Deep Plane Facelift vs Fillers
Surgery and injectables address different aspects of aging.
Different Problems, Different Tools
Fillers restore volume. A deep plane facelift repositions descended tissue. Many patients ultimately benefit from a combination, while others are well served by one approach alone.
When Fillers Alone Are Reasonable
Patients with primarily volume loss and minimal descent.
When Surgery Is Generally Needed
Patients with moderate-to-advanced midface descent, jowling, and neck laxity that fillers cannot lift.
