Facelift surgery has long been the gold standard for facial rejuvenation, helping patients achieve a more youthful and refreshed appearance. But like any field, facial plastic surgery evolves, bringing new techniques and priorities to the forefront. At The Spiegel Center, led by renowned facial plastic surgeons Dr. Jeffrey Spiegel and Dr. Jacob Tower, we are committed to staying at the cutting edge of these advancements, ensuring that our patients receive the best care and results. Here are the latest advancements in facelifts that everyone considering facial rejuvenation should know about.

Deep Plane Facelifts: The Gold Standard for Natural, Long-Lasting Results

One of the most talked-about developments in facelift surgery is the deep plane facelift (or extended deep plane facelift. Unlike traditional facelifts that primarily tighten the skin, the deep plane technique focuses on lifting and repositioning the deeper layers of facial tissue. This approach addresses sagging in the midface and jawline while maintaining a natural, refreshed look—no telltale signs of "having work done."

At The Spiegel Center, Dr. Spiegel and Dr. Tower have mastered this advanced technique to provide transformative yet undetectable results. Deep plane facelifts are particularly effective for patients seeking significant rejuvenation while avoiding the “windblown” appearance associated with outdated methods. It’s essential to choose a highly skilled, board-certified facial plastic surgeon for this procedure, as its complexity demands exceptional expertise.

Combination Procedures: Maximizing Results in a Single Surgery

Facial rejuvenation is no longer a one-size-fits-all approach. Patients increasingly opt for combination procedures to achieve comprehensive results. Pairing a facelift with complementary treatments like fat grafting, laser resurfacing, or dermal fillers can enhance overall outcomes.

For instance, fat grafting involves using the patient’s own fat to restore volume to areas like the cheeks or under the eyes. When combined with a facelift, this approach creates a balanced, youthful appearance by addressing both skin laxity and volume loss. Similarly, laser resurfacing can improve skin texture and tone, completing the rejuvenation process.

By offering these combination treatments, Dr. Spiegel and Dr. Tower ensure that each patient’s unique needs are met with a customized plan.

Focus on Natural, Undetectable Enhancements

The modern facelift is all about subtlety. Patients today want to look like the best version of themselves, not a drastically different person. This emphasis on natural results has shaped the techniques we use and the conversations we have with our patients.

At The Spiegel Center, Dr. Spiegel and Dr. Tower take pride in crafting personalized treatment plans that enhance your features while keeping the results beautifully undetectable. This philosophy not only guides our surgical approach but also resonates with patients who value authenticity and individuality.

Skin-Tightening Technologies as Surgery Enhancers

While surgery remains the most effective way to address significant facial aging, advanced technologies like FaceTite and Embrace (FaceTite with Morpheus8) have become invaluable adjuncts. FaceTite uses radiofrequency energy to tighten skin and contour small, delicate areas. When used alongside facelift surgery, it can refine results and target areas that are challenging to address with surgery alone.

FaceTite’s precision and ability to stimulate collagen make it an excellent option for enhancing the jawline, neck, and other areas. This combination approach ensures that every detail is meticulously refined for a harmonious, youthful appearance.

The Rise of Personalized Facial Rejuvenation Plans

Gone are the days of cookie-cutter facelifts. Today, patients demand highly personalized care, and at The Spiegel Center, Dr. Spiegel and Dr. Tower deliver just that. A thorough consultation allows us to understand your goals, assess your facial anatomy, and create a tailored plan that aligns with your vision.

Whether it’s choosing the right facelift technique, integrating complementary treatments, or planning for long-term maintenance, personalization ensures that your results feel uniquely yours. Our expertise and commitment to patient-centered care set us apart, making the journey as rewarding as the outcome.

Choosing the Right Surgeon: Why It Matters

With the growing popularity of advanced facelift techniques, it’s more important than ever to choose the right surgeon. Not all practitioners have the training or experience required to perform procedures like the deep plane facelift or combine surgical and non-surgical treatments seamlessly.

At The Spiegel Center, Dr. Spiegel and Dr. Tower are double board-certified facial plastic surgeons with years of experience and a proven track record of delivering exceptional results. We pride ourselves on providing the best results and the highest quality experience in the world.
