About

Dr. Giancarlo Cantella, a Brussels surgeon with more than 20 years of experience, is listed on DeepPlane.com as a deep plane facelift surgeon practising in Belgium's capital. As of November 2026, the profile records medical education at Université Catholique de Louvain and a private practice offering facial, breast and aesthetic procedures.

Experience is the clearest data point DeepPlane holds for Dr. Cantella. Two decades in surgical practice give a long view of how facelift techniques, including the deep plane approach, have changed over time.

Read more ▾

Université Catholique de Louvain, one of Belgium's oldest universities, is listed as the institution where Dr. Cantella received medical education. Its faculty of medicine is based in Brussels at the Woluwe campus, alongside the Cliniques universitaires Saint-Luc teaching hospital.

DeepPlane holds no board certification record for Dr. Cantella at this time. That is a gap in our records, not a finding about the surgeon. You can check certification directly with the relevant Belgian and European professional bodies before booking.

The practice website at drcantella.com lists facelift surgery first among its facial specialties. The site also describes neck lift, temporal lift, fat injection, upper lip lift, eyelid surgery, buccal fat removal, rhinoplasty and ear correction, which places facial rejuvenation at the center of the practice.

A deep plane facelift is a form of rhytidectomy (the surgical term for a facelift) that works beneath the SMAS (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a supportive layer of tissue under the skin). Instead of pulling skin tight, the surgeon releases and lifts deeper tissue as one unit, aiming for natural tissue repositioning.

Facial aging is not only a matter of loose skin. Over time, the cheek fat pads descend, the jawline softens and the neck loses definition. A deep plane approach is designed to address those structural changes at their source rather than at the surface.

Beyond the face, the practice website lists breast surgery, aesthetic medicine and dermatologic surgery. Injectables, PRP (platelet-rich plasma), laser, peels and dermabrasion appear among the non-surgical offerings, which matters if you want skin quality addressed alongside a lift.

The practice website is published in French, English, Italian and Dutch. That multilingual presentation is helpful for international readers, although you should confirm with the practice which languages are spoken during consultation and aftercare.

Surgical approach is a subject to raise directly at consultation. You can ask Dr. Cantella how deep the dissection goes, whether the neck is treated in the same operation, and how fat grafting or laser work might be combined with the lift.

Recovery from a deep plane facelift typically centers on the first two weeks, when swelling and bruising are most visible. Most patients return to social activities within three to four weeks, with refinement continuing for several months. Individual timelines depend on the extent of surgery and personal healing.

Patients considering a facelift in their late fifties or sixties often weigh natural results, a discreet recovery and a surgeon they can reach easily afterward. A Brussels practice offers proximity for patients across Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and Germany, plus direct rail access from London and Paris.

Dr. Cantella's Instagram account, @dr.cantella, offers a further window into the practice. Social media is not a substitute for clinical records, but it can give you a feel for the surgeon's communication style before a consultation.

This DeepPlane.com profile gathers the details recorded for Dr. Giancarlo Cantella in one place. The sections that follow cover surgical methodology, credentials, travel to Brussels, recovery, cost and consultation preparation, so you can approach your decision with clear, balanced information.

I never imagined that treating myself to a deep plane facial and full-face laser treatment for my 65th birthday would lead to such an exceptional experience. This was true both in terms of the final result and the high quality of each step! Before, during, and after, everything was perfect from start to finish. I truly appreciated Dr. Cantella's attentiveness, his clear explanations, his ability to anticipate every practical detail, and his dedication during the follow-up. And to top it all off, his private clinic is a charming house nestled in a lush, peaceful setting, and his close-knit team on the day of the procedure is wonderfully attentive, smiling, and 100% dedicated and caring. It's the kind of personalized service that allows you to approach everything calmly and with complete confidence. For this procedure, I preferred to rely on confidential recommendations from my network rather than the influence of social media. That's why I didn't hesitate to travel from Paris, where I live, to Brussels. I must admit that beyond his excellent reputation and undeniable expertise, Dr. Cantella is, for me, an exceptionally rare and incredibly reliable surgeon. A genuine human touch truly enhances his expertise, which is a real added value! Just two weeks after this double procedure, I'm back in the public eye, delighted, and feeling like a better version of myself. A real birthday present!

Having wanted to undergo facial surgery (a facelift, blepharoplasty, and lipofilling), I chose Dr. Giancarlo Cantella. From the very first consultation, Dr. Cantella puts you at ease. I was particularly struck by his attentiveness, honesty, and professionalism. Dr. Cantella takes the time to explain each step, answers all your questions, and immediately inspires confidence. His goal is not to transform your face, but to rejuvenate it while respecting your individual identity. This was the deciding factor in my choice. The office is perfectly organized, and the reception is warm. The team assisting Dr. Cantella on the day of the surgery is available, caring, and always ready to reassure you. You feel supported before, during, and after the procedure, which is extremely valuable. The postoperative care is impeccable. Dr. Cantella remains present, attentive to the healing process, and takes the necessary time at each check-up. You won't feel like just a number. As for the result, it exceeds my expectations. My friends and family have noticed that I look rested, younger, and in better shape, without being able to pinpoint exactly why. It's precisely what I hoped for: a natural, elegant, and harmonious result, without any artificial effect. Dr. Cantella is a surgeon of exceptional technical skill, but also a deeply compassionate doctor. He combines surgical excellence, a keen sense of aesthetics, and respect for the patient. If you are looking for a specialist capable of achieving a natural result with high-quality support, I recommend him without hesitation. Thank you, Dr. Cantella, and to your entire team, for your professionalism, availability, and kindness.

I hesitated for a long time before having blepharoplasty, then Dr. Cantella was recommended to me. The welcome was friendly and personal, and the explanations were clear and concise. The post-operative care was excellent; everything was done professionally, and I am extremely happy with the result. Thank you!
