Dr. Minchio's Surgical Approach
Dr. Edmar Minchio approaches facial rejuvenation through tissue repositioning rather than surface skin tightening, an approach consistent with deep plane facelift principles.
Dr. Edmar Minchio approaches facial rejuvenation through tissue repositioning rather than surface skin tightening, an approach consistent with deep plane facelift principles. His described face lifting philosophy centers on repositioning aging tissues to achieve a natural, rested, and durable result.
The deep plane facelift works beneath the SMAS (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a layer of muscle and connective tissue that supports the face). Rather than simply pulling this layer tight, the technique releases and lifts it as a unit, allowing the cheek and jowl tissues to be elevated to a more youthful position.
