He emphasizes that this advanced technique is designed to produce more natural-looking results and achieve longer-lasting facial rejuvenation, while also promoting more natural facial movement post-surgery. His expertise in this specialized procedure is further highlighted by his inclusion in global directories of surgeons performing deep plane facelifts.

What recent patients say
5.0 / 5 · 109 Google reviewsDr. Urban is amazing! He is so patient and kind. Very knowledgeable and diligent with his work. He was extremely flexible with his hours to accommodate my 3 year old who needed stitches. We cannot thank and recommend him enough!
First time I met Dr Urban and his staff. I was amazed at how they were professional, friendly, down to earth, and the doctor was very talented. Oh, was explained what he was going to do, and made it look easy. Just finished up my follow up visit to have sutures removed and now I’m good to go If ever, I required a plastic surgeon in the future, I would definitely come back here.
Dr. Urban was thorough in his examination and very straightforward and kind. He showed me pictures and explained exactly what to expect during and after the potential procedure. He came highly recommended. The two girls at the front desk were also so friendly and kind!
I saw Dr. Urban, Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, due to Mohs procedure on my nose which required reconstruction. Dr. Urban is without a doubt the best doctor I have experienced in my 59 years. Most doctors believe their time is more valuable than the patient but with Dr. Urban that is quite the opposite. He has been the only doctor that has ever apologized for being late to an appointment and he was only “1” minute late due to a prior appointment running over. In my consultation and surgery, he explained everything he was going to do to my nose and why certain plastic surgery techniques would be used. He was patient and made sure I was comfortable not only by answering all my questions but also made sure I was comfortable during my surgery. Lastly, after my surgery he said he would check in on me that night or the next day and to my surprised when my phone rang that evening it was Dr. Urban checking in on me (not a nurse like most times I’ve received follow ups if I received a call at all). I would definitely recommend Dr. Urban if you require nose reconstruction plastic surgery!

Dr. Urban's Surgical Approach
Dr. Matthew Urban approaches the deep plane facelift as a procedure that works beneath the skin, targeting the deeper structural layers of the face.
Dr. Matthew Urban approaches the deep plane facelift as a procedure that works beneath the skin, targeting the deeper structural layers of the face. This philosophy separates modern deep plane surgery from older techniques that tightened skin alone.
The central structure in this operation is the SMAS (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a fibrous layer of tissue and muscle beneath the skin). In a deep plane facelift, the surgeon works below this layer rather than simply pulling it tight.
