The extended deep plane mid-facelift can be the ideal procedure for those looking to correct sagging, laxity, and drooping in the midface and jawline without undergoing a full facelift.
Benefits of Extended Deep Plane Mid-Facelift and Mini Lift
Patients who choose an extended deep plane mid-facelift or mini lift experience numerous benefits. These methods address the underlying issues of facial aging, repositioning descended fat and muscle back to their original positions, resulting in a rejuvenated appearance with natural results that align with your unique facial structure.
Key advantages include:
- Natural-Looking Results – By repositioning deeper facial structures, the extended deep plane mid-facelift and mini lift offer natural and youthful outcomes without the “pulled tight” look of traditional facelifts.
- Quicker Recovery – These techniques preserve more lymphatic drainage pathways, allowing for faster subsidence of swelling and a quicker return to daily activities.
- Long-Lasting Effects – Targeting the root causes of aging ensures results that can last 10 to 15 years or longer, depending on individual lifestyle and genetics.
Ideal Candidates for Extended Deep Plane Mid-Facelift or Mini- Lift Procedure
Ideal candidates for these procedures are typically individuals experiencing sagging or looseness in the midface and jawline. They are often in their late 40s to 70s but can be younger or older. Suitable candidates are in good overall health, do not smoke, and have realistic expectations. A consultation with Dr. Cleveland will help determine if the procedure is right for you.
Extended Deep Plane Mid-Facelift vs Traditional Facelift
In a traditional facelift, the skin is lifted and pulled back to create a tighter appearance. This approach can result in a “pulled back” look and does not address sagging in deeper tissue layers. In contrast, the extended deep plane mid-facelift surgery goes beneath the skin, lifting the SMAS layer (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System), fat pads, and muscles, providing a more thorough correction of age-related laxity and sagging in the midface and jawline. The result is a natural appearance without the tightness often associated with traditional facelifts.
Meet Your Extended Deep Plane Facelift Specialist: Dr. Patrick Cleveland
Voted one of Florida’s top facial plastic surgeons by Castle Connolly in 2023 and 2024, Florida native, Dr. Patrick Cleveland is a renowned expert in facial plastic surgery. The doctor is Board certified by the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ABFPRS) and the American Board of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery (ABOHNS).
Choosing a facial plastic surgeon with certifications from both ABFPRS and ABOHNS offers significant advantages.

Surgical Techniques to Minimize Scarring
Dr. Cleveland takes great care to ensure that any scars are as inconspicuous as possible. Incisions are made along the hairline and around the ears, where they can be naturally concealed. Whether the procedure is a full facelift or mid-facelift, the extended deep plane method relies on revising and repositioning the deep layers of muscle and tissue structures that have shifted downward. This advanced technique allows external incisions in the overlying skin to be closed without tension. This method reduces trauma and promotes faster and better healing.
