Facelift in Colombia
Natural and long-lasting results. The Deep Plane Facelift allows for a facial lifting at the level of the tissues and muscles of the face, working on the layer called SMAS, this translates for the patient into a more natural and lasting result since not only the skin is lifted, but also the layer of tissues that include the muscles that give life to facial expressions. Due to its complexity, this procedure must be performed by a competent professional. Dr Fulvio Correa has been perfecting his Deep Plane Facelift technique for more than 10 years.
Imperceptible. Thanks to the fact that the incisions are minimal and are made in strategic areas of the face, this procedure is almost imperceptible, since the natural folds of the face naturally cover any possible scars.
Recovery. One of the biggest fears of our patients is not having enough time to perform their procedure and recover, that is why at Fulvio Correa Plastic Surgery we have designed an ALL-Inclusive plan so that you can, in a short period of time, perform your procedure and recover in our Recovery House, a space specifically designed for optimal recovery.

The Deep Plane Facelift is an advanced facial rejuvenation technique that offers natural and long-lasting results. Unlike traditional methods, this procedure works at a deeper level, repositioning facial muscles and tissues rather than simply tightening the skin. This results in a more youthful and fresh appearance, without the stretched look that can characterize other types of facelifts.
