Dr. Szachowicz went above and beyond for my consultation with him. He was incredibly thorough, explained things clearly, and thought really carefully about what plan was best for me. He went so far as to discuss a question I had with other ENT surgeons at a conference and follow up with a hand-written card in the mail. I highly recommend his clinic!

Dr. Szachowicz exceeds every expectation. His depth of knowledge, meticulous attention to detail, and dedication to achieving the best possible outcomes are evident in every aspect of his care. The cleanliness and organization of his office reflect the same level of excellence.

Dr. Szachowicz's Surgical Approach

Dr. Edward Szachowicz approaches the deep plane facelift as a structural procedure that works beneath the skin rather than on its surface.

Dr. Edward Szachowicz approaches the deep plane facelift as a structural procedure that works beneath the skin rather than on its surface. The technique targets the deeper foundational tissues of the face for results intended to look natural and lasting.

Central to this method is the SMAS, the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, which is a layer of muscle and fibrous tissue that supports the cheeks, jawline, and neck. As facial aging progresses, this layer descends, contributing to jowls and midface flattening.
