Deep Plane Facelift in La Jolla by Dr. Melanie Malone

Deep Plane Facelift in La Jolla & San Diego

The Most Advanced Facelift Technique for Natural Results

Dr. Melanie Malone's signature deep plane facelift provides the most natural-looking results for a more youthful and refreshed face and neck. This advanced technique lifts the midface, defines the jawline, and elongates the neck for comprehensive rejuvenation.

Benefits of a Deep Plane Facelift:

  • Lifted cheeks
  • Defined jawline
  • Elongated neck
  • More natural, longer-lasting results
  • Less bruising and swelling
  • Limited, hidden incisions

How is a Deep Plane Facelift Different?

Unlike traditional facelifts that only lift skin and superficial muscles, a deep plane facelift raises all deeper facial tissues together. This comprehensive lifting avoids the pulled, tight look of traditional facelifts for more natural rejuvenation.

Ideal Candidates for Deep Plane Facelift

The deep plane facelift is best suited for patients in their 40s and older looking for comprehensive rejuvenation of the midface, lower face and neck. Dr. Malone will evaluate your individual needs during a consultation to determine if this technique is right for you.

Recovery and Results

Most patients can return to normal activities within 7-10 days after a deep plane facelift. Dr. Malone's published research shows results lasting over 10 years. Patients look naturally refreshed and rejuvenated, not overdone.

Why Choose Dr. Malone for Your Deep Plane Facelift

Dr. Melanie Malone is a board-certified facial plastic surgeon specializing in advanced facelift techniques. She trained directly under Dr. Andrew Jacono, a pioneer of the deep plane facelift method. Dr. Malone's expertise ensures natural-looking results that turn back the clock without looking "done".

For many years I was insecure with my nose tip and nostrils. Doctor Malone was kind enough to share that I did not need a rhinoplasty but she listened to my needs and I was thrilled that she was going to help me achieve my dream. The morphed pictures allowed me to have an idea of how my nose would look. However, I had my complete trust in Doctor Malone’s talent and attention to detail. My nose was shaped and grafted with precision. I felt safe choosing Doctor Malone because of her talent and her safety precautions. The anesthesiologist spoke with me the day before surgery regarding my health. The anesthesiologist was dedicated for my health and safety during the procedure. The nurses were there to help me before, during and after surgery. I was able to go home the same day. I was given detailed guidance for my pre-operation and advice for a smooth recovery from Nurse Sky. I appreciate Doctor Malone’s team for being kind and supportive during my journey. Thank you very much Doctor Malone for making my very dearest dream come true! 🌷

What can I say about Dr. Malone? She is an expert at what she does, and a true artist. I am only four months out from my Deep Plane Facelift and Upper Blepharoplasty, but I am already beyond thrilled, and I know my results will continue to improve over the next 8 months. The minute I met Dr. Malone, she put me at ease. This type of surgery is a big decision, and I was nervous. Her knowledge, expertise in this specific technique, and her ability to make me feel comfortable asking any and all questions made the decision to choose her as my surgeon easy for me. Dr. Malone has a great support staff full of amazing women as well. From Natalie's welcoming smile at the front desk to Ela who walked me through pre-op instructions, to Amber, who has been following me post-op and is always willing to answer any questions I have. Couldn't be a better team! I can't recommend Dr. Malone enough!
