Age, stress and environmental factors like smoking, all contribute to impacts multiple layers of the face, leading to wrinkles, sagging skin, and volume loss. The Trifecta facelift has been widely promoted by surgeons around the world who seek a more comprehensive approach to improve facial ageing, by combining a modern deep plane facelift with effective skin and regenerative therapies.
By integrating these elements, the Trifecta Facelift addresses not just the superficial signs of aging but also the underlying structural changes that contribute to an aged appearance. With each component in the Trifecta facelift targeting a different layer of the face:
Layer 1 – Skin: Skin resurfacing with CO2 laser therapy or chemical peels revitalizes the outer layer, reducing fine lines and improving texture.
Layer 2 – Subcutaneous Tissue: Regenerative therapies using facial fat grafting restore lost volume beneath the skin and enhancing fullness.
Layer 3 – Musculo-Aponeurotic: Advanced surgical techniques like the deep plane facelift lift and tighten the underlying muscles and tissues, addressing sagging at its source.
Benefits of the Trifecta Lift
The Trifecta facelift offers numerous benefits that distinguish it from more conventional facelift approaches. First and foremost, it delivers comprehensive rejuvenation by addressing the structural, superficial, and volumetric aspects of facial aging.
Part 1 – Deep Plane Face and Neck Lift
The first component of the Trifecta facelift is a deep plane face and neck lift, which specifically targets the deeper fascial layers of the face. Unlike traditional facelifts that merely tightens the skin, the deep plane facelift lifts and tightens the underlying Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System (SMAS) and platysma layer, effectively combating sagging and restoring facial contours.
Part 2 – Skin Resurfacing
Next element in the Trifecta facelift is skin resurfacing. Skin resurfacing treatments such as CO2 laser therapy or chemical peels remove the sun damaged outer layers of the skin. They also stimulate collagen production and promote the growth of new, healthy skin cells, resulting in improved skin tone and textures, reducing the appearance of fine lines and blemishes.
Part 3 – Regenerative Therapies
The final component involves regenerative therapies through fat grafting. This technique uses the patient’s own fat to restore volume to areas of the face that have lost fullness over time. Additionally, fat grafting has regenerative properties due to the stem cells and growth factors that that improve skin quality, adding another layer of benefit to this comprehensive facelift.
