Dr. Akdoğan's Surgical Approach

Deep plane facelift surgery represents a sophisticated approach to facial rejuvenation that MD Akdoğan offers to patients seeking comprehensive midface and lower face correction. This technique involves precise dissection beneath the SMAS layer, allowing for repositioning of facial tissues in their natural anatomical planes.

Deep plane facelift surgery represents a sophisticated approach to facial rejuvenation that MD Akdoğan offers to patients seeking comprehensive midface and lower face correction. This technique involves precise dissection beneath the SMAS layer, allowing for repositioning of facial tissues in their natural anatomical planes.

The fundamental principle distinguishing deep plane technique from traditional facelifts lies in the release of key facial ligaments. By releasing the zygomatic and masseteric ligaments, surgeons can mobilize the entire midface as a composite unit, maintaining the natural connections between skin and deeper structures.
