Dr. Kaçmaz's Surgical Approach
Dr. Caner Kaçmaz performs the deep plane facelift by working beneath the SMAS, the superficial musculoaponeurotic system that forms the structural support layer of the face.
Dr. Caner Kaçmaz performs the deep plane facelift by working beneath the SMAS, the superficial musculoaponeurotic system that forms the structural support layer of the face. This sub-SMAS approach distinguishes the deep plane technique from older skin-only facelifts.
The SMAS is a continuous layer of muscle and connective tissue that connects to the platysma in the neck (the platysma is the broad sheet of muscle spanning the lower face and neck). By releasing and repositioning this layer, Dr. Kaçmaz aims to lift the face as a unified structure.
