Dr. Truesdale's Surgical Approach
Dr. Carl Truesdale approaches the deep plane facelift by releasing and repositioning the deeper structural layers of the face rather than pulling the skin tight.
Dr. Carl Truesdale approaches the deep plane facelift by releasing and repositioning the deeper structural layers of the face rather than pulling the skin tight. This method targets the underlying tissues that descend with age, aiming for a result that looks natural in motion and at rest.
The central concept is work beneath the SMAS, the superficial musculoaponeurotic system. This is a continuous layer of muscle and connective tissue that supports the cheeks and jawline, and it loosens and drops over time as part of facial aging.
