Dr. Baylis's Surgical Approach
Dr. Henry I.
Dr. Henry I. Baylis approaches the deep plane facelift by working beneath the SMAS (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a layer of connective tissue and muscle that supports the face). This distinguishes the deep plane technique from older methods that tightened skin alone.
The deep plane facelift involves dissection below the SMAS layer, releasing the ligaments that tether facial tissues as they descend with age. By freeing these attachments, the surgeon can reposition the deeper tissues rather than simply pulling the surface.
