DeepPlane does not currently hold a board certification record for Dr. Nini. That gap reflects what has been collected so far, not a finding about the surgeon. You can check status directly with the American Board of Plastic Surgery or through Certification Matters, the lookup run by the American Board of Medical Specialties.

Plastic Surgery Arts of New Jersey is a multi-office practice serving central New Jersey. Its website names Edison, East Brunswick, Princeton and Skillman, with office pages for New Brunswick and Skillman. The practice also lists a second surgeon, Philip D. Wey, MD, FACS, along with physician assistants, a nursing team and medspa providers.

Facial surgery forms a large part of the practice's published menu of procedures. The website lists facelift, mid-facelift, neck lift, eyelid lift, brow lift and rhinoplasty, and it offers dedicated facelift and neck lift options for men.

Breast and body procedures appear alongside the facial work. According to the practice, these include breast augmentation, breast lift, breast reduction, breast reconstruction, correction of breast asymmetry, liposuction, tummy tuck, mommy makeover and body contouring after weight loss.

A deep plane facelift is a form of rhytidectomy (the medical term for facelift surgery) that works beneath the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system, the fibrous layer under the skin and fat). Rather than pulling skin tight, the approach releases and lifts deeper tissues so the cheeks, jawline and neck are repositioned together.

This approach targets the structural causes of facial aging rather than surface laxity alone. Tissue repositioning at the deeper layer is intended to restore the midface and define the jawline while keeping tension off the skin — which many surgeons associate with a softer, less 'pulled' result.

Non-surgical care is also available within the same practice. The medspa lists BOTOX Cosmetic, Jeuveau, dermal fillers, microneedling, HydraFacial, and laser treatments such as HALO and BBL HEROic by Sciton, which some patients use to maintain skin quality after facial rejuvenation surgery.

Recovery after a deep plane facelift generally follows a staged timeline. Swelling and bruising are most noticeable in the first two weeks, many patients return to light social activity around weeks three to four, and the final result tends to settle over three to six months.

The practice publishes before-and-after galleries organized by procedure. These include face galleries for facelift, neck lift, rhinoplasty and blepharoplasty (eyelid rejuvenation), which can help you judge whether the surgeon's aesthetic matches your own goals.

Dr. Kevin Nini also maintains a public Instagram account at @kevin.nini. Social media can offer a sense of a surgeon's style and the practice's communication, though it is no substitute for an in-person examination and a detailed conversation about your anatomy.

Princeton offers a calm, historic setting for surgery and recovery. The town sits between New York City and Philadelphia, and its university-town character, quiet streets and established inns suit patients who want privacy during the first weeks of healing.

A consultation with the practice is the surest next step. Patients interested in a deep plane facelift with Dr. Nini can ask directly about technique, anesthesia, the surgical facility and the aftercare plan, and can begin that conversation through DeepPlane.com.
