Deep Plane Lifting specialist in Barcelona

Dr. David Neagu

My name is David Neagu and I dedicate myself exclusively to plastic surgery of the face. My work is to rejuvenate your face and neck in a natural, harmonious way, avoiding the artificial look of the traditional facelift.

For this I use the technique I have specialised in: the Deep Plane Lift, a surgery that has transformed comprehensive facial rejuvenation. To master it I trained directly with some of the most prestigious surgeons in the world, in the United States and Germany, and today I share that experience as a speaker at international congresses.

The technique

The three keys of Deep Plane Lifting

Not just another facelift: it works the face at depth, respects your biology and the results last for years.

01

Deep plane, not just skin

We work the face at a much deeper anatomical level than the traditional facelift. This lets us suspend and restore elasticity naturally, without that feeling of excessive skin tension.

02

Comprehensive rejuvenation

Every tissue regains its elasticity: nasolabial folds, cheeks, jawline and neck. A comprehensive concept that is changing facial aesthetic surgery.

03

Longer-lasting results

By repositioning ligaments, muscle and skin together, the result is gentler on your biology — it keeps your expression and lasts for years.

What is the operation like?

It is done on an outpatient basis, under local anaesthesia and monitored sedation, with no hospital stay. You return to normal life in 7-10 days, pain-free and with minimal scars hidden in the folds around the ears.

Why have your surgery with me?

Because I am a specialist in maxillofacial surgery and have always dedicated myself exclusively to the face, from bone to skin. I trained in the Deep Plane at the most prestigious centres in the world, and I will advise you as I would my own family.

How I see a consultation

“What flaws do you see?”

It's a question I hear very often. And many times my answer is: nothing significant.

I don't look for problems

I don't believe in looking for problems just to justify surgery, or in recommending unnecessary procedures just to operate more.

“You don't need surgery”

I believe in saying “you don't need surgery” when that's the right answer. And when there is something that can genuinely improve your appearance, I'll explain what it is, what we can realistically achieve, and its limitations.

Realistic expectations

The goal of a consultation is not to make you feel worse about yourself. It's to leave with honest information, confidence, and realistic expectations.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ — Facelift Barcelona

What is a facelift and how does it work?
A facelift is a cosmetic surgery that corrects sagging and the signs of ageing in the face and neck by repositioning the tissues and the skin, giving a more rejuvenated, natural look.
Which facelift techniques are performed at Facelift Barcelona?
Advanced techniques such as the Deep Plane Lift and other variants adapted to each case are used to achieve natural, long-lasting results.
Why choose Facelift Barcelona for my procedure?
Because of the specific experience in facelift surgery, state-of-the-art technology, personalised care and a comprehensive approach that prioritises safety, aesthetic results and a proper recovery.
How much does a facelift cost in Spain and at Facelift Barcelona?
The price of a facelift varies depending on the technique, the complexity of the case and the services included (anaesthesia, hospital stay, follow-up). We offer personalised assessments for detailed quotes.
What results can I expect from a facelift?
A firmer, more youthful appearance, with visible improvement in the contours of the face and neck. Naturalness and durability depend on the technique chosen and on aftercare.
What is the initial facelift consultation like?
During the consultation your facial anatomy, expectations and general health are assessed, the recommended surgical plan is explained, and risks, benefits, recovery times and prices are discussed.
What recovery times are usual after a facelift?
Initial recovery can take 10 to 14 days, with swelling and bruising gradually subsiding. Most patients resume their usual activities within this period, although full recovery can take several weeks.
Is facelift surgery painful?
The procedure is performed under anaesthesia, so there is no pain during surgery. Afterwards there may be discomfort that is controlled with the medication prescribed by the surgeon.
What are the risks of a facelift?
As with any surgery, there are possible risks such as infection, haematoma or healing problems. Choosing an experienced, medically certified team significantly reduces these risks.
Can I combine a facelift with other aesthetic treatments?
Yes, many patients choose to combine the facelift with complementary procedures such as blepharoplasty, dermal fillers or laser treatments for a more comprehensive rejuvenation.
