Is facial lifting for you? Understand when surgery is indicated

oglobo28 August 2026 at 06:00

The younger-looking face that doesn't look like it has had surgery has become one of the most discussed wishes when it comes to facial lifting. Among the techniques that have gained popularity in recent years is the so-called deep plane, a procedure that works on deeper layers of the face and promises more natural results.

Celebrity exposure on social media helped bring the technique into focus, but a question remains: who really has an indication for undergoing the surgery. According to plastic surgeon Paolo Rubez, the deep plane is usually considered for people who already show more marked signs of aging.

Among these signs are sagging, more pronounced creases, such as the so-called "nasolabial folds," and loss of definition in the jaw and neck. The surgeon explained that the procedure is more indicated for patients with these more advanced characteristics of facial aging.
