Dr. Metin's Surgical Approach
Dr. Ulaş Metin approaches the deep plane facelift as a structural procedure that works beneath the skin rather than on its surface.
Dr. Ulaş Metin approaches the deep plane facelift as a structural procedure that works beneath the skin rather than on its surface. The technique targets the deeper connective tissue layers of the face to reposition sagging tissue at its source.
Central to this method is the SMAS, or superficial musculoaponeurotic system — the fibrous layer of tissue and muscle that sits beneath the skin and above the deeper facial structures. In a deep plane facelift, this layer is released and lifted rather than simply pulled tight.
