Deep Plane Facelift.
A deep plane facelift repositions the deeper structural layers of the face for a natural, lasting result. Performed by Dr. Kassis.
Is this right for you?
The deep plane facelift is for patients who want facial rejuvenation that still looks like them. It is often a good fit for those who:
Notice sagging in the midface, jawline, or neck.
Want to restore facial contours, not just tighten skin.
Prefer a natural result that keeps their expression.
Want a longer-lasting result that addresses the deeper layers of the face.
A natural, architectural release.
The deep plane facelift addresses the structural changes of facial aging, not just the surface. As the face ages, deeper changes occur beneath the skin: descent of facial tissues, loss of midface support, and the development of jowls and deeper folds.
Dr. Kassis releases the ligaments and repositions the deeper layers, allowing the skin to redrape naturally over a restored foundation.

What is a deep plane facelift?
A deep plane facelift is a surgical technique that repositions the deeper structural layers of the face, including the SMAS and supporting ligaments. Because it works below the skin, the result looks natural and balanced.
How is it different from a traditional facelift?
A traditional facelift mainly tightens the skin and the layer just beneath it. A deep plane facelift works deeper, repositioning the underlying structures of the face. Dr. Kassis will explain which approach fits your anatomy and goals.
Who is a good candidate?
Most candidates notice sagging in the midface, jawline, or neck and want a natural result that still looks like them. The best way to know is to complete the new patient paperwork so Dr. Kassis can review your case.
