Dr. Minniti's Surgical Approach

Dr. Gerald Minniti approaches the deep plane facelift by working beneath the skin to reposition the deeper structural layers of the face. This technique moves past surface-level tightening to address the true source of facial aging.
The foundation of the deep plane technique lies in the SMAS (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a continuous layer of muscle and fibrous tissue beneath the skin). In a deep plane facelift, the surgeon works below this layer rather than simply pulling it tight.
