Why Choose Dr. Jonathan Zelken for Your Deep Plane Facelift?

Dr. Zelken’s aesthetic philosophy focuses on enhancing your natural beauty without changing your unique features. His patients consistently praise the balanced, youthful results he achieves, never “pulled”, overdone, or artificial.

To restore youthful contours, Dr. Zelken integrates fat grafting into more than 95% of his facelift procedures. This technique replenishes lost facial volume, softens transitions, and maintains long-term natural harmony. The result is a refreshed, rested appearance that continues to age gracefully.

Deep Experience & Surgical Focus

Dr. Zelken’s meticulous approach to incision placement and closure sets his results apart. By concealing incisions along the natural creases of the ear and within the hairline, he ensures scars are nearly invisible. His delicate tissue handling minimizes tension and promotes faster healing, an essential step in achieving seamless, natural results that reveal rejuvenation without evidence of surgery.

What to Expect from a Deep Plane Facelift?

A deep plane facelift repositions the deeper layers of the face (the SMAS and underlying muscles), rather than merely tightening the skin. This advanced approach lifts the midface, jawline, and neck in a way that looks natural and lasts for years.

Benefits of a Deep Plane Facelift

Restores midface volume and cheek position
Smooths nasolabial folds and reduces jowling
Defines and refines the jawline and neck contour
Reduces skin tension for improved scar healing
Provides long-lasting results, often 10+ years

Recovery Timeline

1–2 weeks: Return to light activities
2–4 weeks: Noticeable reduction in swelling and bruising
3–6 months: Results continue to refine as tissues settle naturally

Because the deep plane approach lifts the structural layers of the face, patients enjoy a refreshed, youthful appearance that endures far longer than traditional facelifts.

Are You a Good Candidate?

You may be an excellent candidate for a deep plane facelift if you:

Notice sagging in your cheeks, jawline, or neck
Desire long-lasting, natural results
Are in good general health and a non-smoker (or willing to pause)
Have realistic expectations and want subtle, authentic improvement

During your private consultation at the Zelken MD in Newport Beach, Dr. Jonathan Zelken will discuss your goals and design a personalized treatment plan that restores youthful harmony while preserving your natural character.

Schedule your consultation today to discover why patients across Orange County and Southern California trust Dr. Zelken for their deep plane facelift and facial rejuvenation needs.
