Deep Plane Facelift Recovery – Marie’s Journey
What is a Facelift?
Facelift, or Rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that corrects the aging changes of the lower face and neck. The average age of surgery is 45 to 70, but patients are frequently older or younger than this, as facial aging occurs differently in everyone. Often a variety of terms are used to describe lower facial rejuvenation (Necklift, Mid Facelift, Mini-lift, Ponytail lift, etc.), which can lead to confusion among patients, as many are marketing terms describing the same procedure that are essentially the same and others are only helpful to a carefully selected group of patients. Rest assured that Dr. Cleveland will give you a comprehensive facial analysis and tailor the type of facelift to your needs, giving you the most natural result possible.

How to make sure you and your surgeon are on the same page
I believe that each surgery needs to be tailored to fit the unique needs of every individual patient. This starts by taking the time to listen to what each patient is concerned about, then going over all the specific details related to this. After I have a complete vision for what a patient wants, I show each patient what they can expect to make sure we are on the same page. I then walk them through what they will experience before, during, and after the surgery. I feel excellent communication is an essential piece to delivering a world class experience for each patient.
What to Expect for your Facelift in West Palm Beach
One of the most common questions patients ask about when deciding on a West Palm Beach Facelift is which technique is best for them. Dr. Cleveland employs an Extended Deep Plane Facelift Technique and tailors this approach to each patient’s needs for a bespoke and natural result.
Traditional Facelift techniques focus on tightening the excess skin alone and sometimes placing deep stitches to support the sagging muscle and fat. This leads to poor durability and as too much tension on the skin, which can lead to unnatural results.
Dr. Cleveland employs an Extended Deep Plane technique that is customized to each patient’s needs. This technique repositions the muscle, skin, and fat together restoring them to their native position of youth. Because gravity pulls these loose tissues down, the best vector to pull them up with is a Vertical Vector, usually around 60 degrees, which avoids a pulled look. Everyone is different so Dr. Cleveland does not use a cookie cutter vertical facelift vector but customizes it to each patient’s need for the most natural and restored look. By freeing these layers up from the ligaments that hold them down instead of relying on a few sutures to pull against their attachments, he is able to add substantial durability to your result as well. This technique completely removes the tension from the skin further preventing the pulled look everyone wants to avoid.
After discussing your unique needs with Dr. Cleveland he will guide you through what to expect after receiving one of the best Facelift West Palm Beach has to offer. Your results will always be natural and sculpted to reflect the understated natural aesthetic Dr. Cleveland is known for. He knows that the key to a beautiful result is not a drastic change, but a controlled, balanced result that compliments the best features of each individual’s face.
What is Recovery Like After Facelift?
One of the most common concerns patients have when considering facelift is what the recovery is like? When you wake up after your facelift with Dr. Cleveland, you will not be in pain as Dr. Cleveland uses a numbing shot to keep you comfortable.
You will have a wrap on your head to help prevent swelling for the first night. You will go to your home or hotel with a home nurse experienced with facelift care to help you with icing and care for you for the first 48 hrs. You will personally see Dr. Cleveland the first day after your surgery to make sure everything is perfect.
Drains are never used, so you do not need to worry about having to manage them or deal with the discomfort of having them removed.
Dr. Cleveland believes in getting you to recover as quickly as possible, which is why he uses a technique that preserves the skin’s blood supply and lymphatic drainage to speed up recovery.

Will You See the Incisions?
The incisions for this facelift technique are kept to a minimum and hidden mostly in the hair with a few in and around the ear. Incisions are closed meticulously and with ZERO tension so they look invisible and heal beautifully. This allows you to look like your authentic self with no evidence Dr. Cleveland operated on you. When you have healed, you can still wear your hair up or wear a ponytail without issues. Our patients tell us they look like themselves after surgery and their friends cannot figure out why they look so vibrant and rejuvenated. There are no telltale incisions to give it away, which is how it should be.
