Deep plane facelift surgery represents a technically demanding approach to facial aging. It involves releasing and repositioning the deeper tissue layers of the face rather than simply tightening the skin.

Dr. Macias focuses Dr. Macias's facial work on this deeper technique, which many surgeons regard as producing more durable and natural results. The method addresses the SMAS layer (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a sheet of muscle and connective tissue beneath the skin) directly.

Beyond facelift surgery, Dr. Macias performs neck surgery to address sagging and banding along the jawline and under the chin. These procedures are often combined with facelift work for a harmonious result.

Rhinoplasty forms another pillar of his practice, addressing both cosmetic and functional concerns of the nose. Dr. Macias also offers revision surgery for patients seeking to improve or correct results from prior operations.

Dr. Macias's practice, Aesthetic MdR, serves patients in both English and Spanish, reflecting the multicultural character of Los Angeles. This bilingual capability broadens access for a diverse patient community.

Recovery from a deep plane facelift typically unfolds over several months, with early swelling and bruising giving way to gradually refined contours. Dr. Macias emphasizes patient education about this timeline during the consultation process.

Their clinical philosophy centers on natural-appearing rejuvenation rather than an overly tightened or artificial look. This aligns with contemporary preferences among patients seeking facial surgery in Los Angeles.

The practice offers virtual consultations, which can be helpful for patients traveling from outside the immediate area. This accessibility reflects the modern demands of a busy metropolitan surgical practice.
