Stunning Transformations

If you’re seeing signs of aging like sagging skin, jowls, or a softening jawline, a deep plane facelift in Houston with our team may be the solution you’ve been looking for. At Basu Aesthetics + Plastic Surgery, we specialize in the deep plane technique because it delivers long-lasting, natural-looking results—without the tight, overdone appearance people often worry about. By targeting deeper facial structures, this advanced approach lifts and repositions the foundational layers of your face and neck, creating youthful definition that truly lasts.

What to Expect

During Surgery

Your procedure will take place at our state-licensed, hospital-grade surgical facility, the Beleza Surgery Center. You’ll be under general anesthesia with a board-certified anesthesiologist present at all times. The deep plane technique allows us to gently lift the deeper tissues and reposition them into a more youthful location, all while keeping the skin attached naturally.

Your Recovery

While individual experiences vary, most people feel ready to return to desk work in 7–14 days and light exercise in about three weeks. Surprisingly, most of our patients manage discomfort with just Tylenol.

Swelling and bruising are typically minimal and resolve quickly with proper aftercare.

Your Results

Expect to look 10 to 20 years younger, without the telltale signs of having undergone surgery. Our goal is to enhance your natural beauty so you appear refreshed, more defined, and full of vitality. Your facial contours will appear smoother, your jawline more sculpted, and your overall appearance brighter and more harmonious. The deep plane technique ensures results that move and age naturally with you.

Results that Last

Look Younger, Naturally

We’re not just tightening your skin. The deep plane technique targets the deeper layers of your face, resulting in a refreshed and natural look without that pulled or “windblown” appearance.

Embrace Your Age, Defy the Signs

Because we’re treating deeper layers of the face, the deep plane face and neck lift helps you look 15-20 years younger.

The Face and Neck Lift That Blends In

With our advanced technique, you can expect a smoother recovery with minimal bruising. The incisions are discreet and heal rapidly, so you’ll look refreshed without anyone knowing.

A Beautiful Transformation, Without the Pain

Many people think facelifts are super painful, but they’re really not. 90-95% of our patients only need Tylenol.

"Before the surgery, I hated to look in the mirror. I looked older than I felt and tried very hard not be in any pictures. After surgery, I love the way I look. The surgery makes me look at least 10-15 years younger. It is fantastic. Now, I don’t hesitate to be in family pictures or look in the mirror."

"Thank you Dr. Basu and Staff! I am very pleased with the outcome of my surgery. I am especially happy with the professionalism, the attention to detail and the friendliness of the entire staff. I am 57 years of age and was in need of a neck lift, face lift and liposuction around the chin. The doctor and staff listened to my needs and concerns and the outcome is better than I expected. Also, I had very little downtime. I was amazed how quickly I healed and recovered from the surgery."

Deep Plane Facelift Frequently Asked Questions

How does a deep plane facelift differ from a traditional facelift?

At Basu Aesthetics + Plastic Surgery, our deep plane facelift lifts the deeper facial layers, including the SMAS and connective ligaments, as a unified unit. This approach allows for better mid-face volume, a sharper jawline, and longer-lasting results than facelifts that only pull or tighten skin.

Am I a good candidate for a deep plane face and neck lift?

Good candidates for deep plane face and neck lift are men or women experiencing sagging cheeks, jowls, or a softening jawline and neck who desire a natural, refreshed look. Age is less important than anatomy and individual goals. We’ll evaluate your skin quality, facial structure, and health during your consultation at either our Houston and Cypress location.

Where are the incisions placed for the deep plane facelift and how visible are the scars?

Incisions are placed discreetly around the ears and sometimes into the hairline behind the ear. Because our technique lifts underlying structures rather than pulling skin tightly, there is less tension on the skin and scars tend to heal quickly and become nearly undetectable.

What is the typical recovery timeline after a deep plane facelift at Basu Aesthetics + Plastic Surgery?

Most patients feel comfortable returning to desk work in 7 to 14 days. Light exercise is usually safe around three weeks after surgery. Swelling and bruising are typically minimal and diminish rapidly with our after-care plan.

How long do results last following a deep plane facelift at our practice?

At our practice, deep plane facelift results can last 10 to 15 years or more, depending on individual factors such as skincare, sun protection, lifestyle, and whether complementary treatments are used.

Can the deep plane facelift be combined with other procedures?

Yes. At Basu Aesthetics + Plastic Surgery we often combine the deep plane facelift with neck lift, fat grafting to restore cheek volume, or eyelid surgery to achieve a balanced, comprehensive rejuvenation. Your surgeon will help design the ideal plan for your concerns.

What makes the team at Basu Aesthetics + Plastic Surgery especially qualified to perform deep plane facelifts?

Our surgeons, Dr. Bob Basu and Dr. Taylor DeBusk, have advanced training in facial anatomy and specialize in the deep plane technique. With our board certified anesthesiologist, we operate in our own state-licensed hospital-grade surgical facility and focus on natural-looking outcomes, not just tightening skin.
