His medical training took place at Vita-Salute San Raffaele University, a respected European institution. This international background shapes an approach that blends technical precision with an aesthetic sensibility attentive to natural-looking results.
The deep plane facelift differs from older techniques because it works beneath the SMAS (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a fibrous layer of tissue and muscle in the face). By lifting this layer as a unit, the method aims to restore youthful contours without an overly pulled appearance.

Dr. Marra's Surgical Approach
Dr. Antonio Marra approaches the deep plane facelift as a structural rejuvenation of the face rather than a superficial skin procedure.
Dr. Antonio Marra approaches the deep plane facelift as a structural rejuvenation of the face rather than a superficial skin procedure. His method centers on working beneath the SMAS (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a supportive layer of muscle and fibrous tissue that gives the face its shape).
In a deep plane facelift, the surgeon releases the ligaments that anchor this layer to the underlying structures. Dr. Marra performs a sub-SMAS dissection — meaning he works underneath this layer to free it as a single composite unit of skin, fat, and muscle.
