FACELIFT:
DEEP PLANE / UPLYFT
The Facelift : Deep Plane and "UpLyft" in Coral Gables, Miami.
Achieve a Naturally Rejuvenated Look with Long-Lasting Results
At Soler-Baillo Plastic Surgery, we specialize in advanced facelift techniques that provide natural, long-lasting facial rejuvenation. The Deep Plane Facelift is the gold standard for patients seeking the most dramatic and enduring results, restoring youthful contours by lifting and repositioning deeper facial structures.
What is a Deep Plane Facelift?
Unlike traditional facelifts that only tighten the skin, the Deep Plane Facelift lifts and repositions the underlying muscle, fat, and connective tissue (SMAS layer) in one continuous unit. This approach restores volume, structure, and youthful definition, particularly in the midface, jawline, and neck.
The procedure involves extensive release of key facial ligaments, which allows for greater mobility of the tissues and a more comprehensive, long-lasting lift.
Introducing Dr. Soler-Baillo’s Minimally Invasive Deep Plane Facelift: “The UpLyft”
For patients seeking significant facial rejuvenation with less downtime, Dr. Soler-Baillo has developed the UpLyft Facelift, a minimally invasive variation of the Deep Plane Facelift.

-
Sun Exposure & Lifestyle – UV damage, smoking, and poor skincare habits can accelerate aging.

Weight Fluctuations – Significant weight gain or loss can impact the contours of the face over time.
Are You a Candidate for Facial Rejuvenation?
✔ Younger Patients (18-35): If you are looking for subtle enhancements and improved jawline definition, consider The Angle—a minimally invasive procedure designed to sculpt and contour the lower face.
✔ Patients 35-55 or Older Patients Seeking a Less Invasive Approach: The UpLyft Facelift is an excellent option for individuals looking for natural-looking facial rejuvenation with less downtime. This technique lifts deep facial structures while maintaining soft, harmonious results.
✔ Patients Requiring a More Invasive Procedure: For those experiencing moderate to severe facial sagging, the Deep Plane Facelift provides the most comprehensive and long-lasting results by repositioning underlying muscles, fat, and skin.

Frequently Asked Questions About the UpLyft Facelift
1. How is the UpLyft Facelift different from traditional facelifts?
The UpLyft Facelift is a minimally invasive variation of the Deep Plane Facelift. It focuses on lifting and repositioning the deep facial structures, with less tissue disruption than a full deep plane procedure. This results in a quicker recovery and more natural-looking results, making it ideal for patients who want a refreshed appearance without the prolonged downtime typically associated with traditional facelifts.
2. How long is the recovery time for the UpLyft Facelift?
One of the major benefits of the UpLyft Facelift is its faster recovery. Most patients are able to return to public life within 1-2 weeks. This is significantly shorter than the typical 4-6 weeks required for the full Deep Plane Facelift. Minimal tissue disruption means reduced swelling, bruising, and discomfort, allowing you to get back to your normal activities much sooner.
3. Will I experience a lot of swelling or bruising after the UpLyft Facelift?
Compared to the traditional deep plane facelift, swelling and bruising are significantly reduced with the UpLyft Facelift. Because the procedure is minimally invasive, you’ll experience minimal discomfort and a faster recovery overall. Most patients report only minor swelling, which resolves within a few days to a week.
4. How soon will I see the final results of the UpLyft Facelift?
Most patients begin to see improvement in their facial appearance within a few days, with the swelling and bruising subsiding quickly. The final results of the procedure will be visible within 3-6 months once all swelling has gone down, and you’ll notice a more refreshed and youthful appearance with smoother contours.
5. Is the UpLyft Facelift suitable for my age and concerns?
The UpLyft Facelift is perfect for younger patients, 35-55 years old, who are beginning to notice the early signs of aging, such as mild sagging in the midface and jawline. The UpLyft is also a great alternative for older patients who do not desire an invasive procedure like The Deep Plane. The UpLyft is designed to provide a gentle lift that rejuvenates your facial features without drastic changes, making it a great option for those looking for subtle, natural results.
6. Are there any risks or complications associated with the UpLyft Facelift?
As with any surgical procedure, there are risks involved, but the UpLyft Facelift has a lower risk of complications compared to more invasive facelifts due to its minimally invasive nature. Dr. Soler-Baillo will discuss any potential risks with you during your consultation, and the procedure is tailored to your specific needs to ensure the best outcome with minimal complications.
7. Will I look "overdone" or "pulled" after the UpLyft Facelift?
No! One of the key benefits of the UpLyft Facelift is that it provides natural-looking results without the "overdone" or "pulled" appearance that can sometimes result from more traditional facelifts. Dr. Soler-Baillo’s approach focuses on maintaining facial harmony and restoring youthful contours in a way that looks fresh and natural.
