Dr. Janssen'S PERSPECTIVES
AI-assisted profile summarySignature technique
Dr. Janssen employs a hybrid approach to facial rejuvenation, integrating both traditional deep plane and endoscopic techniques. The deep plane method targets the lower face, jawline, and neck by repositioning tissues beneath the SMAS layer. For midface and brow rejuvenation, endoscopic methods are utilized to minimize visible scarring through hairline incisions. His practice refers to a "HI S-Ponytail Lift," which aims to address concerns like nasolabial folds.
Ask Dr. Janssen about the techniqueRecovery view
Dr. Janssen outlines a structured recovery process for deep plane facelift patients. Initial swelling and bruising are common during the first two weeks post-surgery. Patients are guided through a timeline anticipating a gradual return to normal daily activities. Full resumption of routine is generally expected between three and four weeks. The practice emphasizes managing patient expectations regarding this phased recovery.
Ask Dr. Janssen about your recoveryWho is a candidate
Dr. Janssen evaluates candidates seeking comprehensive facial rejuvenation, particularly those presenting with advanced signs of aging in the lower face, jawline, and neck. The ideal candidate typically desires correction of deeper facial tissues and improvement in skin laxity. The consultation process involves a thorough assessment of individual aging patterns. Surgical planning prioritizes outcomes that maintain natural facial expressions and avoid an "overdone" aesthetic.

What recent patients say
4.5 / 5 · 53 Google reviewsI cannot rate Mr Waterhouse highly enough for his skill, his artistry, his professionalism and - above all - his warm, caring and reassuring manner. As the Tina Turner song goes, Norman, you’re simply the best, and I look, and feel ten years younger, thanks to you!
I trust Dr Janssen with anything and everything regarding aesthetic medicine and procedures! He has the most incredible eye for detail and facial balance and never cuts corners to achieve the best results. He is kind and patient with answering questions about treatments, and really goes above and beyond in his practice.
After consulting with several other doctors, I chose Dr. Janssen to perform a complex scar revision following previous surgery by another doctor that required extensive reconstruction. The entire team took incredible care of me. I’m now a few weeks post-surgery, and I’m so happy with the results. I can’t thank Dr. Janssen enough!

Dr. Janssen's Surgical Approach
Dr. Tim J.
Dr. Tim J. Janssen approaches the deep plane facelift by working beneath the SMAS layer to reposition deeper facial tissues rather than tightening skin alone. The SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) is a supportive sheet of muscle and connective tissue that gives the face its structure and, over time, its sagging.
In a deep plane facelift, dissection proceeds below this SMAS layer. This sub-SMAS approach releases the ligaments that tether the face, allowing the surgeon to lift the midface, jowls and neck as a single, unified unit.
