Real Facelift Testimonials
What is a Transformative Deep-plane Facelift?
A transformative deep-plane facelift is a classic plastic surgery that rejuvenates the facial tissues in the lower third of the face including the neck. The goal of the surgery is to correct signs of aging like sagging and loose skin, deep creases near the mouth and nose, jowls, and facial volume loss. Some people prefer only to address the gaing or laxity of the neck which can also be done.
Although many non-surgical procedures are available (like dermal fillers) to minimize some signs of aging or correct concerns like deep wrinkles and fine lines, no option can provide the same in-depth results as a transformative deep-plane facelift in both men and women.
After a rhytidectomy, you might look as much as a decade younger.

Are You a Candidate for a Transformative Deep-plane Facelift?
Determining if you’re a suitable candidate for rhytidectomy, or facelift surgery, depends on your personal health and aesthetic goals. There is no set minimum age for the procedure; candidacy is more about the specific signs of aging you exhibit and your expectations.
Key considerations include:
Signs of Aging
If you notice sagging skin on the lower part of your face, the development of jowls, or deep creases near your mouth, a transformative deep-plane facelift could be beneficial.
Personal Motivation
The surgery should be something you pursue for your own satisfaction, not to meet the expectations or desires of others.
Health Status
Being in good overall health is crucial. This includes not having conditions that could complicate surgery or recovery.
Lifestyle Factors
Non-smokers or those willing to quit smoking well in advance of the surgery—and maintain a smoke-free lifestyle post-surgery—are better candidates. Smoking can significantly impair both healing and the long-term results of the procedure.
Realistic Expectations
Understanding what the surgery can and cannot achieve will help ensure satisfaction with the outcomes.
Are There Different Types of Facelifts?
Several different types are available but Dr. Salloum is one of the few who employs the deep-plane facelift to give lasting, dramatic effect. These include: Mini facelift, Mid-face lift, and transformative deep-plane facelift.
Transformative Deep-plane Facelift
A transformative deep-plane facelift is a typical treatment option if all four characteristics of an aging face are present. In this procedure, the facial muscles are tightened and repositioned to the upper and back portions of the face. This removes excess skin, and the incisions are hidden in the contour of the ear, earlobe, and hairline. It is the most aggressive of all the facelift procedures and will require additional surgeries and recovery time.
Mini Facelift
If your primary concerns are loss of skin elasticity and a tired facial appearance, a mini-facelift can lift and tighten the skin with shorter recovery time and smaller incisions. Compared to a traditional facelift, a mini-facelift has limited or no work on the neck and is best suited for a younger patient.
Short Scar Facelift
A short scar facelift, or an Extended Minimal Access Cranial Suspension Lift (Extended MACS), is a less invasive version of a mini facelift. It lifts the skin vertically and leaves fewer scars. This cosmetic procedure is typically recommended for those with mild or moderate skin laxity and jowling.

Getting Prepared for a Transformative Deep-plane Facelift Procedure
- Medical Preparations: Dr. Salloum will provide specific instructions. Generally, you may need to stop taking certain prescription and OTC medications, such as ibuprofen and blood thinners, as well as certain vitamins or herbal supplements, a few days or weeks before your procedure.
- Transportation and Assistance: Arrange for someone to drive you to and from the surgical center in Miami Beach, FL, and stay with you for the first few days post-surgery.
- Home Preparation: Prepare your home for recovery with plenty of pillows and blankets on your bed or in a recliner. Stock your fridge and freezer with easy-to-prepare or “heat and eat” meals. Gather quiet activities to keep yourself entertained, such as books or a TV series.
- Reschedule Responsibilities: Adjust your schedule for hobbies and other responsibilities during your recovery period. Submit your time off request well in advance and arrange for someone to cover your work shifts.
What Occurs During a Transformative Deep-plane Facelift Surgery
Are there risks to a Transformative Deep-plane Facelift?
All surgeries have risks, but there are things you can do to minimize the risk of complications during and after surgery. Following any pre- and post-operative instructions your surgeon provides will help you enjoy a safe and easy recovery process and will improve your transformative deep-plane facelift results.
After a rhytidectomy, it’s common to have some side effects, particularly swelling and bruising.
These side effects will subside gradually. They are likely to be the most noticeable starting a few days after surgery. Several weeks or months later, they will have decreased considerably.
You might experience some discomfort or pain after surgery. Dr. Salloum can prescribe medication to help you manage the pain. Only take pain medication as directed and only as much as you’re prescribed.
- Duration: Typically lasts between one and two weeks.
- Home Rest: It’s recommended to stay at home during this time to minimize the risk of complications and promote healing. Avoid any strenuous activities that might strain your incisions.
- Light Activities: Engage in light activities such as short walks around your home to promote blood circulation. Avoid bending over or lifting heavy objects.
- Pain Management: Follow your surgeon’s instructions for managing pain, which may include prescribed medications. Avoid taking any non-prescribed medications without consulting your doctor.
- Day of Surgery: You will go home once the anesthesia has worn off. Make sure you have someone to drive you home and stay with you for at least the first 24 hours.
- Follow-Up Visit: The day after surgery, you will likely have a follow-up appointment with Dr. Salloum. During this visit:
- Dressing Change: The surgeon might change your dressing to ensure the incision area is clean and healing properly.
- Incision Inspection: Your incision will be inspected for any signs of infection or complications.
- Post-Op Instructions: You will receive additional instructions regarding diet, medication, and wound care. This may include avoiding certain foods, taking prescribed antibiotics, and applying specific ointments to the incision area.
- Questions: Dr. Salloum will answer any questions you may have about your recovery, activity restrictions, or expected progress.
- Hydration and Diet: Stay hydrated and follow any dietary recommendations provided by Dr. Salloum. Eating a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals can promote healing.
- Head Elevation: Keep your head elevated by sitting upright and sleeping on your back with your head propped up to reduce swelling. Using multiple pillows or a wedge pillow can help maintain this position comfortably.
- Ice Packs: Use ice packs intermittently to help minimize swelling or bruising. Apply ice for 15-20 minutes every hour, ensuring to wrap the ice pack in a cloth to prevent direct contact with your skin.
- Hygiene: Keep the incision area clean and dry. Follow your surgeon’s instructions for bathing and washing your face. Avoid submerging your face in water or exposing the incisions to direct sunlight.
- Follow Instructions: Adhere to all post-op instructions to ensure the best results from your transformative deep-plane facelift. Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments to monitor your healing progress.
- Entertainment: Prepare some quiet activities to keep yourself entertained, such as books, puzzles, or TV series. This will help you relax and avoid any physical exertion.

Frequently Asked Questions About Facelift
Does deep plane facelift hurt?
During a transformative deep-plane facelift, you’ll be given anesthesia so that you won’t feel anything. Usually, general anesthesia is used, but your surgeon might use a local anesthetic to numb the area, combined with a sedative to help you relax.
Will I have scars after facelift?
During the surgery, Dr. Salloum will make an incision, which will leave a scar. The location of the incision means that you’ll most likely be able to hide it within your hair. In some cases, the incisions are located behind the ears.
How long will I have to take off from work after facelift?
Initial recovery after a transformative deep-plane facelift usually takes anywhere from one to two weeks. You might feel ready to return to work after one week, or you might prefer to take a full two weeks off. When you’ll be ready to go back to work will depend on the type of work you do and how comfortable you are with your colleagues seeing you before you’re completely healed.
Will I be able to exercise after my facelift?
Although you can and should take short walks around the house starting a day or two after surgery, it’s best to avoid strenuous activities and major workouts during the first few weeks of recovery. Usually, people are ready to return to sports and other vigorous forms of exercise four to six weeks after a transformative deep-plane facelift.
What is the expected timeline for visible results following facelift surgery?
The visible results following a transformative deep-plane facelift will depend on the individual, but most people can expect to start seeing some improvement within 2-4 weeks. The full effects of the surgery may take several months or longer to become fully realized. It’s important to remember that everyone heals differently, so your timeline could vary from this.
Will my facelift results look natural?
Yes. Dr. Salloum is a board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in producing natural results after a transformative deep-plane facelift and other surgeries, including reconstruction surgery. He will follow the natural contours of your face to rejuvenate your appearance. You can feel confident that you’ll look youthful and refreshed, without looking “windblown” or artificial.
