Deep Plane Facelift in Boston & Waltham
Lifted From Within. Never Pulled Tight.
Go Beyond Skin Tightening for a More Meaningful Lift
Don’t settle for surface-level improvements that only tighten your skin. Get long-lasting, youthful definition with a deep plane facelift in Boston and Waltham.
While traditional facelifts focus on surface tightening, a deep plane lift releases and lifts deeper tissues to improve sagging through the cheeks, jawline, and lower face without a “pulled” appearance.
At Finesse Cosmetic Surgery, board-certified surgeon Dr. Arthur Shektman uses advanced deep plane techniques to take years off your appearance without changing what makes you, you.
With 20+ years of experience, attentive care in a boutique practice, and a Joint Commission–accredited surgical center, you’re in the safest hands for your transformation.

What a Deep Plane Facelift Is Designed to Do
A deep plane facelift restores underlying facial structures rather than just tightening loose skin.
By lifting the underlying tissue layer, this technique creates longer-lasting, more natural-looking improvements through your cheeks, jawline, lower face, and neck.
Here’s why patients like you choose deep plane facelifts:
- Natural results that move with you, not a “pulled” or frozen look
- Long-lasting structural correction that addresses the cause, not just the surface
- Mid-face and neck rejuvenation in one procedure
- Reduced skin tension for smoother healing and less visible scarring
- No need for repeat fillers in the midface; volume is restored naturally
- Preserved facial expression; you’ll still look like yourself
How a Deep Plane Facelift Compares to Other Techniques
Not all facelift techniques work at the same depth, so your results and recovery depend on the approach you choose:
- Longer-lasting lift
- Natural movement
- Restored midface volume
- Less skin tension
Are You a Good Candidate for a Deep Plane Facelift?
A deep plane facelift may be right for you if you want more drastic improvements than a traditional facelift can provide.
You may be a good candidate if:
- You’re bothered by sagging through your cheeks, jawline, lower face, or neck
- Your face looks tired, heavy, or less defined than it used to
- You want results that look refreshed, not tight or overdone
- You’ve noticed midface volume loss that fillers can no longer improve
- You want longer-lasting correction than non-surgical treatments can provide
- You’re in good overall health
If your concerns are mild, you may be better suited for a mini facelift, dermal fillers, or another non-surgical treatment.
During your consultation, Dr. Shektman will discuss your goals, evaluate your facial structure, and help you choose the option that best suits your needs.
What to Expect Before, During, and After Surgery
Your Consultation: You’ll meet with Dr. Shektman to talk through your goals, review your facial structure, and decide whether a deep plane facelift is the right fit for you.
Your Procedure: Deep plane facelift surgery typically takes 3–5 hours depending on your needs. During surgery, Dr. Shektman releases and lifts the deeper facial tissue layer to restore support through your cheeks, jawline, lower face, and neck while reducing tension on the skin.
Your Recovery: You’ll return home the same day with clear aftercare instructions, and our team will guide you through each stage of healing:
- First few days: Swelling, tightness, and bruising are normal. You’ll rest with and walk gently to gently support your healing.
- 1–2 weeks: Bruising and swelling begin to improve, and you may feel ready for light daily activities.
- 3–4 weeks: Your face starts to look more refreshed as swelling continues to fade.
- 6 weeks and beyond: Your contours keep settling, revealing smoother definition that still looks like you.

Questions to Ask Before Choosing Your Procedure
Will I still look like myself after a deep plane facelift?
Yes, Dr. Shektman plans your results around your facial structure, so you’ll still look like you, just more rested and refreshed.
How much does a deep plane facelift cost?
The cost of a deep plane facelift depends on your surgical plan, your goals, and whether you combine it with another procedure.
During your consultation, we’ll give you a clear estimate so you know exactly what to expect.
How long do the results usually last?
Deep plane facelift results can last for many years because the procedure lifts deeper facial structures rather than just tightening the skin.
Your face will still age naturally, but you’ll enjoy longer-lasting definition and support.
Does this type of facelift leave scars?
Any facelift involves incisions, but Dr. Shektman places them carefully around the ears and hairline so they’re easier to conceal.
Since a deep plane facelift reduces tension on the skin, scars often heal flatter and become less noticeable over time.
