I’m so glad I found your channel. I’m a 63 year old male and plan on having a face lift next year. As you said, deep plane is all the rage, but I’m happy to hear SMAS is still a good option! I’d rather not risk nerve damage
I had a facelift in 2020 at age 50 by Dr Eshima in SF. I never thought to ask about different types of facelifts because I was unaware that there were differences. I’m very happy with my results.I recently learned that facelifts don’t last forever and Dr Eshima has retired unfortunately. Thanks for the informative video, loved it.
You had me at supercalifragilisticexpialidocious 😂. So happy that you make these videos. Idk if I’m nosy or just curious about what’s available. Give me one of everything Dr. Z.
Thank you for the video Dr Jonathan! I was wondering if there are published statistics around what % of patients doing Deep Plane get facial nerve damage? I would imagine there are some studies? Thanks!
It’s so impossible to know. Its so much more provider-dependent than procedure-dependent, but my best guess is that for any provider there is a 200% risk of nerve injury in the deep plane.
Great video thank you. You say that the results between deep plane and Smasectomy is not that much different. Would a deep plane not last longer though?
Loved your comments , very balanced and objective view that deep plane is a not a one size fits all but rather other factors are equally important besides judt the type of procedure
Thanks. They’re actually quite old. I was informed that the reflection in my current glasses’ lens was too much, so these are frames only. Hilarious, I know.
Hi, I am a 48 year old man About to undergo deep plane surgery including eyebrow lifting (not with the endoscopic method) incisions behind the hairline The doctor tells me that I don't have to worry about hair loss because it is not going to damage the hair follicles. Is this even possible? Do I really need to worry about hair loss? I would love to receive an answer from you Do you recommend undergoing this facelift surgery despite its risks?
This is absolutely a conversation you should have with your surgeon. But it is very possible to minimize hair loss with careful technique and beveled incisions.
Hmm, and I here thought it was Dr. Andrew Jacono himself that perfected the deep plane lift. I also recall a statistic that only 2% of doctors know how to do “a true” deep plane lift. I don’t know how factual that is either? I had no idea that the deep plane has been implemented since 1990. What is your opinion on Telehealth facelift appointments? Do you think it fine for a patient to do that or is better for a surgeon to see you in person or does it not matter? I also know of surgeons who will let you send pictures of yourself to them & they’ll tell you what they think you need. I’d like to hear a professional opinion regarding this. Anyways, thank you for your informative videos, I really value them.😊
Thanks for reaching out and for the kind words. I think telehealth is a good starting point and adequate for certain smaller procedures but a facelift consult deserves more.
Jacono and basic all the Drs, take pics of the ir patients in flattering light while they are still swollen so they look good. look at them a year alter and the face is almost back to normal. maybe they look 5 yrs younger.
@@msnzbody3712 , I find before & after photos frustrating when the patient has a resting face in the before but a smiing face in the after because can't equally compare the 2 pics. 😐
This is something I recently caught on to as well. When you look at all of Jacanos pictures they have the most amazing lighting and they have on makeup and the the angle of the photo is flattering as well. For years I was dead set on trying to save up money for a Jaccano facelift but when I first learned about him he was charging 30,000k and now he's charging over 200,000k and I just can't justify that. Especially when other facelift surgeons give the same exact results. They just don't use all the trick shots when they do the after photos, so you don't realize that it's the same result and not any better or less @@msnzbody3712
If someone has had buccal fat pad removal in past, what you recommend to prevent joker facelift like Demi Moore, facial fat grafting or filler to cheek hollows?
There’s no reason to believe the approach will have more of an impact on longevity than other factors like patient age, sun damage, surgeon skill, and technique
I knew I liked you the best! Straight up yes the scars are the same why would they be different just maybe better ways to heal maybe it’s the ability of the surgeon in more ways than one the ability to judge the best options for the patient 😊just sayin
02:00 "Every plastic surgeon that offers facelifts *knows how to do both* traditional smas and deep plane facelifts." Not clear on this. Aren't there many surgeons that have performed many smas facelifts but with little to no experience with deep plane?... Obviously you would ideally want a surgeon experienced in both... It sounds like you are saying that even a surgeon that has only performed smas has the theoretical knowledge to perform deep plane. Is that what you mean?🤔
Highlighting the work of a surgeon, specifically the one who did Marc Jacobs lift, is incredibly negligent. Marc Jacobs received a different level of care than the average patient. I should know. I had a botched lift with the same "world renowned" surgeon and have since been put in touch with many other women who had the same experience as I did. There are multiple lawsuits against him. Don't be fooled by social media.

This is one of the best videos to explain the difference!

It really depends on the patient. The deep plane facelift is exceptional for younger patients.
I'll be 60 in 2 months & just had a SMAS lift. I think you're making the right decision.
@@jonathanzelkenmd Do you think that a person who is over 60 should get deep plane facelift?
@@Oivey2000 Are you happy with the result, and do you feel it looks natural?
@@doctordarcy8385 Yes, I'm happy. 100% feeling has not returned yet and it's been almost 5 months, but they said it can take 6 months to a year.

excellent explications !!
Thank you!

Hahaha you got it :)
😂
It’s a great explanation. The doctor should choose which method is suitable for the patient
as you know,face aging is deflation and descent . that means no skin excess,can we do facelift without skin excision. or it is a nust ???

Very good practical logical presentation
Thank you!
Hi Dr Zelken , just wanted to get an idea of price , for a deep plane facelift, verses a traditional for a man ?
Loved your comments , very balanced and objective view that deep plane is a not a one size fits all but rather other factors are equally important besides judt the type of procedure
Thanks so much. Check out our blog for more detail.
looking good in the new glasses doc 😏😏😏
Thanks. They’re actually quite old. I was informed that the reflection in my current glasses’ lens was too much, so these are frames only. Hilarious, I know.
Thank you for the information Dr. It is nice to get an information from a surgeon who perform both deep plane facelift and SMAS facelift.
Thanks, and that’s an important point. Many, if not most of us are capable of performing both interchangeably.

An artistic surgeon:)
Sir great information
Do you offer training courses in lip lift surgery/ gynecomastia surgery
Hi Dr., no I do not. Thanks for inquiring.
Labiaplasty.
How about longevity?

Sorry you are going through a tough time. I appreciate the feedback and hope you’ve voiced your concerns to your surgeon.
