Dr. Edward Szachowicz

That narrower focus matters. Surgeons who concentrate on facial anatomy tend to spend their operative time on the specific layers a deep plane facelift addresses, rather than dividing attention across the whole body.

The deep plane facelift is an advanced form of rhytidectomy — the medical term for a surgical facelift. It works beneath the skin on the SMAS (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a sheet of muscle and connective tissue that gives the lower face its structure).

Dr. Szachowicz's stated interest lies in natural-looking facial rejuvenation. The practice describes an approach built around harmony, balance and proportion, treating the ageing face as a whole rather than as isolated features.

Facial aging is not only a matter of loose skin. Over time the deeper support tissues descend and volume shifts, which is why techniques that reposition those tissues, rather than simply pulling skin, have grown in favour.

Dr. Szachowicz is positioned within this field of tissue repositioning. The deep plane method lifts and redrapes the deeper layers as a single unit, which can reduce the tension placed on the skin itself.

Patients researching Dr. Szachowicz are often weighing a significant decision. A facelift is elective, its results are long-lasting, and the choice of surgeon is central to the outcome — so careful research is time well spent.

This profile is intended to support that research. It brings together what DeepPlane's register holds, what the surgeon's own practice states, and general guidance on the deep plane facelift so you can prepare informed questions.

Dr. Szachowicz practises in a part of the country known for its strong medical infrastructure. The Twin Cities region is home to major hospital systems and a long tradition of academic medicine.

Credential verification is a sensible early step with any facial surgeon, and the credentials section below sets out what the register records and how you can confirm it independently.

Recovery is another area patients ask about early. A deep plane facelift generally involves a first couple of weeks of visible swelling and bruising, followed by a gradual return to normal activity over the following month.

Dr. Szachowicz's practice maintains an Instagram presence at @szachowiczfacialplastics, where prospective patients can get a sense of the practice's aesthetic and tone before reaching out.

The sections that follow cover surgical methodology, recovery, cost context, travel logistics for those coming from outside Edina, and a consultation guide. Each is written to stand on its own.

Taken together, they aim to give you a clear, honest picture of Dr. Szachowicz and of the deep plane facelift itself — enough to decide whether a consultation is a worthwhile next step.
