Face Patient Reviews
Dr. Johns and his staff are AMAZING! I had a neck lift and could not be happier! Healing was exactly as explained, nothing unexpected. I look better each day and I’m 9 wks post op now. Would definitely recommend Dr. John’s hands down.
Dr. Johns is incredibly talented and skilled. I have trusted him with five procedures over the last seven years. I have referred him numerous times. He is knowledgeable and straightforward with an incredible bedside manner.
I never debated in my mind if I wanted a mini face lift but I did question if I was too old. I will be 73 in June. I decided to go for it. I now look just like myself but 10 to 15 years younger. It’s amazing everyone tells me how great I look. I look so natural and not overdone. Dr. Johns is the absolute best. He is a perfectionist. So is the staff. I forgot to mention on a scale of 1-10 the pain never went above a 2 for me. I looked like I was hit by a train the first week but felt great. Week two I went to a birthday party with a lovely scarf around my neck and a bit more makeup. So, ladies over 70…DO IT.
Dr. Johns was recommended to me by a friend. Of course I was apprehensive and had all of the fears and doubts that most anyone would have prior to and immediately after surgery. 3 months later and even weeks later I could not be happier with my result. Subtle tweaks that have given me confidence and made me wish I had done it sooner. Not only does my nose look better better I can also breathe better which has greatly contributed to my quality of life. Honestly, I don’t think it could look any better. A+++

What Are the Benefits of a Deep Plane Facelift Hybrid?
Moderate to severe facial aging signs, such as deep facial creases around the mouth, a loss of facial structure, and loose jowls, can make you feel older than you are.
The deep plane facelift hybrid is an advanced facial rejuvenation technique that offers superior, longer-lasting results compared to traditional methods. By treating the deeper facial structures beyond the SMAS layer, the deep plane facelift using a hybrid technique lifts the facial plane to a more natural, youthful position without looking pulled or overdone.
Other benefits of a deep plane facelift hybrid include:
- Rejuvenation of the jowls and midface
- Significant enhancement of the cheeks and nasolabial folds
- Lifting of the deep tissues and fat pads as one cohesive unit
- Natural-looking results, as the skin is not tightened
- Long-lasting results
- Minimal scarring
- Quick and manageable recovery
Who Is an Ideal Candidate for a Deep Plane Facelift Hybrid?

Additionally, ideal deep plane facelift hybrid candidates:
- Are in good health
- Are nonsmokers or are willing to quit
- Have moderate skin elasticity
- Have reasonable expectations for results
- Want a dramatic facelift result that lasts 10–15 years

How Is a Deep Place Facelift Hybrid Performed?
Your Deep Plane Facelift Hybrid Consultation
If you’re interested in a deep plane facelift hybrid, your first step is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Johns. These meetings are essential for determining your candidacy and for Dr. Johns to plan his surgical approach for your procedure, as each is entirely unique.
During this meeting, Dr. Johns will listen to your goals for the procedure, including which features or signs of facial aging you hope to address. He will examine your face and ask you questions about your health history to see if you can benefit from surgery. He will also show you before and after images of his previous patients and give you a good idea of what results you can reasonably expect. If you are interested in complementary procedures, such as a brow lift, he can discuss them with you as well.
If you both decide that a deep plane facelift hybrid is ideal for you, he will create a customized surgical plan detailing your specific surgical steps. Lastly, he will provide you with an accurate cost estimate and preoperative instructions.
The Deep Plane Facelift Hybrid Surgical Steps
Deep plane facelifts are outpatient procedures performed at our state-of-the-art surgical center in Greensburg, PA. You will be administered general anesthesia for your optimum comfort and safety. While each procedure is customized to the patient, a general deep plane facelift hybrid sequence may be as follows:
Dr. Johns will begin by making discreet incisions along the hairline or behind the ears, before separating the upper SMAS layer of tissue from the deep plane. The facial ligaments—a key element of this technique—are released to reposition the deep plane and fat pads as a single unit. Dr. Johns will reposition the deep plane to a more youthful position and place fat pads to support areas of lost facial volume. He then reattaches the ligaments.
Next, the SMAS and upper layers are replaced, and any loose skin is gently draped and removed. He then closes the incisions with neat sutures.
Deep Plane Facelift Hybrid Recovery & Aftercare
It may seem hard to believe, but a deep plane facelift hybrid actually results in less tissue and nerve trauma than traditional methods, so recovery is typically less painful. Swelling, bruising, and some facial numbness are expected immediately after surgery, but will resolve within a few weeks.
Patients will receive detailed recovery instructions from our office that may include the following:
- Most patients will require two weeks of downtime and limited activity.
- Strenuous exercise is prohibited for at least four weeks.
- Be gentle with your facial skin and incisions.
- Resting with your head elevated and using cold compresses can alleviate swelling.
Dr. John and the rest of the team will be available to answer any questions you may have throughout your recovery. Be sure to call us if you experience any issues or want to know when you can resume certain activities.
What Results Can I Expect From a Deep Plane Facelift Hybrid?
The deep plane facelift hybrid is incredibly popular for a reason: By lifting deep structures and replacing fat pads, it delivers results that quite literally make you look like a younger version of yourself. The cheeks are lifted and have a natural-looking plumpness, nasolabial folds are smoothed without a pulled or tightened look, the jawline is contoured to reveal an elegant sweep to the neck, and all these beautiful results last for years to come.
