Why a Deep Plane Facelift?
Experience the Deep Plane Facelift difference
Not all faces are created equal, and neither are facelifts
Compare with other treatments
While the best way to find out the most appropriate procedure or procedures for you is to discuss your concerns with an experienced, qualified facial cosmetic surgeon, it may help to associate each facial procedure with a certain area of ageing:
Deep Plane Facelift
The Deep Plane Facelift differs from a traditional facelift in that the surgeon operates ono the supportive layer of the face. This layer is below the SMAS (superficial muscular aponeurotic system) layer, where most facelifts target.
With a SMAS facelift, patients’ results don’t last as long because of the tightly pulled skin that gives the patient an ‘operated’ look.
Instead, by operating under the SMAS layer, patients get longer lasting change.
Mrinal Supriya studied under world-famous face surgeon Andrew Jacono to go beyond this technique in what is known as the ‘minimal access deep plane’ (MADE) vertical vector facelift.
By combining the features of a Deep Plane facelift and those of the short-scar minimal access cranial suspension lift, Mr Supriya can reposition excess soft tissue to the back portion of the jaw to restore the contour and volume that creates the arc of a youthful feminine jawline.
This type of facelift is performed by less 5% of surgeons because it is a technically more difficult procedure even though the results are more rejuvenating and longer lasting by 10 years, on average.

Who benefits from a Deep Plane Facelift?
If you want longer-lasting and more natural looking results – a Deep Plane Facelift might be right for you
You feel like your insides don’t match your outsides
You feel youthful on the inside. Lately, you feel a little surprised when you catch sight of yourself in the mirror. How you look just doesn’t match up with how you feel. You want these two states to match up more closely.
If you feel like you could use more definition and tighter skin along your jaw line
As we age, the skin of our face can start to sag and drag our faces down. The dreaded double chin can form. You would like to restore some of what experts call the “triangle of youth” by firming up the skin and contours of your chin.
You would like to lift up facial sagging however want a very natural looking end result
You’re keen to lift up the areas of your face that have started to sag but you’ve seen people with unnatural, almost windswept looks. That’s not what you’re after. You want to restore your natural beauty in a way that has people asking you if you’ve just come back from a spa or had a very restorative night’s sleep. You want to look rested, rejuvenated and youthful.

Hear what our patients have to say
Our reputation rests on the experience of our patients
“Mr. Supriya operated on my daughter Mia earlier this year carrying out a septoplasty and surgery to both turbinates. I am a nurse myself and have worked for many years in the operating theatre and cosmetic industry so I am used to dealing with surgeons. Mr Supriya is an amazing person, not only a very competent surgeon but a very kind caring man who put himself out completely to help and accommodate Mia for her surgery. For the first time in 12 years Mia can breath properly so to say we are grateful is an understatement.”
“I was there for my medical examination. From setting up appointments, registration, consultation and check up process, all staff and Mrinal himself were exceptional. I would highly recommend the clinic and I am very happy with the results of my treatment.”
“I have received only what I can describe as world class treatment from Mr Supriya. His care & professionalism has been a comfort for me from day one.”
“Dr Supriya was very friendly, professional, and put me at ease straight away. He spent time talking to me about specifically what I wanted and gave me his honest advice. Consultations were always very positive, and I didn’t feel nervous for my surgery.”
“The result from my surgery was fantastic – it was exactly what I wanted. I had an open septorhinoplasty, and as soon as I came out of surgery I could breath much better than before. To my surprise, I didn’t experience any noticeable facial bruising or swelling at any point in my recovery.”
“The results were so natural-looking that no one at work could tell I had anything done! I am delighted with my experience overall, and would certainly recommend Dr Supriya to anyone interested in cosmetic surgery, particularly rhinoplasty.”
“My experience has been amazing from the first consultation till the surgery and even after the surgery. The support and care given by Steve (Patient Coordinator) and my surgeon Dr Mrinal Supriya has been amazing and comforting. I am very pleased with the results so far and I couldn’t be happier.”
