Why NANA Plastic Surgery?
What is NANA’s Deep Plane Facelift Surgery?
NANA’s Deep Plane Facelift Surgery targets the root causes of sagging skin by lifting both the skin and deep fascia layers together without inserting threads or foreign substances. This dual-pull technique ensures long-lasting and natural effects by resolving the underlying issues rather than just pulling the skin.
Why is the Release of Retaining Ligaments Necessary?
Retaining ligaments, connecting skin and fat to bones in the face, play a crucial role in maintaining the positions of various tissues. However, these ligaments, like the muscle layer, loosen with aging, causing the skin and fat to sag downward. During facial lift, releasing these ligaments beneath the fascia (SMAS) layer is essential for long-lasting effects.
Safely Releasing Fascia (SMAS) Layer Along Retaining Ligaments
The face consists of thin fibrous membranes, including the mesh-like SMAS layer between the skin and muscles, and retaining ligaments connecting skin and fat to bones. Aging weakens the SMAS layer, eading to the sagging of ligaments, skin, and fat. Lifting surgery's expertise lies in pulling from deep layers to counter this effect.
Scar-Minimal Incisions for Natural Results
At NANA Plastic Surgery, our full facelift technique focuses on precise dissection and stable fixation of the skin and SMAS layers to support natural healing and refined outcomes. By securely anchoring incisions to deeper tissue layers, tension is effectively managed, allowing scars to heal smoothly and remain minimal. The incision is designed to follow the natural contours from behind the ear, maintaining its original shape without distortion and keeping scars subtly hidden.
