Dr. Arslanoğlu's Surgical Approach
Dr. Ahmet Arslanoğlu approaches the deep plane facelift as a structural procedure rather than a surface correction.
Dr. Ahmet Arslanoğlu approaches the deep plane facelift as a structural procedure rather than a surface correction. The technique targets the deeper anatomy of the face to reposition tissue that has descended with age.
At the heart of the operation is the SMAS — the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a continuous layer of muscle and connective tissue lying beneath the skin. In a deep plane facelift, the surgeon works beneath this layer rather than pulling on the skin surface.
