Dr. Raúl Reyes

Dr. Raúl Reyes approaches the deep plane facelift as a repositioning procedure rather than a skin-tightening one. The central principle is that youthful facial contour depends on the position of deeper tissues, not on the tension placed on the skin surface.

The technique works within the SMAS — the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a fibrous and muscular layer beneath the skin that connects to the muscles of facial expression. In a deep plane facelift, the surgeon works beneath this layer rather than simply tightening above it.

Dr. Raúl Reyes is listed as board-certified by AMCPER, the Asociación Mexicana de Cirugía Plástica, Estética y Reconstructiva, under registration number 2551. This is the principal certifying body for plastic surgeons in Mexico and sets national standards for training and practice.

AMCPER certification indicates that a surgeon has completed accredited residency training in plastic and reconstructive surgery and has met the association's examination and credentialing requirements. For patients, this certification is a meaningful baseline when evaluating a facial surgeon.
