Structural Rejuvenation: Turn Back the Clock—Without Looking 'Pulled'.

Advanced, Identity-Preserving Deep Plane Facelift and Neck Lift by Dr. Peggy Velayo—a Double Board-Certified Surgeon in Alabang.

True, natural-looking rejuvenation requires more than just tightening the skin. Modern aging occurs beneath the surface, as facial muscles and fat compartments shift. Dr. Peggy Velayo utilizes the highly refined Deep Plane technique. This advanced approach focuses on repositioning the fundamental structural anatomy—the SMAS/platysma muscle layer—releasing ligaments that hold tissues in place. By lifting the face at this deep, architectural level, Dr. Velayo delivers soft, volumetric, and remarkable transformation that avoids the artificial, flattened, or "windblown" appearance of less sophisticated methods. The results are not only more natural but significantly more long-lasting.

The Power of the Deep Plane Technique: We Lift Muscle, Not Skin.

Targeted Lifting for Lasting Youthfulness

  • Midface & Jowls): The deep plane lift addresses the main signs of lower face aging by restoring volume to the midface/cheeks and creating a crisp, smooth jawline, effectively erasing sagging jowls.

  • Right Column (Neck & Platysma): The combined Neck Lift addresses significant concerns below the jaw, tightening laxity, reducing submental fat, and correcting muscle cords (platysmal bands) for a contoured, graceful profile.

  • Our Deep Plane Facelift lifts the deeper SMAS and ligament layers to restore youthful structure from within.

  • It is the most natural, long-lasting facelift approach — ideal for patients who want refined, elegant rejuvenation without distortion.

Alabang Aesthetic Clinic - A Foundation of Surgical Precision and Safety

Dr. Velayo’s background as a highly skilled Cosmetic Surgeon and Ophthalmologist is critical when operating at this deeper level. Her intimate knowledge of delicate head and neck anatomy ensures that structural lifting is performed with the utmost precision. We prioritize restoring the facial fat compartments and vertical lift vectors to rebuild the natural 'triangle of youth', rather than simply tightening horizontally. This approach respects your unique bone structure and facial movements.

Before & After

Frequently Asked Questions:

  • Q: What is the recovery time for a Deep Plane Facelift?

    • A: While recovery is highly individual, most patients can return to public activities within 2 to 3 weeks. Initial swelling and minimal bruising are normal and subside significantly during this period. We guide you every step of the way to ensure a smooth, comfortable healing process.

  • Q: Will I look like a completely different person?

    • A: No. The goal of a Deep Plane Facelift is structural restoration, not modification. We aim to rejuvenate you into a significantly younger, more refreshed version of yourself, respecting your inherent facial identity. By lifting the deep structures rather than the skin, your natural expressions remain authentic and beautiful.

  • Q: How long do the results of a Deep Plane Facelift last?

    • A: Deep plane results are known for their exceptional longevity. While the natural aging process continues, the structural lift established during surgery holds for many years—often 10 to 15 years or more—significantly outlasting traditional skin-only lifts. We emphasize maintaining skin health with a proactive non-surgical regimen to prolong your beautiful results.
