— DR. MARK ANTON, NEWPORT BEACH PLASTIC SURGEON
At AestheticsMD in Newport Beach, CA, we understand that aging can impact how you look and feel. That's why we offer the Deep Plane Facelift in Newport Beach, a specialized procedure designed to address deep-tissue aging signs like wrinkles, sagging, and volume loss to restore a youthful appearance. Under the expert care of Dr. Mark Anton, a board-certified plastic surgeon – with specialized fellowship training in facial cosmetic and reconstructive surgery and voted Best Facelift Doctor in Los Angeles - you can trust that you're in capable hands. Located in the heart of Newport Beach, our practice provides a serene and welcoming environment where you can embark on your journey to renewed confidence and youthful beauty.
A true Deep Plane Facelift requires advanced surgical skills and a more in-depth knowledge of facial anatomy than even plastic surgery training provides. Dr. Anton’s Facial Fellowship training allows him to comfortably operate in the facial deep plane where many other surgeons are not comfortable due to increased risks associated with the facial nerve.
A Deep Plane Facelift undermines the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) and then lifts the SMAS to reposition it behind and around the ear. The SMAS is a thick, fibrous tissue that creates a better lift than other facelifts, which rely primarily on the skin to achieve the lift. This results in a more comprehensive correction of aging signs with more natural results.
A SMAS facelift is typically a plication of the SMAS without undermining it, or lifting it. The SMAS is overlapped and sutured to itself into place. A Deep Plane Facelift undermines the SMAS from just below the zygomatic arch (cheekbone), above the jawline to near the corners of the mouth, and down below and along the jawline to below the neck. The nature of the SMAS allows it to hold a lot of tension for a more natural, more lifted, and longer-lasting facelift result. Dr. Anton’s Newport Beach Deep Plane Facelift procedures do not require a traditional platysmaplasty, which leaves a scar under the chin that can later pull downward, resulting in a “witches chin.” Instead, he performs an extensive lateral platysmaplasty which minimizes the possible recurrence of midline neck bands from the midline platysma muscle or scar bands from a medial platysmaplasty. While both the Deep Plane Facelift and SMAS Facelift aim to rejuvenate the face, the Deep Plane Facelift can bring about more natural and lasting results by lifting and repositioning the SMAS behind and around the ears. The SMAS is secured properly and sutured into position artistically to minimize the scars. Unlike the SMAS facelift, the Deep Plane technique offers longer-lasting results and minimal scarring.

During the procedure, general anesthesia is used to ensure safety and comfort. The surgery involves strategic incisions placed in the area of the ears, allowing access to the underlying facial tissues. Dr. Anton meticulously lifts and repositions the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS), addressing sagging skin and deep tissue laxity. Excess skin is trimmed, and fine sutures are used to close the incisions. The entire procedure typically lasts four to five hours, culminating in natural-looking, rejuvenated results.
After their Deep Plane Facelift Newport Beach patients should see initial results within a few weeks, with optimal outcomes becoming apparent as swelling subsides over several months. During the recovery phase, patients may experience bruising, swelling, and mild discomfort, though these can be easily managed using prescribed medications and a cold compress. Patients are advised to avoid rigorous activities and heavy lifting for at least two weeks to aid in the healing process.
Dr. Anton provides detailed post-operative instructions, including proper wound care to minimize scarring and promote optimal healing. Patients should protect their incisions from direct sun exposure (unless otherwise instructed) and follow a skincare regimen recommended by Dr. Anton to maintain their results. Regular follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor progress and address any concerns, ensuring long-lasting satisfaction.
