Dr. Haranaka'S PERSPECTIVES
AI-assisted profile summarySignature technique
Dr. Haranaka's practice focuses on the deep plane facelift, an approach involving comprehensive repositioning of facial tissues beneath the SMAS layer. This technique aims for natural-looking results and potentially longer longevity compared to traditional methods. The procedure requires extensive anatomical knowledge of facial muscles, ligaments, and fat compartments. This deep plane methodology is designed to preserve natural facial expressions while effectively addressing signs of aging.

Dr. Haranaka's practice reflects a broader interest in longevity and wellness. Through interviews and educational videos, she has discussed nutrition, gut health, and lifestyle factors that influence how the face ages over time.
A deep plane facelift differs from traditional methods by working beneath the SMAS (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a layer of muscle and connective tissue in the face). This allows for tissue repositioning that can appear more natural.

What recent patients say
4.4 / 5 · 142 Google reviewsFui atendida pela Dra. Jacqueline Haranaka Silveira e simplesmente não tenho palavras para descrever o quanto ela é excelente. Durante a consulta, explicou tudo com calma, detalhe por detalhe, e traduziu vários termos médicos de forma clara e acessível. Foi extremamente atenciosa, paciente e cuidadosa, algo raro de encontrar. Sem exagero, foi a melhor médica com quem já consultei na vida. Cada minuto e cada centavo valeram totalmente a pena. Antes dela, eu estava acompanhando com outra profissional que cobrava R$ 600 por mês e receitava mais de R$ 3.000 em medicamentos, e mesmo assim eu não via nenhuma melhora. Já a Dra. Jacqueline deixou claro que o retorno poderia ser feito em 6 meses, mostrando que realmente se importa com o bem-estar do paciente — e não com o dinheiro. Saí da consulta finalmente me sentindo acolhida, compreendida e confiando no tratamento. Recomendo de olhos fechados! A equipe de atendimento também merece todo o reconhecimento. Desde o primeiro contato, foram extremamente educados, prestativos e organizados. Responderam minhas dúvidas com clareza, sempre com muita paciência e cordialidade. O atendimento foi rápido, eficiente e acolhedor — algo que faz toda a diferença na experiência como paciente. É evidente que trabalham com profissionalismo e cuidado, criando um ambiente tranquilo e confiável. Assim como a Dra. Jacqueline, a equipe demonstra respeito e empatia, tornando todo o processo muito mais leve. Só tenho elogios! Ela deveria aparecer mais no YouTube tbm. Rsrsrs

Dr. Haranaka's Surgical Approach
Dr. Katia Haranaka approaches the deep plane facelift as a structural procedure that works beneath the skin's surface.
Dr. Katia Haranaka approaches the deep plane facelift as a structural procedure that works beneath the skin's surface. This distinguishes it from older techniques that primarily tightened the skin itself.
The deep plane technique focuses on the SMAS layer — the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a sheet of muscle and fibrous tissue that supports the face. As we age, this layer descends, contributing to jowls and midface flattening.
