Deep Facelift

Comprehensive, Long-Lasting Facial Rejuvenation
The Deep Facelift is the most advanced and comprehensive facial rejuvenation surgery available today. Unlike traditional techniques that only lift skin, this procedure repositions the deeper structural layers of the face-correcting sagging cheeks, jowls, and deep folds for a truly natural, long-lasting result. At Zeal Plastic Surgery Clinic, Dr. Joe Baroud performs deep plane facelifts with exceptional precision, combining surgical mastery with aesthetic vision to restore youthful contours without visible tension or scarring.

  • This procedure is ideal for addressing:

    • Severe sagging in the cheeks and jawline
    • Deep nasolabial folds (smile lines)
    • Jowls and blurred jawline definition
    • Loose neck skin (often combined with neck lift)
    • Flattened midface and volume descent

  • You may benefit from a deep facelift if you:

    • Are typically between 45–70 years old
    • Have moderate to severe facial aging
    • Desire comprehensive, long-lasting facial lifting
    • Are healthy and do not smoke
    • Want natural results without an “overdone” look
Zeal Approach to Deep Facelifting

At Zeal Plastic Surgery Clinic, Dr. Joe Baroud uses a true deep-plane technique, going beneath the SMAS layer to reposition the entire facial structure. This method releases key retaining ligaments to allow full mobilization of the midface and jowl area. The result is a youthful lift without pulling or skin tightness.

For enhanced outcomes, the deep facelift may be combined with: Neck lift (to address platysma bands and loose skin), Fat grafting (to restore natural volume), Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), CO2 laser or Morpheus8 (for skin texture)

  • Results & Longevity
    Results become visible within 2–4 weeks and continue to refine over 3 months.
    A deep facelift can last 10–15 years or more, with slower aging thereafter. Because the underlying structure is repositioned, results look natural, youthful, and long-lasting—not tight or artificial.
