After deep dissection beneath the SMAS layer (fascia) and releasing the retaining ligaments,
the skin layer is also separated, allowing the SMAS layer to be lifted vertically,
while the skin layer is lifted diagonally along the natural skin lines, each in its appropriate direction.
This is a lifting procedure that treats each layer separately.

By lifting the SMAS layer, sagging volume is repositioned,
and excess loose skin is then removed to create a more defined,
effective lifting result.
At HERSHE, Dual Plane Facelift extends treatment to sagging along the jawline and neck,
with an expanded dissection area to achieve balanced improvement,
providing a comprehensive facelift procedure.

PERSONALIZED SOLUTION

Solutions tailored to each individual facial shape

CASE 1

Dual Plane Facelift

Sagging of the mid and lower face can result from aging of the skin, fat, and
the SMAS layer (fascia) connected to the muscles, descent of cheek volume, and reduced skin elasticity.
Dual Plane Facelift separates the tissue layers on two planes to reposition volume and
improve skin firmness at the same time, addressing these underlying causes
in a comprehensive manner.

CASE 2

Dual Plane Facelift + Double Chin Muscle Tightening

This is a combined anti-aging surgery that performs Dual Plane Facelift together with double chin muscle tightening.
When facial sagging extends below the jawline and into the neck,
the facelift improves sagging of the midface, lower face, and neck,
while double chin muscle tightening refines the muscles and contour beneath the chin for a
more defined jawline and face-to-neck line.

DETAIL & PRECISION

HERSHE Plastic Surgery Dual Plane Facelift is different

Personalized 1:1 Consultation

Personalized 1:1 Consultation

Because every individual has a different facial structure and different concerns, a personalized consultation is essential. Our medical team, with extensive experience in lifting and anti-aging surgery, carefully analyzes the areas of concern, facial structure, and skin condition to establish an appropriate surgical plan.

Based on a systematic diagnosis that considers each individual's facial characteristics, HERSHE Plastic Surgery recommends only the procedures necessary to achieve balanced and natural-looking results.

Key Points of HERSHE Dual Plane Facelift

Key Points of HERSHE Dual Plane Facelift

Dual Plane Facelift is a procedure that involves deep dissection beneath the SMAS layer, releasing the retaining ligaments, and separating the skin layer from the SMAS layer so that each layer can be lifted independently.
The SMAS layer is lifted vertically and secured to reposition sagging volume, while loose skin is pulled along the natural skin lines and excess skin is removed to improve firmness. During Dual Plane Facelift, HERSHE also addresses sagging beneath the jawline and in the neck area by including a neck lift for a comprehensive lifting effect. HERSHE facelift procedures are broadly divided into Deep Plane and Dual Plane techniques.
• Deep Plane technique: the SMAS layer (fascia) is dissected together with the skin layer
• Dual Plane technique: the SMAS layer is dissected while the skin layer is also separately dissected
Therefore, Dual Plane Facelift allows the SMAS and skin layers to be lifted independently, preserving natural volume while aiming for a more three-dimensional contour.

Three-Dimensional Volume Repositioning & Natural Skin Lifting

By lifting and securing the sagging SMAS volume vertically, facial volume is repositioned. The skin layer is then pulled in the direction of the natural skin lines, and excess skin is removed for a more natural and firmer result.

Sufficient Mobility Through Deep Retaining
Ligament Release

To sufficiently mobilize the sagging SMAS layer and facial tissues, it is important to release the retaining ligaments that hold the SMAS in place. HERSHE carefully releases the necessary retaining ligaments to pursue effective and stable results.

3D Design Model Image

Expanded Lifting Range Through Wider Dissection

Adequate dissection is important to reposition sagging tissues in the midface, including the nasolabial and mouth areas. HERSHE Dual Plane Facelift expands the lifting target through sufficient dissection, aiming for comprehensive improvement of multiple areas within a single surgery.

This surgery may help improve multiple areas, including sagging cheeks, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, deep cheek sagging, the jawline, and neck sagging.

3D Design Model Image

A Lift Designed for Both the Face and Neck

The lower face and neck are structurally connected and often age together. HERSHE Dual Plane Facelift expands the dissection range to include a neck lift, improving the jawline and neck line together. By treating connected areas together, it aims for a more harmonious contour.

Dual Plane Facelift Procedure

Dual Plane Facelift is a lifting surgery performed under sedation anesthesia,
releasing the retaining ligaments and separately dissecting and lifting the SMAS and skin layers to address sagging facial volume,
skin firmness, and neck sagging comprehensively.
The goal is to reposition sagging tissues, tighten and remove excess loose skin, and create a natural, three-dimensional facial contour.

  • Q.What areas can Dual Plane Facelift improve?

  • A.Dual Plane Facelift is effective for improving sagging of the midface, lower face, and neck. After releasing the retaining ligaments, the SMAS and skin layers are lifted separately to reposition sagging tissues and volume. It may also help improve nasolabial folds, marionette lines, the jawline, and neck wrinkles.

  • Q.Is Dual Plane Facelift painful?

  • A.The surgery is performed under sedation anesthesia, so pain is generally not felt during the procedure. After surgery, some patients may experience tightness, soreness, or temporary discomfort, which usually improves gradually over time.

  • Q.When are the sutures removed after Dual Plane Facelift?

  • A.A follow-up visit is scheduled the day after surgery to check your condition. Sutures are generally removed in stages on days 6, 8, and 10. An additional follow-up visit is recommended about one month later to check recovery progress.

  • Q.Will there be scars after Dual Plane Facelift?

  • A.The incision begins around the temple area and continues along the front and back of the ear. Scars gradually fade during the healing process and are generally much less noticeable around six months after surgery. However, scar healing can vary depending on skin type, melanin levels, individual constitution, and recovery speed, and in some cases may take longer than six months. If a scar remains noticeable, treatments such as scar laser therapy may be considered depending on its condition.

  • Q.Do I need to wear a facial compression band after Dual Plane Facelift?

  • A.Wearing a facial compression band for about two weeks is generally recommended. Dressing care is provided after surgery, and instructions on how to wear the compression band will be given as needed. During the first week, wearing it even when going out may be helpful; afterward, the wearing time can be adjusted depending on your recovery.

  • Q.How long is the recovery period after Dual Plane Facelift?

  • A. Recovery varies by individual, but most patients can generally return to daily activities after about 2–3 weeks. Swelling and bruising may be most noticeable during the first 1–2 weeks after surgery. Major swelling gradually subsides, while it may take several months for the results to settle into a more natural appearance.

  • Q.When can I return to daily activities after Dual Plane Facelift?

  • A. Light daily activities are generally possible within a few days after surgery, but exercise and strenuous activity are recommended only after about 3–4 weeks. The exact timing should follow your medical team's guidance based on your recovery progress.

  • Q.Are there any side effects after Dual Plane Facelift?

  • A. Common temporary effects may include swelling, bruising, tightness, and reduced sensation, most of which gradually improve during recovery. Depending on the individual, complications such as inflammation, bleeding, or scarring may occur, so it is important to follow postoperative precautions and scheduled follow-up visits. The HERSHE Plastic Surgery medical team works to reduce the risk of complications through safe surgical care and systematic postoperative management.
