Dr. Stong'S PERSPECTIVES
AI-assisted profile summarySignature technique
Dr. Stong's signature procedure is the deep plane facelift, which he has refined into his KalosLift Advanced Deep Plane Facelift, also described as an Elite Extended Deep Plane Facelift. This advanced technique distinguishes itself by addressing the deeper structural layers of the face, rather than merely tightening the skin. By releasing and elevating the SMAS—the superficial musculoaponeurotic system—Dr. Stong is able to reposition foundational tissues. This approach aims to restore youthful contour along the midface, jawline, and neck, creating natural-looking results that avoid a pulled or overly tight appearance. His method focuses on deep tissue repositioning to achieve comprehensive and lasting facial rejuvenation.

The deep plane facelift differs from older methods because it releases and elevates the SMAS (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a supportive layer of muscle and connective tissue beneath the skin).

What recent patients say
4.6 / 5 · 110 Google reviewsThanks so much to Dr. Stong and his staff for making a potentially harmful facial and neck lift procedure into a complete successful experience and outcome. I could not be more delighted with the results.
After investigating facial plastic surgeons in Atlanta, I ended up going to Dr. Ben Stong to remove a lipoma on my forehead and I'm so glad I chose Dr. Stong. Choosing a plastic surgeon to perform surgery on my face was a big decision for me. It was a lipoma right in the center of my forehead so I was very apprehensive about how my face would look after the surgery. I can very happily say that it was a great success and I am very thankful for Dr. Stong and his team. He did an outstanding job and I am completely satisfied with the results. He is easy to talk to, answered all of my questions in detail, and gave me a clear road map as to what all was entailed in the surgical process. The experience wasn't stressful like I thought it was going to be and everything went exactly as he said it would. If I ever need a plastic surgeon in the future, I'll definitely be using Dr. Stong.
Have always had a great experience at Kalos. Wonderful staff and office. Dr. Stong is always professional in a very friendly way, listens, provides his expert opinion, but always respects what you want and delivers with expertise.
As a music artist with the Tom Proctor Band and an actor, I travel a lot. Scar tissue from my kickboxing days had pushed my eyelids down making it difficult for me to stay awake while driving. This procedure was quick with minimal pain. I my recovery time was amazingly quick. I don’t recommend letting someone else advise you on where to get these type of procedures done however, I do advise that you take one consultation meeting with Dr. Stong And you will see why I was immediately confident in him. He will tell you exactly what’s gonna happen and what you will go through and that is exactly what will happen and You will go through!

Dr. Stong's Surgical Approach
Dr. Benjamin Stong performs the deep plane facelift by working beneath the SMAS layer to reposition facial tissue at its structural foundation.
Dr. Benjamin Stong performs the deep plane facelift by working beneath the SMAS layer to reposition facial tissue at its structural foundation. The SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) is the network of muscle and connective tissue that supports the skin of the face.
In a deep plane rhytidectomy (the medical term for a facelift), the surgeon releases the ligaments that anchor this deeper layer. This allows the tissue to be lifted and repositioned as a single unit rather than pulling the skin alone.
