Frequently Asked Questions About Dr. Kristina Marrelli

What procedures does Dr. Kristina Marrelli specialize in?
Dr. Kristina Marrelli specializes in deep plane facelift surgery, neck lift, and facial rejuvenation, practicing in Canada.

Dr. Kristina Marrelli is an experienced facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon based in Calgary, Canada, specializing in procedures that restore youthful facial contours.
Is Dr. Marrelli board certified?
Dr. Marrelli is listed as board-certified by ABFPRS, based on publicly available information such as clinic websites, medical society directories, and official registries.

How much does a deep plane facelift cost in Canada?
Dr. Marrelli has not published a deep plane facelift price on DEEPPLANE™. The DEEPPLANE estimate for Canada is $16,000–$30,000 (≈ CA$22,000–CA$41,000 CAD): our editorial estimate, not this surgeon's quote. Your price is set in a written quote after consultation; ask for it itemized and compare it with our country cost guide.

Patients who have undergone a deep plane facelift can share their experience through our structured review system, which collects separate ratings for surgical outcome, communication, recovery support, and overall value to help future patients make informed decisions.
Where is Dr. Marrelli located?
Dr. Marrelli practices at University of Calgary in Calgary, Canada. The clinic welcomes both local and international patients travelling for deep plane facelift surgery. Request the full clinic address and directions during your initial inquiry. 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. Marrelli 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. Marrelli can discuss expected outcomes for your anatomy during consultation.
How experienced is Dr. Marrelli with deep plane facelifts?
Dr. Marrelli has 20+ years of clinical experience in facial plastic surgery. Deep plane facelift is a signature procedure within the clinical practice.

High-volume specialisation is one of the strongest predictors of complication-free outcomes.
