Restore volume and Rejuvenate the mid-face and jawline.
Dr Ivo Gwanmesia performs the Deep Plane facelift with the addition of a tumescent solution, a technique that enhances safety, comfort and recovery.
- Tumescent solution is injected into the SMAS layer to reduce swelling during and after surgery, improve visibility of the tissue planes and minimise the risk of facial nerve injury.
- Incisions are meticulously concealed inside the ear canal and extend into the hairline at the back of the head.
- The Deep Plane technique lifts and repositions deeper tissues to restore youthful cheeks, reshape the jawline and smooth the neck contours.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What makes Deep Plane Facelift with Tumescence different from a standard facelift?
It works at a deeper level, repositioning the SMAS while using tumescent solution to improve visibility, reduce swelling and support safer dissection.
When can I return to work?
Many patients return to desk-based work after around two weeks, although recovery varies.
How long does the procedure take?
Typically around three to four hours, depending on the extent of surgery and complementary procedures.
Will I have visible scars?
Incisions are positioned inside the ear canal and along the hairline to conceal scars as much as possible.
How long do results last?
Results typically last around ten years or longer, although natural ageing continues.
