Dr. Levine emphasizes that this technique requires extensive anatomical knowledge and surgical precision, distinguishing it from traditional facelift methods. The deep plane approach is valued for its ability to produce natural-looking and typically longer-lasting results, aligning with her commitment to refined facial rejuvenation.

Dr. Levine's Surgical Approach
Dr. Jennifer Levine approaches the deep plane facelift by working beneath the skin at the level of the SMAS, the supportive layer of muscle and connective tissue that gives the face its structure.
Dr. Jennifer Levine approaches the deep plane facelift by working beneath the skin at the level of the SMAS, the supportive layer of muscle and connective tissue that gives the face its structure. This distinguishes the deep plane technique from older methods that focused primarily on the skin surface.
The SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) is a continuous sheet of tissue that connects the facial muscles to the overlying skin. As facial aging progresses, this layer descends, contributing to jowls and midface flattening.
