Dr. Flavio Cunha Ferreira approaches the deep plane facelift by working beneath the surface layers of the face to reposition tissue at its structural foundation. This distinguishes the technique from older methods that relied primarily on tightening skin.
At the center of this approach is the SMAS — the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a continuous layer of muscle and fibrous tissue that supports the cheeks, jawline, and neck. As the face ages, this layer descends, producing jowls and deepened folds.
