# Deep Plane Facelift Brisbane

For Brisbane patients with established jowls, midface descent, deep nasolabial folds and neck laxity, the deep plane facelift is usually the operation under discussion — and it is the technique that makes up the largest share of Dr Scott J Turner's facelift caseload. The name refers to the plane of dissection: the surgery works below the SMAS layer, releasing the ligaments that tether descended facial tissue so the face can be repositioned as a structural unit rather than tightened at the surface. This page explains that anatomy properly, because the difference between a deep plane facelift and other techniques is anatomical, not promotional — and because patients comparing deep plane facelift surgeons in Queensland deserve a resource that explains what the operation actually involves.

Dr Turner is a Specialist Plastic Surgeon (FRACS) with a practice concentrated on facial aesthetic surgery, consulting in Brisbane at Herstellen Clinic, 490 Boundary Street, Spring Hill. Routine post-operative follow-up is also provided in Brisbane by Dr Turner and the Herstellen Clinic team.
