About
Practicing in Brazil, Dr. Lucho Montellano is a plastic surgeon who focuses on the deep plane facelift and on facial rejuvenation surgery more broadly. As of October 2026, this DeepPlane.com profile reflects only the information held on record for the surgeon, who shares clinical work publicly on Instagram at @dr.luchomontellano.
Dr. Lucho Montellano is associated with the deep plane facelift, a technique that releases and repositions the deeper facial tissues rather than simply pulling the skin tighter. This approach works at the level of the SMAS (the superficial muscular aponeurotic system, a firm layer of tissue beneath the skin).
The deep plane facelift is often chosen by patients seeking a natural, lasting correction of facial aging. Dr. Lucho Montellano is listed within this category of surgeons on DeepPlane.com, the directory dedicated to this specific technique.

The deep plane facelift that Dr. Lucho Montellano is listed for differs from older skin-only lifts in an important way. By repositioning deeper structures, the technique aims to restore midface volume and jawline definition while keeping tension off the skin surface.
Recovery is a central part of any facelift conversation, and it is one patients explore carefully before surgery. For the deep plane facelift, early swelling and bruising typically give way to a more settled appearance over several weeks, with final refinement unfolding across several months.
