Deep Plane Face & Neck Lift
Facial and neck rejuvenation from the deep structures — not just pulling the skin.
Deep Plane Face & Neck Lift — known at Ultimo Clinic as The Ultimo Deep Structural Lift™ — is a facial and neck rejuvenation procedure that works on the deep tissue layers rather than simply pulling the skin. By releasing the face’s retaining ligaments and structurally repositioning the SMAS layer together with the neck muscles, it restores a more youthful facial contour and a defined jawline, with results that look natural and last. In Indonesia, the deep plane technique was pioneered by dr. Enrina Diah, who has practiced it since 2014. Today, the deep plane technique is regarded as the gold standard in facelift surgery worldwide.
A conventional facelift typically pulls and tightens the skin and surface layers. That approach can create a "pulled" look and tends not to last, because the tension sits on the skin. The deep plane technique works deeper: it releases the facial retaining ligaments and repositions the SMAS layer together with the tissue beneath it, as a single unit.
The result is a face lifted from its foundation, not its surface. This is what makes deep plane results look more natural, feel softer, and last longer than a surface lift.
Why 'The Ultimo Deep Structural Lift'?
The name reflects the first principle of The Ultimo Method — Architectural Integrity: we never treat only the surface. Every lift is built from the deep structures — bone, muscle, and the SMAS layer — so the result is structurally sound, safe, and stable over time.
The Three Parts of the Procedure
At Ultimo Clinic, the Deep Plane Face & Neck Lift is performed by dr. Enrina Diah, the first surgeon in Indonesia to adopt the technique, since 2014. Her command of it is rooted in craniofacial training — an understanding of facial anatomy down to its deepest layers — so every lift is planned from the structure, not from a trend. This is the essence of The Ultimo Method.
Who Is It For?
- Skin of the face and neck beginning to sag
- A softening jawline or jowls
- Deep nasolabial folds
- A structural "double chin"
- Typically patients in their 40s and beyond, in good general health
The right approach — facelift alone, neck lift alone, or combined — is determined in a personal consultation with dr. Enrina.
What to Expect
Frequently Asked Questions
How is a Deep Plane Facelift different from a standard facelift?
A standard facelift typically pulls and tightens the skin and surface layers, while a Deep Plane Facelift works on the deeper layers — releasing the retaining ligaments and repositioning the SMAS and the tissue beneath it. The result looks more natural and lasts longer, because the face is lifted from its foundation rather than from the skin.
Will it look natural?
Yes. Because the procedure repositions deep tissue rather than pulling skin, it avoids a "pulled" or "operated-on" look. The goal is to make you look like yourself on your best days — not like someone else.
How long do the results last?
Because it works on the structural layers, deep plane results generally last longer than a surface facelift. Aging continues, so the result is long-lasting rather than permanent — but your face will continue to look younger than it would have without the procedure.
Can a Deep Neck Lift be done without a facelift?
Yes, particularly for patients whose main concern is the neck. But because the face and neck age together, many patients achieve the most harmonious result by combining the two. dr. Enrina will help determine the right approach during your consultation.
