Signature technique

Dr. Antonio Murcia's clinical focus centers on the deep plane facelift, a highly advanced and technically demanding approach to facial rejuvenation. This technique is designed to reposition the deeper facial tissues, specifically working beneath the SMAS (superficial musculo-aponeurotic system) layer, rather than simply tightening the skin. He emphasizes this deeper anatomical approach to lift and reposition sagging structures, aiming for a more comprehensive and natural-looking result. Dr. Murcia's commitment to this method reflects an investment in refining his approach to sub-SMAS dissection and tissue repositioning, distinguishing his practice in São Paulo's competitive aesthetic market.

Request the full clinic address and directions during your initial inquiry. 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. Antonio Murcia 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. Antonio Murcia can discuss expected outcomes for your anatomy during consultation.
