Dr. Lyon'S PERSPECTIVES
AI-assisted profile summarySignature technique
Dr. Fábio Lyon's clinical practice is centered around the deep plane facelift, which he considers the cornerstone of his aesthetic approach to facial rejuvenation. This advanced technique is distinguished from older methods by its focus on repositioning the deeper facial tissue layers, rather than merely pulling the skin. Dr. Lyon explains that by directly addressing the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) layer—a critical structure for youthful volume and position—he can restore natural contours. His method emphasizes anatomical precision, releasing and repositioning the face's underlying support structures to allow the skin to settle naturally over a rejuvenated foundation, thereby avoiding a tight or windswept appearance.
Ask Dr. Lyon about the techniqueRecovery view
Dr. Fábio Lyon emphasizes that recovery is a fundamental aspect of the patient journey within his practice. He explains that because the deep plane technique operates beneath the skin's surface, patients can anticipate a predictable timeline for swelling and bruising. His team provides careful guidance throughout this period, ensuring patients understand each stage of the healing process. This structured approach to recovery is integral to the overall patient experience, allowing individuals to feel supported and informed as their results gradually emerge. Dr. Lyon's focus on clear communication regarding post-operative care helps manage expectations and contributes to a smoother, more comfortable recovery period for those undergoing facial rejuvenation.
Ask Dr. Lyon about your recoveryWho is a candidate
Dr. Fábio Lyon primarily appeals to patients in their fifties and sixties who are seeking facial rejuvenation that respects their natural features and preserves individual identity. These individuals often wish to address common signs of aging, such as midface descent, jowling, and neck laxity, through a single, comprehensive procedure. Dr. Lyon stresses that the deep plane facelift is not a one-size-fits-all solution; instead, he carefully tailors the extent of the dissection and repositioning to each patient's unique anatomy, their specific degree of facial aging, and their personal aesthetic goals. This personalized approach is particularly valued by women considering options for looking refreshed rather than dramatically altered.
