Dr. Butler'S PERSPECTIVES
AI-assisted profile summarySignature technique
Dr. Butler's signature technique is the deep plane facelift, a sophisticated surgical method focused on facial rejuvenation. He emphasizes repositioning facial tissue at a deeper anatomical level, specifically beneath the SMAS layer, rather than merely tightening the skin. This approach involves releasing and carefully repositioning the underlying muscle and tissue as a single unit, which he believes restores more natural contours. Dr. Butler highlights that this technique addresses the midface, jawline, and neck comprehensively, aiming for results that appear integrated and harmonious, distinct from traditional methods that rely on outward skin tension.

Dr. Butler's Surgical Approach
Dr. Peter Butler approaches the deep plane facelift by working beneath the skin at the level of the SMAS, the superficial muscular aponeurotic system that forms the structural support of the face.
Dr. Peter Butler approaches the deep plane facelift by working beneath the skin at the level of the SMAS, the superficial muscular aponeurotic system that forms the structural support of the face. This deeper plane allows tissue to be repositioned as a cohesive unit rather than through skin tension alone.
The technique begins with careful dissection through the skin to reach the sub-SMAS plane. In a deep plane procedure, the surgeon releases the ligaments that tether facial tissue to underlying bone, allowing the mid-face and cheek to be lifted vertically.
