Dr. Davalos's Surgical Approach
Dr. Efrain Davalos approaches the deep plane facelift by working beneath the SMAS layer (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a sheet of connective tissue and muscle that supports the face).
Dr. Efrain Davalos approaches the deep plane facelift by working beneath the SMAS layer (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a sheet of connective tissue and muscle that supports the face). This deeper method distinguishes his technique from traditional skin-only facelifts.
The deep plane facelift involves what surgeons call sub-SMAS dissection. Rather than lifting only the skin, Dr. Efrain Davalos releases and repositions the deeper composite of tissue as a single unit, allowing the face to be lifted from its structural foundation.
