Facelift with little Bruising

Awake Preservation Deep Plane Facelift & Necklift in Lubbock, TX

The Gold Standard in Natural Facial Rejuvenation—Performed Safely & Comfortably Under Local Anesthesia

As time passes, gravity, sun exposure, and the natural aging process can cause the deep tissues of the face and neck to shift downward. This shows up as sagging jowls, loose skin under the chin ("turkey neck"), and a loss of the crisp, defined jawline you once had.

If you are looking for a significant, long-lasting transformation but want to avoid the windblown look of a traditional facelift—and the high risks and costs of general anesthesia—there is an advanced alternative.

At FacePLUS+ Plastic Surgery Institute in Lubbock, Texas, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Thanapoom (Mo) Boonipat specializes in the Awake Preservation Deep Plane Facelift and Necklift. By operating beneath the muscle layers rather than pulling the skin, Dr. Mo restores a remarkably youthful, completely natural appearance while you remain safely awake and comfortable.

What is a "Preservation" Deep Plane Facelift?

Traditional facelifts pull only the top layer of skin, which can create a tight, operated, or "wind-tunnel" appearance.

A Preservation Deep Plane Facelift goes much deeper. Dr. Mo gently repositions the entire structure of the face—including the SMAS (superficial muscular aponeurotic system) layer and fat pads—as one cohesive unit.

Preservation Technique: By leaving key retaining ligaments intact and preserving the natural relationships between the fat pads and muscles, the face is vertically lifted back to where it was ten to fifteen years ago.
Tension-Free Healing: Because the structural lifting happens deep beneath the surface, there is zero tension pulled on the skin itself. This guarantees soft, completely natural-looking results with exceptionally hidden, thin scars.

The Awake Advantage: Luxury Care Under Local Anesthesia

Choosing an "awake" facial rejuvenation means your procedure is performed using highly advanced tumescent local anesthesia.

Complete Comfort: The face and neck are entirely numbed. You will remain relaxed and fully awake, feeling no pain—only light pressure or movement.
Enhanced Safety Profile: By completely bypassing general anesthesia, you eliminate the risks of systemic complications, nausea, and the dreaded "sedation hangover."
Cost-Effective Luxury: Performing this in our private suite eliminates expensive hospital stays and third-party anesthesiologist fees, making the ultimate gold standard of facelifts significantly more accessible.

Why Choose FacePLUS+ in West Texas?

Quad A Accredited Surgical Facility

While many providers perform local anesthesia procedures in standard, unaccredited office rooms, FacePLUS+ refuses to compromise on safety. Our institute is a fully Quad A Accredited surgical facility. This ensures hospital-level sterility, strict safety protocols, and state-of-the-art monitoring equipment within a private, boutique setting.

Mayo Clinic & Ivy League Distinction

Dr. Mo Boonipat is an exceptionally trained, board-certified plastic surgeon who completed his residency at the world-renowned Mayo Clinic. Combining this rigorous medical background with his lifelong training as a fine artist, Dr. Mo approaches facial aesthetics with a master’s eye for facial harmony, volume restoration, and invisible incisional placement.

The Patient Experience: Step-by-Step

The journey to a naturally refreshed appearance is designed to be smooth, clear, and reassuring.

1.Design & Numbing:Day of Surgery.

Dr. Mo meticulously marks the vectors of your face to align with your natural bone structure. A specialized local numbing fluid is gently introduced under the skin, making the entire face and neck completely numb within minutes.

2.The Deep Plane Structural Lift:2.5 - 4 Hours.

Working smoothly through hidden incisions around the ear structure, Dr. Mo releases and vertically shifts the deep muscle and SMAS layers. The neck is simultaneously contoured to recreate a crisp, sharp jawline angle.

3.Walk-Out Discharge:Immediate Post-Op.

Once the micro-sutures are placed, a supportive, soft head wrap is applied. Because no general anesthesia was used, you are clear-headed, able to stand up comfortably, and can immediately head home with your driver.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Support for Rapid Recovery

Deep plane procedures inherently yield less bruising than old-fashioned skin-only lifts because the superficial blood vessels are left undisturbed. To expedite your healing even further, FacePLUS+ provides Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) on-site.

Spending time in our private 2 ATA hyperbaric chamber immediately after surgery saturates your facial tissues with high-concentration oxygen. This cutting-edge recovery protocol cuts downtime in half, quickly dispels post-surgical swelling, and optimizes tissue health for pristine scar healing.
