What Is a Deep Plane Facelift?
Unlike traditional facelifts that focus on superficial tissue, a deep plane facelift targets the underlying support system of your face: the SMAS-platysma complex. By releasing and repositioning these deeper layers, the procedure restores youthful contours in a way that looks completely natural.
This advanced technique lifts the midface, smooths nasolabial folds, refines the jawline, and restores cheek volume without creating a pulled or overdone look. It addresses the deeper causes of facial aging rather than just the surface signs, delivering results that age gracefully with you.
Deep Plane Facelift Before & After
Why Choose Omni for Your Deep Plane Facelift?
Choosing a facelift is a deeply personal decision, and who performs it matters just as much as the technique itself. Here’s why patients across Minneapolis–St. Paul trust Omni Cosmetic and Dr. Mitchell Hagen for this transformative procedure:
Fellowship-Trained Facial Specialist
Dr. Mitchell Hagen is a fellowship-trained facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon who focuses exclusively on facial procedures. His advanced training at the University of Minnesota and a competitive New York fellowship refined his expertise in deep plane techniques.
Precision With Natural Results
By working in the deeper facial layers, Dr. Hagen restores youthful volume and lift without creating a pulled or “worked-on” look. Every plan is tailored to highlight your natural features and proportions.
Private, Supportive Environment
From your first consultation through recovery, our team prioritizes comfort and discretion. Omni Cosmetic’s fully accredited surgical facility ensures both safety and peace of mind.
Comprehensive Rejuvenation Options
Many patients also choose to combine their deep plane facelift with a neck lift, eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), brow lift, or lip lift for a more comprehensive refresh. Dr. Hagen creates cohesive results that refresh your entire appearance in a single, streamlined recovery.
Trusted Across the Twin Cities
Patients from Wayzata, St. Cloud, Minneapolis, and St. Paul choose Omni Cosmetic for our blend of surgical artistry, advanced training, and compassionate care.
Benefits of a Deep Plane Facelift
Our patients often say they still feel vibrant and energetic, but their appearance doesn't reflect it. The deep plane facelift is ideal for those who want to:
Look younger without looking like they've had work done
Address sagging cheeks, jowls, or loose skin along the jawline and neck
Reclaim volume and contour without relying solely on dermal fillers
Enjoy long-lasting results that evolve naturally over time
Because the deeper structures of the face are repositioned, the outcome is more stable and balanced than older facelift techniques, which focus primarily on skin tightening. Most patients enjoy their results for 10 years or more.
Is a Deep Plane Facelift Right for You?
ACTUAL PATIENTYou may be a good candidate for a deep plane facelift if you:
Are in good overall health
Have moderate to advanced mid-to-lower facial aging, such as sagging or deep lines
Prefer a natural-looking, long-lasting result
Are a non-smoker or willing to stop smoking before and after surgery
While many people seek a deep plane facelift in their 40s, 50s, or 60s, your age is less important than your anatomy and goals. During your consultation, Dr. Hagen will assess your facial structure, skin quality, and areas of concern to create a plan tailored specifically for you.

What To Expect From the Procedure
Deep plane facelift surgery is performed in Omni Cosmetic's fully accredited surgical facility. The procedure usually lasts several hours, depending on your personalized plan. Here's what you can expect:
Release of key facial ligaments to lift and reposition deep tissue
Preservation of facial blood supply to support optimal healing
Incisions discreetly placed within natural contours around the ears and in the hairline for minimal visible scarring
Gentle closure techniques that allow scars to fade into fine lines
Dr. Hagen often uses facial imaging during your consultation to help visualize potential results and guide surgical planning.
Recovery & Results
Although it's one of the most thorough facelift techniques, the deep plane approach often results in less bruising and swelling than expected, thanks to its precision and respect for natural tissue planes.
A typical recovery timeline includes:
Week 1: Swelling and bruising are at their peak. You'll need to rest and follow your surgeon's aftercare instructions closely.
Weeks 2 to 3: Most discomfort subsides, and many patients feel comfortable returning to remote work or light activity.
Weeks 4 to 6: Swelling continues to resolve, and your new contours become more defined.
Months 3 to 6: Final results are established as tissues settle and scars soften.
Dr. Hagen uses multimodal pain control, including long-acting local anesthetics, to support a comfortable recovery experience. You'll also be supported by our dedicated team every step of the way.
