Chapter 1. Your Journey to Confidence Starts Here
Have you ever looked in the mirror and felt a disconnect between how young you feel inside and the reflection staring back at you? You’re not alone. A recent interview with Deepak Chopra shows that this feeling is nearly universal – we carry multiple “ages” within us. While our chronological age marks time’s steady march forward, our inner sense of self often remains decades younger, more vibrant, and more energetic than our outer appearance might suggest.
This fascinating disconnect between our inner vitality and outer appearance isn’t just in your head – it’s a documented phenomenon that affects people across all walks of life. From busy executives to active grandparents, many of us feel trapped between our youthful spirit and the visible signs of aging that can mask our true vitality.
That’s where the artistry and expertise of deep-plane facelifts come in. This comprehensive guide will show you how this revolutionary technique can help bridge the gap between how you feel and how you look, creating natural, harmonious results that reflect your inner vibrancy.
In the following pages, you’ll discover:
- Why traditional approaches to facial rejuvenation often fall short
- How the deep plane technique creates natural-looking results that stand the test of time
- What makes this approach different from conventional facelifts
- Real stories from patients who’ve rediscovered their confidence
Let’s begin your journey to natural rejuvenation – where your outer appearance finally matches your inner spirit.
Chapter 2. Meet Your Expert Wisconsin Facelift Specialist
The Unique Journey of Dr. Andrew Campbell
When choosing a facial plastic surgeon, three elements are crucial: expertise, experience, and artistic vision. Dr. Campbell uniquely combines all three, having spent over 25 years perfecting the art and science of facial rejuvenation in Milwaukee and beyond.
An Artist's Eye, A Surgeon's Precision
Long before becoming one of the best deep plane facelift surgeons in the Midwest, Dr. Campbell was an accomplished artist. This early passion for visual aesthetics shaped his approach to facial plastic surgery, allowing him to see not just the technical aspects of facial rejuvenation, but the artistic nuances that create a truly refreshed appearance.
Leadership in Facial Plastic Surgery
Dr. Campbell serves as a board member and examiner for the American Board of Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery. His expertise led to his appointment as Chairman of the National Emerging Trends & Technologies Committee. He is also recognized as both an Allergan injectable trainer and Sciton Laser Luminary for the Midwest region.
Innovation in Natural Facelift Results
At Quintessa Aesthetic Centers, Dr. Campbell pioneered state-of-the-art surgical facilities dedicated to achieving exceptional results. He developed advanced deep-plane facelift techniques and customized surgical approaches, integrating cutting-edge technology to minimize recovery time while maximizing results.
A Legacy of Excellence
Double board-certified in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, Dr. Campbell brings over 25 years of specialized experience and thousands of successful procedures to his practice. His commitment extends beyond the operating room as an active supporter of the Face to Face charity organization.
The Quintessa Difference
Under Dr. Campbell’s leadership, Quintessa has evolved from a single location into a network of state-of-the-art facilities across Wisconsin. At the heart of our philosophy is personalized care, where Dr. Campbell’s artistic vision shapes every procedure. This combination of advanced surgical techniques with attentive aftercare ensures both beautiful and lasting results, earning the trust of patients throughout Wisconsin.
“There’s a difference between an engineer and an artist. You can teach someone the techniques to get results for different problems, but you really can’t teach the artistry.”
This philosophy guides every procedure Dr. Campbell performs, ensuring that each patient receives not just a surgical procedure, but a transformative experience that enhances their natural beauty.
Chapter 3. Understanding the Deep Plane Facelift: The Gold Standard in Facial Rejuvenation
The deep plane facelift represents a revolutionary advancement in facial rejuvenation surgery. While traditional facelifts focus on surface-level changes, this sophisticated technique addresses the root cause of facial aging: the gradual descent of facial tissues. By working beneath the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) layer, we can achieve results that last 10-15 years or more.
The Science of Superior Results
The key to the deep plane technique’s effectiveness lies in its comprehensive approach to facial rejuvenation. Instead of simply tightening skin, this method releases specific facial ligaments that anchor descended tissue. This release allows for the complete repositioning of facial volume, restoring the heart-shaped facial contours associated with youth. Think of it as restoring your facial architecture rather than just addressing surface changes.
The procedure carefully preserves the natural connections between facial tissues, ensuring fluid movement and natural expressions. By repositioning volume as a complete unit, we avoid the tight, pulled look sometimes associated with traditional facelifts. This means you’ll look refreshed and rejuvenated, not “operated on.”
A Comprehensive Solution
Deep plane facelifts excel at addressing multiple signs of aging simultaneously. The technique restores volume to the upper cheeks while smoothing deep nasolabial folds. It refines the jawline by addressing jowls and creates harmonious neck contours—all while maintaining natural facial expressions and movement.
Recovery tends to be more predictable because the procedure works with your tissue’s natural planes. With less tension on healing tissues, patients often experience a smoother recovery process compared to traditional techniques.
Is Deep Plane Right for You?
The ideal candidates for deep plane facelifts typically notice several changes in their facial appearance: descended cheek volume, deepening smile lines, early jowl formation, or neck banding. During your consultation, we’ll assess these factors along with your skin quality and bone structure to determine if this approach aligns with your rejuvenation goals.
This advanced technique requires extensive surgical expertise and an intimate understanding of facial anatomy. Our surgical team has mastered the precision and artistry needed to achieve consistently outstanding results while maintaining the highest safety standards.
Remember, the goal isn’t to change your appearance but to restore your natural, more youthful contours. Through a personalized consultation, we can explore whether a deep plane facelift is the right choice for your rejuvenation journey.
Chapter 4. Your Transformative Journey: From Consultation to Results
Beginning Your Journey: The Initial Consultation
Your journey to natural facelift results begins with a personalized consultation at our Milwaukee facility. During this important first meeting, you’ll spend quality time with Dr. Campbell, who will listen carefully to your goals and concerns. This isn’t just a medical appointment – it’s the beginning of a partnership focused on achieving your aesthetic vision.
We begin with a comprehensive facial analysis, using advanced imaging technology to examine your facial structure from every angle. Dr. Campbell will assess factors like skin elasticity, bone structure, and tissue positioning to develop a complete picture of your unique facial anatomy.
Together, you’ll review before and after photos of previous patients with similar concerns. This helps create realistic expectations and demonstrates the results possible with deep-plane facelift techniques. By the end of your consultation, you’ll have a clear understanding of what’s possible and a customized treatment plan designed specifically for you.
Preparing for Your Procedure
Once you decide to move forward, our team will guide you through every step of preparation. We believe that thorough preparation leads to optimal results and a smoother recovery.
Medical Preparation
Your safety is our primary concern. We’ll conduct:
- A detailed review of your medical history
- Required pre-operative testing
- Medication adjustments if needed
- Final pre-surgery physical examination
Lifestyle Preparations
In the weeks before surgery, we’ll ask you to:
- Stop smoking and avoid alcohol
- Adjust certain medications and supplements
- Maintain a healthy diet rich in nutrients
- Stay well-hydrated
- Get plenty of rest
Home Preparation
We’ll help you prepare your recovery space by:
- Setting up a comfortable resting area

Your Surgical Experience
The Morning of Surgery
On your surgery day, you’ll arrive at our state-of-the-art surgical center where you’ll be welcomed by our experienced surgical team. We understand that this can be an emotional time, and we’re here to ensure you feel comfortable and confident.
Recovery and Healing
Recovery from a deep plane facelift is a gradual process that unfolds over several weeks. During this time, our team provides comprehensive support and guidance to ensure optimal healing. You’ll receive detailed post-operative instructions and regular check-ups to monitor your progress. Most patients return to their daily routines within a few weeks, with final results becoming visible around 6 months after surgery. Throughout your recovery journey, we remain committed to your comfort and satisfaction with your results.
Chapter 5. Complementary Treatments for Enhanced Results
Just as a masterpiece requires both bold strokes and fine details, your facial rejuvenation may benefit from additional procedures.
Key Treatment Options
Laser skin resurfacing addresses surface-level concerns like texture, fine lines, and sun damage, often performed simultaneously with your facelift for a single recovery period. Clients love our exclusive Halo laser treatment. Halo is a combination of two lasers, one non-ablative (coagulating affected tissue), and one ablative (vaporizing away the affected tissue). Quintessa is excited to be one of only a few providers in the Midwest to offer Halo Laser treatments to our patients.
For tired-looking eyes, precision eyelid rejuvenation can remove excess skin and fat, while strategic fat transfer uses your own tissue to restore volume in hollow areas like temples and cheeks.
Neck rejuvenation, including band treatment and skin tightening, ensures balanced results from every angle. For final refinements, injectable treatments like Botox® and dermal fillers can address dynamic wrinkles and fine-tune volume.
Treatment Planning
During your consultation, we’ll create a customized plan that may combine treatments in a single session or stage them over time, depending on your goals and lifestyle. This coordinated approach optimizes both your results and recovery time, often proving more cost-effective than separate procedures.
Let us help you select the perfect combination of treatments to complement your deep-plane facelift and achieve harmonious, natural-looking rejuvenation.
Chapter 6. Payment & Financing Options
A deep plane facelift is an investment in yourself that delivers long-lasting value. While the initial cost may be higher than some alternatives, the enduring results often make it the most cost-effective choice over time.
Making It Affordable
We believe everyone deserves to feel confident in their appearance. That’s why we offer flexible payment solutions through respected healthcare financing partners, including customized payment plans with competitive interest rates and extended terms.
Our Transparency Promise
During your consultation, we’ll provide a detailed cost breakdown and thoroughly explain all your financing options. There are no hidden fees—just clear information to help you make an informed decision about your investment in facial rejuvenation.

Chapter 8. Frequently Asked Questions About Deep Plane Facelifts
Is the deep plane facelift right for me?
If you’re noticing sagging skin, deep wrinkles, or loss of volume in your face and are in good overall health, you may be an ideal candidate for a deep plane facelift. Your surgeon will assess your goals and facial structure during a consultation to help determine if this procedure is the best option for you.
What makes the deep plane technique different from other facelifts?
The deep plane technique addresses aging at a deeper level than traditional facelifts, releasing and repositioning facial tissues for more natural-looking, longer-lasting results. This advanced approach allows for comprehensive rejuvenation while avoiding the tight, pulled appearance sometimes associated with other facelift techniques.
How long does recovery take?
Most patients return to normal activities within 1-2 weeks, but full recovery usually takes 4-8 weeks. During this time, swelling, bruising, tightness, and numbness gradually subside. Your Quintessa team will guide you through the recovery process to ensure everything goes smoothly.
Will I have visible scars?
Incisions are strategically placed in discreet locations, such as along the hairline, under the chin, and behind the ears. As incisions go through a maturation process they become less noticeable, and most patients find that scars are minimal or nearly invisible. Patients should be able to wear their hair in a ponytail with confidence.
How long do the results last?
The deep plane facelift provides long-lasting results, often 10-15 years. While aging continues after the procedure, the rejuvenated contours and youthful volume can last significantly longer than traditional facelift methods.
When can I return to social activities?
Most patients feel comfortable returning to social situations within 2-3 weeks after surgery. While some residual swelling may be present, it’s typically subtle enough that only you and your surgeon will notice. Many patients find they can confidently attend social events with minimal makeup by this time.
How should I prepare for my facelift?
We recommend preparing both physically and logistically. Stop smoking at least four weeks before surgery, avoid blood-thinning medications as directed, and arrange for help during your initial recovery period. Our team will provide you with a comprehensive pre-surgery checklist and guide you through each step of preparation.
What kind of results can I expect?
You can expect natural-looking rejuvenation that enhances your features while maintaining your unique facial characteristics. The goal is to help you look like a refreshed, more youthful version of yourself – not like a different person. Results typically include improved jaw definition, reduced jowling, restored cheek volume, and a more youthful neck contour.
