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.

Dr. Aguirre is very professional, clear, and kind. He made me feel confident and at ease to make the decision for surgery, and after seeing the result, I thank God for having such an excellent professional and human being who accompanied me throughout the entire process, and who now allows me to feel more beautiful and secure in my day-to-day life.

In this message I want to share my experience as a patient of Dr. Paul Aguirre. An excellent doctor, excellent care, and excellent results. I had come from a previous surgery where the earlier doctor left me with results I didn’t like, but God put the doctor Paul Aguirre in my path, and he came to change everything. It was my best decision to put myself in his hands—he has left me absolutely spectacular. I wouldn’t change him for anyone. He performed a breast augmentation and scar correction, and I’ve ended up looking great. I highly recommend him. Thank you, Dr. Paul Aguirre.
