The extended deep plane facelift, unique among facelift techniques, can significantly improve the deep folds between the cheek and the lip, also known as the melolabial folds. However, fine facial wrinkles that are a result of changes to the top layers of the skin and not loose, drooping soft tissue and fat is better treated with laser resurfacing (CO2 laser). Fortunately, laser resurfacing (CO2 laser) can be performed at the same time as an extended deep plane facelift, which enhances the results of the facelift.
