Deep Plane Facelift in Dr. Paul Aguirre (Paul Aguirre MD)
About the clinic
Deep Plane Facelift at Dr. Paul Aguirre’s practice in Bogotá, Colombia, uses a deeper lifting method beneath the SMAS layer. Dr. Paul Aguirre trained at the Ivo Pitanguy Institute in Brazil and is a member of the Colombian Society of Plastic Surgery. Results may last 10–15 years, though durability varies by patient.
How the 4–6-hour procedure works
The surgeon works beneath the SMAS, a layer of tissue under the skin. This releases facial ligaments and lifts the skin, fat, and muscle together. The method differs from a SMAS facelift, which may last 5–8 years, and a mini-lift, which may last 2–4 years.
General anesthesia is typical. In specific cases, the procedure may use sedation with local anesthesia. Incisions follow the eyelid area, hairline, and ear contours. They are planned to become less visible as they heal.
Blepharoplasty, deep neck cervicoplasty, or lipofilling can be combined with the facelift.
Recovery and monitoring in Bogotá
Surgery takes place in high-complexity clinics with an intensive care unit available. Most patients go home the same day, while some stay overnight for observation. AI-assisted remote monitoring runs for 24 hours during recovery and can send real-time alerts.
Drains are usually removed after 2–3 days, with follow-up visits at 3 and 7 days. External stitches come out in the second week. Many patients return to desk work and social activities after 2–3 weeks. The final result may take 6–12 months to develop.
Preparation and possible risks
Planning includes facial analysis, blood tests, and a cardiology evaluation. Patients are advised to stop smoking 4–6 weeks before and after surgery.
Possible risks include hematoma, temporary facial nerve weakness, temporary hair loss near incisions, and some remaining asymmetry. Permanent facial nerve weakness is reported in under 1% of cases.
Those considering this procedure can request a consultation through Bookimed to discuss their needs and recovery plan.
