Tri-Nova Deep Plane Facelift overview
What is the Tri-Nova Deep Plane Facelift?
The Tri-Nova Deep Plane Facelift is Dr. Palmer's signature innovation in facial rejuvenation, an advanced evolution of the deep plane facelift. While traditional facelifts primarily tighten surface-level skin, and standard deep plane lifts treat deeper layers as a single unit, the Tri-Nova divides these structures into three independent segments for superior, customizable results.
Dr. Palmer's specialized technique surgically divides the SMAS and platysmal deep plane flap into three distinct segments, each independently lifted and repositioned for maximum rejuvenation.
Unlike other techniques, the Tri-Nova does not rely on stretching skin to produce results. After the youthful framework is restored through three-vector repositioning, Dr. Palmer gently recontours the skin and fat to complete your transformation.

Types of facelifts
The deep plane facelift is the gold standard for facial rejuvenation, offering superior and longer-lasting results compared to traditional techniques. Dr. Palmer has advanced this technique by creating the Tri-Nova Deep Plane Facelift—the evolution of facial plastic surgery.
While standard deep plane facelifts treat deeper facial structures as a single unit, the Tri-Nova divides these tissues into three independent segments—lower (neck), middle (jawline), and upper (lower face). Each segment is repositioned separately to maximize rejuvenation in its specific zone.
Lower segment creates dramatic neck rejuvenation by eliminating platysmal banding, tightening loose neck skin, and producing a longer, smoother neck profile.
Middle segment transforms the jawline by creating sharp, defined contours, tightening the submental region, and eliminating jowls.
Upper segment rejuvenates the lower face by lifting and restoring midface volume, softening deep nasolabial folds, and creating natural cheek projection.
The Tri-Nova can be seamlessly combined with blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), brow lift, laser resurfacing, or fat grafting for complete facial rejuvenation.
Devoted care at every step
What to expect before and during your Tri-Nova lift
During your consultation, Dr. Palmer will evaluate your facial anatomy, discuss your aesthetic goals in detail, explain how the three-vector approach will be customized for your face, and finalize your treatment plan. Medically necessary tests may include bloodwork or an EKG and medical clearance for people over age 60.
On the day of your operation, you will spend up to six hours in our accredited facility. Your surgery will be performed under IV Sedation, not general anesthesia. Using intravenous sedation allows patients to experience a completely pain-free surgery while still controlling their breathing and body functions, making it both safer and easier to recover from.
The Tri-Nova lift uses the same well-hidden incision pattern as Dr. Palmer's traditional facelift. No additional incisions are necessary, and scars remain barely visible. No surgical drains are required, a significant comfort advantage.
After the procedure, you will need to arrange for a trusted chaperone to drive you home. Support during your first few days of recovery is recommended.
Better results. Faster recovery
Tri-Nova Lift results and recovery process
Despite its advanced nature, the healing and recovery from the Tri-Nova Lift is no different from a traditional or standard deep plane facelift. The Tri-Nova technique does not require post-operative drains. Incisions are expertly hidden inside the ear, behind the ear, and inside the hairline, resulting in virtually invisible scars.
This precise technique allows for a quick and less painful recovery, with improvements visible within a week of surgery.
After your Tri-Nova deep plane facelift, expect to:
Avoid strenuous activities for two to three weeks
Take one to two weeks off work
See initial results within two to three weeks
Notice final results after swelling subsides in four to six weeks
Average recovery time is 7-10 days before returning to normal activities. The Tri-Nova provides exceptional longevity, with most patients enjoying their rejuvenated appearance for 12-15 years or more. Because this technique addresses structural support in three independent vectors rather than simply pulling skin, results age more naturally and gracefully.

Tri-Nova Lift FAQ
While standard deep plane facelifts treat deeper facial structures as a single unit, the Tri-Nova Lift divides these tissues into three independent segments: lower (neck), middle (jawline), and upper (lower face). Each segment is repositioned separately to maximize rejuvenation in its specific zone, allowing for superior customization and more comprehensive results.
The Tri-Nova Lift provides exceptional longevity, with most patients enjoying their rejuvenated appearance for 12-15 years or more. Because this technique addresses deeper structural layers in three independent vectors rather than just pulling skin, results age more gracefully than traditional facelifts, which typically last 7-10 years.
Our goal is to keep you looking like yourself, just refreshed and rejuvenated. The Tri-Nova Lift's three-vector approach restores your natural facial structure rather than creating an artificial appearance. Because the technique addresses structural support beneath the skin rather than relying on skin tension, results look natural and harmonious with your unique features.
Non-surgical options like dermal fillers, thread lifts, and radiofrequency treatments can provide rejuvenation for early signs of aging. However, when you have significant skin laxity, jowls, neck banding, or loss of structural support, only surgery can deliver truly transformative results. The Tri-Nova Lift is ideal for patients who want comprehensive, long-lasting correction that non-surgical treatments cannot achieve.
Incisions are strategically placed inside the ear, behind the ear, and within the hairline... areas where they're naturally hidden. With proper healing and Dr. Palmer's meticulous closure technique, scars fade to barely visible fine lines that are virtually undetectable.
No, the Tri-Nova Lift is considered a cosmetic, elective procedure and is not covered by insurance. However, Palmer Cosmetic Surgery offers a wide array of financing options designed to make your transformation accessible and affordable.
