Dr. David Gerth

Board certification is not on record with DeepPlane for Dr. Gerth at this time. That absence reflects the limits of our file, not a finding about the surgeon, so patients should check the relevant board registry directly before booking any facial surgery.

Facial rejuvenation sits at the center of the practice's published procedure list. Alongside deep plane facelift, the site lists a standard facelift, endoscopic facelift, neck lift, brow lift, blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), fat transfer, lip lift, chin augmentation, chin liposuction, otoplasty and rhinoplasty.

A deep plane facelift is a form of rhytidectomy (the medical term for facelift surgery) that works beneath the SMAS (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a fibrous layer under the skin). Instead of pulling skin tight, the surgeon releases and lifts deeper tissue so the cheeks, jawline and neck move together.

Tissue repositioning, rather than skin tension, is the main reason many patients ask about the deep plane approach. Because the deeper layers carry the lift, the skin can often be closed with less strain — which many surgeons associate with a more natural look and a smoother recovery.

Male facial surgery appears as a dedicated category on the practice's website. Listed options include a male facelift, male neck lift, male rhinoplasty, chin implant and jawline contouring, reflecting that facial aging in men often calls for a different balance of structure and contour.

Vectra 3D imaging is listed in the practice's patient center. This kind of three-dimensional photography lets patient and surgeon study the face from several angles during planning, which can make conversations about goals, proportions and realistic outcomes more concrete.

Non-surgical care is offered through the practice's medspa, according to its website. Services listed include BOTOX, dermal fillers such as JUVÉDERM and Restylane, FaceTite skin tightening, and several laser options, including CO2, erbium, BBL (BroadBand Light) and Halo treatments.

Those treatments can complement surgery rather than replace it. Patients who are not yet ready for a deep plane facelift, or who want to maintain skin quality after one, may discuss with Dr. Gerth how laser resurfacing or injectables fit into a longer rejuvenation plan.

Coral Gables gives the practice a quiet, residential setting just outside central Miami. Known locally as the City Beautiful, it is a planned community of tree-lined streets and Mediterranean Revival buildings, a short drive from Miami International Airport.

Recovery planning is a practical part of any deep plane facelift. Most patients should expect visible swelling and bruising in the first two weeks, a gradual return to social activity after that, and continued settling of results over several months as healing progresses.

Patient focus at Dr. Gerth Plastic Surgery begins with the consultation. The practice lists phone booking at (305) 600-5041, weekday hours from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, a photo gallery, and a financing and insurance page for patients planning ahead.

Instagram is another window into the practice, which posts as @drgerthplasticsurgery. For women in their fifties and sixties weighing a facelift, these resources — together with this DeepPlane profile — offer a starting point for deciding whether a consultation with Dr. David Gerth is the right next step.
