Dr. Duplechain'S PERSPECTIVES
AI-assisted profile summarySignature technique
Dr. J. Kevin Duplechain's signature technique is the deep plane facelift surgery, a procedure for which he is board-certified and widely recognized across Louisiana. This advanced method is central to his clinical focus on comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Unlike approaches that merely tighten the skin, Dr. Duplechain's deep plane technique involves repositioning the deeper facial tissues. This strategic adjustment of underlying structures is associated with delivering more natural-looking and significantly longer-lasting results for patients seeking to address the aging face. His practice is devoted to achieving these specific outcomes through this specialized surgical approach.
Ask Dr. Duplechain about the techniqueRecovery view
Dr. Duplechain emphasizes that recovery from a deep plane facelift is a gradual process that unfolds over several months. Patients can expect early swelling and bruising to subside within the initial weeks following surgery. However, the deeper, refreshed facial contour will continue to refine and settle over a period of three to six months. His practice ensures comprehensive support throughout this journey, with a dedicated surgical team, including Dr. Ishee and support staff, overseeing the entire recovery process. For out-of-town patients, the practice provides a specialized guide, offering assistance with hotel information and travel logistics to ensure a smooth and comfortable recovery experience.

What recent patients say
4.9 / 5 · 322 Google reviewsAt 75 and seeing a Plastic Surgeon was the furthest thing on my mind when I went for an eye appointment. But Dr Duplechin will fix my vision by using his skill to allow my eyes to open more to see. He was so very kind and spoke to us like a neighbor.
Dr. Duplechin and his team are truly top-notch. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and seamless teamwork are evident in every aspect of the patient experience. My experience with them exceeded every expectation I had. I prayed for a long time before deciding who would be the best fit for my needs, and choosing Dr. Duplechin was one of the best decisions I've ever made. He and his entire team make you feel like family from the moment you walk through the door. They are caring, supportive, and always willing to answer questions—nothing ever feels like too much to ask. I am extremely happy with my results. Although I am still in the healing process, I continue to see improvements every day, and the results keep getting better and better. I am incredibly grateful to Dr. Duplechin and his team for their expertise, compassion, and dedication. I highly recommend them to anyone considering a procedure. Nikki Fontenot
Everything was great! Sydni was super nice and very professional. She explained everything and answered all my questions. She made me feel comfortable and the appointment was quicker than I thought:)
ck. After an emergency ultrasound, he was able to calmly, efficiently, and effectively delivered a plan of action regardless of whatever surgeon I chose to go with. His knowledge and expertise is unmatched, and his work is impeccable. I originally had surgery in Beverly Hills with one of the nations “top rated” surgeons. My concerns went unaddressed for years even after several trips back and forth. Dr. Kevin provided solutions and results in three visits, I feel like I am finally myself after a botched surgery. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Duplechain for any and all cosmetic procedures, and will shout it from the rooftop. The experience overall renewed my confidence and overall well being. Dr. Duplechain and his staff are the best, and I can truly say that from first hand experience. I am three months post op, land the results are already looking incredible. He provided to the perfect reconstruction. 100/100%. 5 STARS. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. HE IS THE BEST.

Dr. Duplechain's Surgical Approach
Dr. J.
Dr. J. Kevin Duplechain approaches the deep plane facelift by working beneath the SMAS layer (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system — a sheet of muscle and connective tissue that supports the face). Rather than pulling only the skin, he releases and repositions this deeper structure.
The deep plane technique differs from older facelift methods in a fundamental way. Traditional lifts tightened skin over a fixed foundation, while the deep plane approach moves the skin and the underlying tissue together as one unit.
