Dr. Michael Mirzabeigi

Dr. Michael Mirzabeigi performs the deep plane facelift by working beneath the SMAS layer, the superficial musculoaponeurotic system that forms a supportive sheet of muscle and connective tissue in the mid and lower face. This deeper plane of dissection is what defines the technique and separates it from more superficial approaches.

The deep plane facelift, technically a form of rhytidectomy (the medical term for a surgical facelift), involves releasing the ligaments that tether facial tissue as we age. By freeing these anchoring points, the surgeon can reposition the deeper tissue layers as a single unit.

Dr. Michael Mirzabeigi is listed as board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), the specialty board that certifies plastic surgeons in the United States. ABPS certification is regarded as a foundational credential for surgeons performing complex facial procedures such as the deep plane facelift.

Board certification through the ABPS indicates that a surgeon has completed accredited residency training in plastic surgery and passed comprehensive written and oral examinations. This process is designed to verify both surgical knowledge and clinical judgment.
