In this episode of The Plastic Surgery Revolution, Dr. Steven Davis breaks down one of today’s hottest topics in aesthetic surgery—the Deep Plane facelift—and explains why it’s not the only option for restoring a youthful appearance.

With everyone online buzzing about Deep Plane procedures, it’s easy to assume it’s the universal “gold standard.” But Dr. Davis shares why the best facelift is always the one tailored to your anatomy, history, lifestyle, and goals—not the one trending on social media.

He explores:

Why Deep Plane facelifts are popular—and where they fit
How previous procedures (from traditional facelifts to the old Lifestyle Lift) influence what’s possible now
When a “tweak” or secondary lift may be all you need
How weight loss medications and dramatic changes in facial volume are leading more young patients to need skin-tightening surgeries
The importance of a personalized consultation—especially with major variability in age, health, weight changes, and skin quality

Dr. Davis emphasizes that no single technique is right for everyone. Whether you’ve had surgery years ago or are facing new skin laxity from weight loss, today’s facelift options are more customizable than ever.

As the holiday season approaches, it may be the perfect time to explore what’s truly best for your face—not the Internet’s favorite.
