Dr. Bertelli'S PERSPECTIVES
AI-assisted profile summarySignature technique
Dr. Pedro Bertelli's practice prominently features the deep plane facelift as a key facial rejuvenation procedure. He utilizes this advanced technique to address facial aging at multiple tissue levels, moving beyond superficial skin tightening. The deep plane methodology involves carefully releasing and repositioning the SMAS layer, which is crucial for structural support beneath the facial skin. This systematic tissue repositioning effectively targets midface descent, jowl formation, and neck laxity, aiming for comprehensive and lasting results. His expertise in this contemporary approach is a cornerstone of his offerings in São Paulo.

Dr. Bertelli's Surgical Approach
Dr. Pedro Bertelli approaches the deep plane facelift as a structural procedure rather than a skin-tightening one.
Dr. Pedro Bertelli approaches the deep plane facelift as a structural procedure rather than a skin-tightening one. The goal is to reposition the deeper tissues of the face so that the result looks natural and rested rather than pulled.
The technique centers on the SMAS layer — the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a sheet of muscle and connective tissue that lies beneath the skin and supports the face. As we age, this layer descends, creating jowls and midface heaviness.
