The Deep Plane Facelift at V CLINIC Brno targets the underlying facial musculature (SMAS layer) as well as skin and subcutaneous tissue, repositioning all three layers back toward their original anatomical positions. Unlike procedures that only address the skin surface, this technique simultaneously corrects the neck, resolving tissue descent, fat accumulation, undefined jawlines, and deep nasolabial folds. Surgery takes approximately 2.5 hours and typically involves one night of monitored recovery in the clinic's facility. Performed by MUDr. Tomáš Ventruba — one of the highest-volume facelift surgeons in Central Europe with over 300 deep-plane procedures per year — under local, sedation, or general anaesthesia depending on the patient's profile and preferences.

Absorbable internal sutures are used throughout, meaning no visible external stitches remain after removal. Final results continue to refine for up to one year as deeper tissues settle. The procedure is commonly combined with deep necklift,…
