The deep plane facelift performed by Dr. Marcelo Furlan works beneath the skin's surface to reposition the deeper structural tissues of the face. This distinguishes it from traditional facelifts that primarily tighten skin alone.
Central to the technique is the SMAS layer — the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a sheet of muscle and connective tissue that supports the face. In a deep plane approach, this layer is released and lifted rather than merely folded or stitched.
