The first useful question in any facelift consultation is not how much, how long, or what is involved. It is whether the patient is actually a candidate for the procedure being discussed, and if so, which technique is the right one. Recovery, longevity, and cost only matter once that question has a clear answer.
Not every patient who books a facelift consultation needs a deep plane lift. Some are better suited to a less extensive procedure. A small number are better off not having surgery at all and pursuing non-surgical options for a few more years. An experienced doctor should be willing to say so when that is what the assessment suggests.
