.
Aesthetic Medicine
For those who prefer to avoid surgery, aesthetic medicine offers a range of solutions: hyaluronic acid injections, thread lifts, radiofrequency, or laser treatments. These techniques can delay the need for surgery or complement a facelift over time.
