Justin Bellamy, MD

DeepPlane.com does not currently hold a confirmed board certification record for Dr. Bellamy. That reflects the state of our records rather than any finding about the surgeon, and you can check certification yourself through the American Board of Medical Specialties or the relevant specialty board before booking.

Certification matters for a deep plane facelift because the operation works beneath the surface layers of the face. A specialty board confirms that a surgeon completed accredited residency training and passed written and oral examinations, which gives you an independent check on the training behind the procedure.

The deep plane facelift is a form of rhytidectomy (the surgical name for a facelift) that releases and lifts deeper tissue rather than pulling skin. It works at and beneath the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system, the fibrous layer that supports the cheeks, jowls and neck), so the lift moves the face as one unit.

According to the practice website, Dr. Bellamy offers both a deep plane facelift and an awake deep plane facelift. Awake surgery generally means a procedure done under local anesthesia, sometimes with mild oral sedation, rather than general anesthesia, and suitability depends on your health and the extent of the work.

Facial procedures listed alongside the facelift include neck lift, blepharoplasty, brow lift, facial fat grafting, buccal fat removal, chin implant, chin liposuction and lip lift. For women in their late fifties and sixties, these are often discussed together, since facial aging rarely affects only one area of the face.

Rhinoplasty takes up a large share of the practice's facial menu. The website lists revision, preservation, male, ethnic, Hispanic, teenage and scarless rhinoplasty, which suggests a strong interest in nasal surgery alongside facial rejuvenation. Breast and body surgery, plus injectable treatments, round out the menu.

The practice takes a relaxed view of first contact. Its contact page says a first message does not need to be polished and that you do not need to have chosen a procedure, and a member of the patient care team follows up to talk options through.

That approach suits patients who are weighing a facelift for the first time. Many women in this age group know which feature bothers them, such as heavier jowls, a softer jawline or neck banding, without knowing whether a deep plane facelift, a neck lift or a non-surgical option fits their goals.

Recovery is a central part of the conversation for any deep plane facelift. Swelling and bruising usually peak in the first week or two, most patients return to light social life within three to four weeks, and the final result settles over three to six months, though individual timelines vary.

Because the deep plane lift relies on tissue repositioning rather than stretching skin, the goal is a natural result without a tight or windswept look. Whether that goal is realistic for your face is a question for an in-person or virtual consultation with Dr. Bellamy, where your anatomy and health history can be assessed.

Dr. Bellamy shares work on Instagram at @bellamy.md, and the practice website hosts a photo gallery. Viewing results for faces similar to yours, in age and in skin quality, is one of the most useful steps you can take before a consultation.
