Dr. Chirkova'S PERSPECTIVES
AI-assisted profile summarySignature technique
Dr. Marina Chirkova places a significant emphasis on deep plane facelift surgery as her signature technique for comprehensive facial rejuvenation. She is noted as one of the few surgeons in Moscow offering this advanced procedure, which involves the precise repositioning of the SMAS layer and deeper facial structures. Her approach aims to address concerns such as mid-face sagging, jowls, and neck laxity through careful tissue repositioning, rather than merely tightening the skin. Dr. Chirkova's dedication to this technique reflects a commitment to achieving natural-looking, long-lasting results that preserve authentic facial movement and expression, thereby avoiding the "pulled" appearance sometimes associated with more traditional facelift methods. This advanced technique requires extensive anatomical knowledge and surgical precision, which are central to her practice.

Dr. Chirkova's Surgical Approach

Dr. Marina Chirkova approaches the deep plane facelift by working beneath the SMAS layer rather than simply lifting and tightening the overlying skin. This deeper strategy is what distinguishes the deep plane technique from traditional facelift methods.
The SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) is a sheet of muscle and fibrous tissue that lies between the skin and the deeper facial structures. In a deep plane facelift, the surgeon releases and repositions this layer as a single composite unit.
