What procedures does Dr. Hugh McLean specialize in?
Dr. Hugh McLean specializes in deep plane facelift surgery, neck lift, and facial rejuvenation, practicing in Canada.

Dr. Hugh McLean is a plastic surgeon practicing in Mississauga, Canada, recognized for his focus on aesthetic and reconstructive procedures.
Is Dr. McLean board certified?
Dr. McLean is listed as board-certified by RCPSC, ABPS, based on publicly available information such as clinic websites, medical society directories, and official registries.

How much does a deep plane facelift cost in Canada?
Dr. McLean has not published a deep plane facelift price on DEEPPLANE™. The DEEPPLANE estimate for Canada is $16,000–$30,000 (≈ CA$22,000–CA$41,000 CAD): our editorial estimate, not this surgeon's quote.

Where is Dr. McLean located?
Dr. McLean practices at McLean Clinic in Mississauga, Canada. The clinic welcomes both local and international patients travelling for deep plane facelift surgery. Visit the official clinic website for the full street address, parking details, and directions from the nearest international airport. International patients can arrange a virtual consultation before traveling to review candidacy, treatment plan, and pricing.
What is the recovery time for a deep plane facelift?
Recovery from a deep plane facelift typically involves 2-3 weeks of initial healing, with most visible bruising resolving within 7-10 days and sutures removed at days 7-10. International patients can generally travel home after 10-14 days once swelling has stabilised and wound checks are complete. Most patients return to desk work at 2-3 weeks and to exercise at 4-6 weeks. Final results become visible after 3-6 months as deep tissue swelling fully resolves. Dr. McLean provides a personalised recovery timeline during consultation.
How long do deep plane facelift results last?
Deep plane facelift results typically last 10-15 years, significantly longer than traditional SMAS or mini-facelift procedures, which tend to last 5-8 years. The deep plane technique repositions deeper facial tissues (including the SMAS-platysma composite and the released retaining ligaments) rather than simply tightening skin, which produces more natural, longer-lasting rejuvenation. Longevity also depends on individual ageing biology, sun exposure, smoking status, and skincare. Dr. McLean can discuss expected outcomes for your anatomy during consultation.
