The deep plane facelift is a form of rhytidectomy (the medical term for a surgical facelift) that works beneath the skin's surface. Dr. Saad is listed among surgeons who concentrate on this approach rather than on more superficial lifting methods.

What distinguishes the deep plane method is the release and repositioning of the SMAS (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a layer of muscle and connective tissue under the skin). Surgeons who focus on it, as Dr. Saad is listed as doing, work within that deeper plane to move tissue as a unit.

Facial aging affects both the skin and the structures beneath it, which is why the deep plane technique targets the underlying layer. Dr. Rafaela Saad's listed emphasis on this procedure places the practice within a specialized corner of facial rejuvenation surgery.
