Dr. Levin'S PERSPECTIVES
AI-assisted profile summarySignature technique
Dr. Marc Levin specializes in the deep plane facelift, a sophisticated surgical technique representing a significant advancement in facial rejuvenation. This method goes beyond superficial skin tightening by addressing the underlying SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) layer, allowing for the repositioning of facial tissues at their deepest structural level. This approach effectively targets mid-face descent, jowl formation, and neck laxity by releasing and carefully repositioning deeper facial structures. Unlike traditional methods that might create a "pulled" appearance, the deep plane technique restores youthful facial contours while preserving natural expressions, yielding results that appear more natural and last considerably longer.

What recent patients say
5.0 / 5 · 33 Google reviewsDr. Levin is the absolute nicest and most patient surgeon I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. I had a wonderful consultation for facial rejuvenation with him. As soon our schedules allow, I will proceed with surgery with him. His assistant is also very kind, and very attentive to answering communication. Definitely a wonderful experience!
I have seen Dr. Levin a couple times for Botox and Fillers. He is incredibly patient and takes his time to be sure it’s right. I love the refreshed look he gave me while still looking natural! He gave me exactly what I asked for.
Highly recommend! Went to see Dr.Levin and he was phenomenal. His expertise, precision and patient care are truly exceptional. He explained everything clearly and made me feel completely confident. I will be a repeat patient!
Marc was an incredible surgeon but beyond doing an amazing job on my lower belph and fat transfer, he stuck with me the entire process. Answering every concern or question I had with patience, ease and confidence. I knew he’d do a good job with my results, but I was most impressed with his level of care and kindness to my actual experience. 10/10 would recommend him to anyone. The absolute best. - Ricki
