Signature technique

Dr. Buckland's signature approach to facial rejuvenation prominently features the deep plane facelift technique. He incorporates modern surgical methods that specifically address the SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) layer, recognizing its critical role as the fibromuscular tissue supporting facial structure. This advanced procedure involves repositioning deeper facial tissues, which he believes is essential for achieving more pronounced and longer-lasting rejuvenation outcomes compared to traditional facelift techniques. His expertise in this method positions him among a select group of specialists in Sydney, reflecting a commitment to comprehensive and durable facial aesthetic improvements.

Dr. Buckland performed my breast reduction and lift some 8months ago and I can happily report they turned out great. No more back pain. He’s a very skilled surgeon with a great team around him. You’re always made to feel welcome and comfortable, no questions are too much. Would highly recommend if you want that next level of professionalism.

Dr Buckland removed a suspicious skin spot located on my nose, very close to my right eye. The operation was done 12 months ago. Given the size of the skin that had to be removed, the operation included removal of the skin near my ear with delicate skin grafting. After a year, it is not possible to locate actual connection of grafted skin to the skin around it – a testimony to the skillfulness and surgical precision of Dr Buckland. Dr Buckland took time to explain in detail what the procedure entails, including what to expect during operation and recovery. The operation was conducted in the Randwick PoW Hospital - another five-star experience. I thrilled with my results and highly recommend Dr Buckland. The staff from nurses to receptionist are professional, pleasant and efficient.

Deep plane facelift surgery represents an advanced approach to facial rejuvenation that Dr. Buckland may incorporate into his practice alongside traditional techniques. The procedure involves dissecting beneath the SMAS layer to reposition facial tissues at their deepest structural level.

The surgical technique begins with carefully planned incisions that follow natural facial contours. These access points allow the surgeon to work beneath the superficial layers, reaching the deep plane where ligaments attach facial muscles to underlying bone.

Recovery from a deep plane facelift typically involves 2-3 weeks of initial healing, with most visible bruising resolving within 7-10 days and sutures removed at days 7-10. International patients can generally travel home after 10-14 days once swelling has stabilised and wound checks are complete.
