PERSPECTIVES FROM Dr. Casanueva

AI-assisted profile summary
natural-lookinglong-lastingdeep-planeanatomical-repositioningcomprehensive

Signature technique

Dr. Casanueva's signature technique is the deep plane facelift, a sophisticated approach to facial rejuvenation that he offers at his clinic. This method involves meticulously repositioning the deeper facial structures, specifically addressing the sub-SMAS layer, rather than merely tightening superficial tissues. His philosophy behind this technique is to achieve more comprehensive and potentially longer-lasting results by correcting midface descent, jowl formation, and neck laxity through a single, integrated procedure. This distinguishes his practice, focusing on advanced lifting techniques and structural facial procedures to ensure natural-looking outcomes through careful tissue manipulation and anatomical repositioning.

Ask Dr. Casanueva about the technique

Recovery view

Dr. Casanueva emphasizes a comprehensive approach to patient care that extends significantly beyond the operating room, particularly focusing on optimizing recovery outcomes for facial plastic surgery. His clinic integrates specialized kinesiology services, which are specifically tailored to aid in facial plastic surgery recovery. This multidisciplinary strategy ensures that patients receive coordinated care throughout their entire surgical journey, from the initial procedure through the crucial post-operative phase. By combining surgical expertise with these specialized postoperative care protocols, Dr. Casanueva aims to support patients effectively, facilitating a smoother and more efficient healing process. This integrated approach underscores his commitment to patient well-being and successful long-term results.

Who is a candidate

During this crucial initial phase, he engages with prospective patients to discuss and establish realistic surgical goals, ensuring alignment between patient expectations and achievable outcomes. He recognizes that individual factors play a significant role in surgical planning, specifically considering elements such as skin quality, underlying bone structure, and the unique patterns of aging present in each patient. This personalized assessment allows Dr. Casanueva to tailor the surgical plan effectively, optimizing for safety and desired aesthetic results.

His medical education is attributed to Universidad McGill in Canada, an institution recognized internationally for its rigorous academic standards. This foundation shapes his stated commitment to evidence-based, scientifically grounded care.

Dr. Casanueva specializes in the deep plane facelift, a technique widely regarded as one of the most advanced approaches to natural facial rejuvenation. The procedure works beneath the SMAS (the superficial muscular aponeurotic system, a supportive layer of tissue in the face) to reposition deeper structures.

His clinic, Clínica del Dr. Fernando Casanueva, presents facial plastic surgery as a discipline requiring precision, safety, and naturalness. This philosophy is reflected across his published treatment offerings.

Beyond the deep plane facelift, Dr. Casanueva performs rhinoplasty — both aesthetic and functional — a procedure he highlights prominently in his professional communications. Ultrasonic rhinoplasty appears among his stated areas of interest.

His surgical menu also includes blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), addressing both upper eyelids and lower eyelids with attention to under-eye hollows. These procedures often complement a facelift for balanced results.

Mentoplasty, or chin surgery, forms another part of his practice. Chin refinement can meaningfully improve the harmony of the lower face and profile.

Dr. Casanueva offers the lip lift, a procedure that shortens the space between the nose and upper lip. This subtle change can restore a more youthful proportion to the central face.

Cervical contouring surgery — addressing the neck and the area beneath the jaw — rounds out his focus on the lower face. Neck rejuvenation frequently accompanies deep plane facelift work for a cohesive outcome.

His clinic emphasizes specialized post-operative physiotherapy, described as facial kinesiology. This structured approach to recovery is intended to support healing and comfort after surgery.

Dr. Casanueva's approach centers on natural, lasting results rather than an over-tightened appearance. The deep plane technique, by repositioning tissue rather than pulling skin, is associated with this natural aesthetic.

Patients considering facial rejuvenation in Santiago will find that Dr. Casanueva presents his work through a single-surgeon clinic model. This structure often allows for continuity of care from consultation through recovery.

His presence on Instagram, under the handle drfernandocasanueva, showcases his emphasis on rhinoplasty and deep plane facelift surgery. Social platforms increasingly serve as a window into a surgeon's aesthetic sensibility.

For women exploring facial aging solutions in Chile, Dr. Casanueva represents an established option within Santiago's community of facial plastic surgeons. His combined training in otolaryngology and facial plastic surgery informs his surgical perspective.

Reviews typically reference communication, surgical outcome, bedside manner, and post-operative support. Patients who complete a deep plane facelift can also leave structured reviews on their DEEPPLANE™ profile, which include separate star ratings for result quality, recovery support, and value.
Where is Dr. Casanueva located?
Dr. Casanueva practices at Clínica del Dr. Fernando Casanueva in Santiago, Chile. The clinic welcomes both local and international patients travelling for deep plane facelift surgery. Visit the official clinic website for the full street address, parking details, and directions from the nearest international airport. International patients can arrange a virtual consultation before traveling to review candidacy, treatment plan, and pricing.
What is the recovery time for a deep plane facelift?
Recovery from a deep plane facelift typically involves 2-3 weeks of initial healing, with most visible bruising resolving within 7-10 days and sutures removed at days 7-10. International patients can generally travel home after 10-14 days once swelling has stabilised and wound checks are complete. Most patients return to desk work at 2-3 weeks and to exercise at 4-6 weeks. Final results become visible after 3-6 months as deep tissue swelling fully resolves. Dr. Casanueva provides a personalised recovery timeline during consultation.
How long do deep plane facelift results last?
Deep plane facelift results typically last 10-15 years, significantly longer than traditional SMAS or mini-facelift procedures, which tend to last 5-8 years. The deep plane technique repositions deeper facial tissues (including the SMAS-platysma composite and the released retaining ligaments) rather than simply tightening skin, which produces more natural, longer-lasting rejuvenation. Longevity also depends on individual ageing biology, sun exposure, smoking status, and skincare. Dr. Casanueva can discuss expected outcomes for your anatomy during consultation.
How experienced is Dr. Casanueva with deep plane facelifts?
Dr. Casanueva has 15+ years of clinical experience in facial plastic surgery. Deep plane facelift is a signature procedure within the clinical practice.

Photos have been collated from public clinic sources. When reviewing galleries, look for patients with facial anatomy similar to yours and for results photographed at least 3-6 months post-op, when final swelling has resolved.
