Dr. Alex Caniglia's approach to deep plane facelift surgery involves precise dissection beneath the SMAS layer to achieve comprehensive facial rejuvenation. This technique differs from traditional facelift methods by releasing and repositioning the deeper facial structures rather than merely tightening superficial tissues.

The deep plane technique specifically addresses the mobility of facial ligaments that anchor the SMAS to underlying structures. By releasing these retaining ligaments, the surgeon can reposition descended facial volume to more youthful anatomical positions without creating tension on the skin.

Recovery from a deep plane facelift typically involves 2-3 weeks of initial healing, with most visible bruising resolving within 7-10 days and sutures removed at days 7-10. International patients can generally travel home after 10-14 days once swelling has stabilised and wound checks are complete.
