Dr. Gökhan Uğur approaches the deep plane facelift by working beneath the skin's surface to reposition the deeper structural layers of the face. This method targets the SMAS (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a layer of muscle and connective tissue that supports the facial skin).
The deep plane technique involves what surgeons call sub-SMAS dissection. Rather than lifting the skin away from underlying tissue, Dr. Uğur works to release and elevate the SMAS layer as a single composite unit, keeping skin and deeper tissue connected.
