The final result of facelift and anti-aging surgery is judged after the 6-month mark.
Although major swelling subsides a lot in the early recovery period after surgery, the maturation process of scar tissue continues for quite a long time. This is because the point at which that process is more or less completed is after 6 months.
- Deep Plane Facelift in a Woman in Her Mid-60s -
A Deep Plane facelift is a procedure that does not simply pull the skin, but lifts the SMAS and deeper layer structures together to fundamentally improve the causes of facial aging.
As a result, it can naturally and three-dimensionally improve nasolabial folds, sagging of the jawline, drooping of the midface, and the tired, older-looking impression of the face as a whole.

Progress at 6 months after surgery - A look close to the final result
Looking at the 6-month follow-up photos, the overall facial line is very stable, and you can see a smooth and natural lifting effect without any overly pulled appearance.
✔ No mismatch between skin and muscle
✔ No artificial “pulled” look
✔ Natural expression maintained even when making facial expressions
This can be seen as a result that clearly shows one of the greatest advantages of Deep Plane facelift.
- Scar at the facelift incision site -
One of the most notable aspects of this patient is that she continues to keep the short-cut hairstyle that exposes the ears.

The ear shape distortion, sideburn position changes, and exposure of scars around the ears that many people worry about after facelift surgery are barely noticeable.
✔ The shape of the ears is naturally preserved
✔ No sideburn distortion
✔ Scars are hidden very naturally
The fact that daily life is possible without changing the hairstyle
shows the patient’s high satisfaction with the surgical result.

The patient also provided a photo from when she was in her mid-40s, and comparing it with her current 6-month appearance, you can see that she has come closer to how she looked back then.
- The facial contour has become clear again, and the impression has been restored to a lively look without sagging. The natural change, as if time has been turned back, is impressive.
Not only making someone look younger, but also giving the feeling of returning to one’s original face is the core goal of a Deep Plane facelift.
