What are the criteria for a Deep Plane Facelift?

A potential candidate for a Deep Plane Face and Necklift must meet certain criteria to ensure optimal results and a smooth recovery period. The selection includes not only age, but also takes into account overall health, lifestyle and individual aesthetic goals.

Health and lifestyle

You must be in good physical and mental health. Conditions that affect healing, such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes or blood clotting disorders, may be a contraindication. Pregnant women or women who are breastfeeding are also not eligible.

If you take blood thinners, other medication or certain supplements, it is important to report this in advance. This is discussed thoroughly during the consultations.

Smoking and alcohol

Smokers are not eligible for the procedure unless they can completely stop for a minimum of six weeks before and six weeks after the procedure. This also applies to vaping. Smoking disrupts the healing process, reduces blood flow to the skin and significantly increases the risk of complications.

Avoiding alcohol both shortly before and after the procedure is also of great importance for a smooth recovery.

Summary

The most important criteria at a glance:

• Good overall physical and mental health
• No smoking (minimum 6 weeks before and after the procedure)
• No excessive alcohol use around the procedure
• No pregnancy or breastfeeding
• No uncontrolled conditions that affect healing
• Full disclosure of medication and supplements
• Realistic expectations about the result and recovery
