Dr. Harmon'S PERSPECTIVES

AI-assisted profile summary
naturalconfidenceun-tightenedexcellence

Signature technique

Dr. Harmon's practice is centered on the deep plane facelift, a specialized surgical technique he mastered through direct training with pioneer Dr. Andrew Jacono. This advanced approach involves lifting multiple layers of facial tissue, including cheek fat, jowls, and underlying muscle and connective tissue, as a cohesive unit. The technique repositions these structures through carefully placed incisions around the ears and hairline, aiming to achieve a natural-looking result. Dr. Harmon emphasizes that this method reduces the likelihood of an over-tightened appearance, ensuring outcomes that are both effective and harmonious with the patient's natural features. He has also published research on the extended deep plane facelift.

He explains that the deep plane technique, which involves lifting tissue in deeper planes, is specifically designed to support the healing process. This approach aims to facilitate results that evolve and settle naturally over a period of several months, rather than appearing immediately final. His guidance ensures patients understand the gradual nature of their transformation and the importance of allowing their body to heal effectively, contributing to the desired natural outcome.

I had a deep plane face lift, neck lift and earlobe reduction. Dr. Harmon was fantastic. Five weeks out and there is no visible scarring. Very happy with my results. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a natural-looking refresh!

Dr. Harmon performed a lower blepharoplasty with fat repositioning and transfer. 10/10, no notes. I am currently two weeks out from surgery and I could not be happier with my results. My under eyes are no longer puffy and my deep, dark tear troughs are non-existent. Recovery has been so easy. I’ve had no pain, minor swelling and very minimal bruising. I appreciate Dr. Harmon’s thoroughness and conservative approach. I have a lot of anxiety around medical procedures and had zero anxiety going into this. Dr. Harmon’s office and medical staff were also fantastic. Start to finish I could not be happier. My only regret is that I didn’t have this done sooner.

I cannot say enough positive things about Dr. Harmon & his office staff. I’d wanted a rhinoplasty for years, but felt hesitant to make the financial commitment and worried about potential risks that come with any surgery. Dr. Harmon made me feel totally at ease, and helped make this decision so easy. I felt comfortable, understood, and completely taken care of with him. I encourage anyone considering a procedure to give Dr. Harmon a visit- you won’t regret it!

Dr. Harmon's Surgical Approach

Dr. Jeff Harmon performs the deep plane facelift by lifting the deeper structural layers of the face together rather than working on skin alone.

Dr. Jeff Harmon performs the deep plane facelift by lifting the deeper structural layers of the face together rather than working on skin alone. This technique traces directly to his fellowship training under Dr. Andrew Jacono, a recognized figure in extended deep plane surgery.

The foundation of this method is the SMAS layer — the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a sheet of muscle and connective tissue that lies beneath the skin and supports the cheeks and jawline. In a deep plane facelift, this layer is released and repositioned.

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.
