'Unlike traditional facelifts that pull on the skin, this technique repositions the deeper structures beneath the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) layer.

There are many traditional facelifts and blepharoplasties patients who will look natural or like they have not had any plastic surgery done. What is different is that they are done by talented plastic surgeons,' says Johannesburg-based aesthetic doctor Dr Reza Mia. Curious about what exactly goes in to getting this groundbreaking facial procedure? The experts have got you covered. Specifics of the deep plane facelift From pricing in South Africa to recovery time, Professor Chrysis shares some insight into the specifics of the deep plane facelift. 'In South Africa, a deep plane face and neck lift typically costs between R150 000 and R200 000, depending on surgical complexity and hospital setting. When combined with procedures like eyelid surgery, lip lifts or skin resurfacing, a full facial rejuvenation package can cost up to R275 000. 'Recovery is usually smoother than with older techniques. Initial swelling and bruising resolve within 10 to 14 days, with most patients returning to daily activities in two to three weeks. Full recovery takes a few months, with final results revealing a refreshed and natural appearance,' Professor Chrysis explains. He also highlights that in the recovery phase after surgery, doctors will put together tailored recovery plans for each patient and do non-surgical treatments like Botox, laser resurfacing and derma fillers to maintain results and enhance the look. Rising cosmetic surgery trends in South Africa Many local stars have been vocal about their cosmetic procedures, whether the decision was based on a medical need or purely for confidence. From Boity Thulo's breast reduction and Lalla Hiryama's implant removal to Sithelo Shozi and Gogo Skhotheni's Brazilian butt lifts (BBLs), local surgeons are seeing a definite rise in natural. subtle body and face rejuvenation procedures. As a growing number of South Africans view cosmetic procedures as an investment in confidence and wellbeing, some medical institutions are now offering structured payment plans to make surgery more accessible. Professor Chrysis Sofianos Professor Chrysis reveals that he is seeing these trends in women in their 30s and 50s hoping to keep a youthful and refreshed appearance without looking overdone. 'The deep plane facelift, fat grafting and regenerative treatments like Morpheus8 and PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy are all in high demand among this group. These procedures offer refined, long-lasting results and can be tailored to the individual's anatomy and stage of ageing.' He continues, 'At the same time, we've seen a steady increase in male patients, particularly professionals in their 40s and 50s, seeking subtle enhancements to reduce signs of stress and fatigue while maintaining a masculine appearance.' Dr Reza echoes Professor Chrysis' findings and explains why PRP therapy is becoming so popular in Mzansi. 'The most exciting innovation we've seen in recent times is the platelets-rich evolution of platelets. It gives us an ability to give patience the universally attractive traits of healthy skin and a full head of hair at the same time we're able to make filler out of the actual blood. 'The patients don't need to rely on artificial hyaluronic acid fillers and its unfortunate side effects and we're able to then make great results, which are also stimulating the skin. It also it gives us something that could never be done before. We are able to inject into the breasts to make them bigger and more voluptuous all with the patient's own blood.'

Who is the genius plastic surgeon behind Kris Jenner's age-defying makeover?
Momager extraordinaire Kris Jenner (69) isn't just keeping up with her daughters – thanks to a remarkable makeover, she's giving them serious competition. The reality TV star sent the internet into a meltdown after unveiling her new look. With some mistaking her for her 29-year-old supermodel daughter Kendall, questions swirled about who was responsible for this time-defying transformation. Page Six recently revealed other surgeons were so impressed with Kris' makeover they tried to take credit for it. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kylie Cosmetics (@kyliecosmetics) But Team Kris quickly set the record straight: 'Dr Steven Levine did Kris Jenner's recent work,' they announced, though they strategically omitted exactly what that 'work' entailed. Many other Hollywood celebs have gone under the Manhattan plastic surgeon's knife. This isn't Kris' first cosmetic surgery rodeo. The matriarch has been refreshingly transparent about her beauty journey, previously confessing to E! about her 1980s breast augmentation 'after four kids', which she later revised for 'smaller implants and a lift'. Keeping Up With the Kardashians fans might recall her 2019 earlobe surgery. Kris is such a firm believer in cosmetic assistance she's known to distribute Botox gift cards to friends and family like candy. 'It's a one-stop shop for me,' Kris once told People magazine of her Botox habit. 'Who doesn't love Botox? For me, it's been really great. If you're responsible and you talk to your doctor, I think it works.' As for Steven, he's not your average scalpel-wielder. The NYU Medical School graduate spent seven years working alongside celebrated surgeon Dr Daniel Baker before, in 2019, launching his Upper East Side practice where Manhattan's elite flock for his signature 'invisible' work. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Steven Levine (@stevenlevinemd) He specialises in blepharoplasties (eyelid surgery), brow lifts and facial fat grafting and has achieved a cult following as a result of the natural-looking results he achieves. Though his website discreetly omits pricing, People magazine reported in 2020 that basic facial procedures start at $45 000 (about R760 000 at the time). And thanks to Kris' makeover, he will probably have famous people queuing up for his handiwork for many years to come.
