Dr. Watumull specializes in the deep plane facelift, an advanced surgical technique that repositions the deeper facial tissues rather than simply tightening the skin. This method targets the SMAS (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a layer of muscle and connective tissue beneath the skin) for longer-lasting rejuvenation.
His clinical interests extend beyond primary facelift surgery to revision procedures, an area that requires refined judgment and technical precision. Revision work involves correcting or improving results from earlier operations, and it demands an understanding of altered anatomy.

What recent patients say
5.0 / 5 · 300 Google reviewsDr. Watumull and his staff were amazing to work with. I was not an easy case as I needed a clean out from leaking implants, removal of old implants, new implants with supports, and a lift. They were always available to answer questions and help me through the entire process. I am very pleased with the end results! Can’t recommend them enough!!
Dr. Watumull was amazing from start to finish. I am extremely happy with the outcome. He goes off of research and stays up with new studies and procedures. I cannot recommend him enough.
I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Dr. Watumull and his entire team. I spent nearly a year researching surgeons before finding him, and after our first meeting I knew without hesitation that he was the right choice. I’ve had several breast surgeries over the years—most of them attempts to correct a botched lift from more than 20 years ago that left my nipples and breasts misshaped. After recently losing a significant amount of weight, I decided to see if anything could be done to improve their appearance. I wasn’t expecting a miracle; I was simply hoping for a modest improvement. After meeting with several highly regarded surgeons in different states, I was beginning to accept that my breasts were as good as they were going to get. Then I came across Dr. Watumull’s website and scheduled one more consultation. Unlike others who told me there wasn’t much that could be done, Dr. Watumull took the time to walk me through every option. He was honest about the risks of nipple revision, yet confident in his ability to significantly improve both the shape of my nipples and the overall appearance of my breasts. I ultimately chose to have a breast lift with implants, an internal mesh-bra, and nipple reshaping. Six months later, my results are beyond anything I ever imagined. My breasts and nipples look amazing, and I feel like a completely new woman. The confidence I’ve gained is truly life-changing. From my first consultation through every follow-up visit, Dr. Watumull and his staff were exceptional—professional, compassionate, and genuinely invested in my outcome. I am thrilled with my results and will wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Watumull to anyone considering plastic surgery.
Dr. Watumull and his staff were amazing. He listened to exactly what I wanted and superexceeded my expectations. Thank you for fixing me up! I highly recommend Dr. Watumull for any of your cosmetic needs.

Dr. Watumull's Surgical Approach
Dr. Denton Watumull approaches the deep plane facelift by working beneath the skin at the level of the SMAS, the superficial musculoaponeurotic system that forms a layer of muscle and connective tissue supporting the face.
Dr. Denton Watumull approaches the deep plane facelift by working beneath the skin at the level of the SMAS, the superficial musculoaponeurotic system that forms a layer of muscle and connective tissue supporting the face. This deeper approach distinguishes the technique from older skin-only methods.
In a traditional facelift, the surgeon tightens the skin while leaving the deeper structures largely undisturbed. The deep plane facelift instead involves sub-SMAS dissection — releasing and repositioning the muscle and fat layers together with the skin as a single composite unit.
