About

With more than 30 years in facial plastic surgery, Dr. Louis DeJoseph is a facial plastic surgeon based in Atlanta who focuses on the deep plane facelift. As of October 2026, Dr. DeJoseph practices at established Image Cosmetic & Laser Surgery, a long-established, face-focused practice in the city.

The deep plane facelift is the core specialty tied to Dr. DeJoseph's profile. This technique works beneath the SMAS (the superficial muscular aponeurotic system, a sheet of muscle and connective tissue under the skin) to reposition deeper facial layers rather than simply tightening the surface.

Membership in the AAFPRS places Dr. DeJoseph within the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, a society devoted specifically to surgery of the face, head, and neck. Societies like this set a focused scope of practice.

Facial rejuvenation, in the approach Dr. DeJoseph describes publicly, centers on natural-looking outcomes. The practice summarizes its philosophy as "still you — only improved," a phrase that emphasizes restoring a familiar face rather than changing it.

Patients consult Dr. DeJoseph for a range of facial procedures beyond the deep plane facelift. The practice website lists neck lift, brow lift, blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), chin augmentation, otoplasty (ear reshaping), and facial liposuction among its surgical options.

Non-surgical treatments also form part of the established Image practice. These include neurotoxins such as Botox and Dysport, dermal fillers, laser skin resurfacing, and microneedling — options for patients not yet ready to consider surgery.

Recovery is a central concern for anyone weighing a deep plane facelift. Dr. DeJoseph has discussed facial surgery and lower-downtime approaches publicly, including in Atlanta television segments on Fox 5 and 11Alive.

Atlanta anchors Dr. DeJoseph's work within the Southeastern United States. The city serves as a major regional medical and transportation hub, reached through one of the world's busiest airports.

Facial aging, in Dr. DeJoseph's described approach, is treated as a structural change rather than a surface problem. Deep plane methods target the ligaments and deeper tissue planes that loosen over the decades.

Dr. DeJoseph is associated with an AAFPRS fellowship program, according to the practice's published materials. Involvement in fellowship training signals ongoing engagement with teaching newer facial surgeons.

Prospective patients usually begin with a consultation to understand candidacy. The team around Dr. DeJoseph evaluates facial structure, skin quality, and personal goals before recommending a surgical or non-surgical path.

Tissue repositioning, not skin pulling, is the idea at the heart of the deep plane facelift that Dr. DeJoseph performs. This distinction matters for the natural movement and expression patients hope to keep.

The practice has also been described locally as a face-focused destination in Atlanta. Dr. DeJoseph's long tenure in the same city gives patients a stable point of contact across years of care.

DeepPlane.com lists Dr. DeJoseph among facial surgeons offering the deep plane facelift in Atlanta. This profile gathers credentials, methodology, recovery expectations, and consultation guidance for patients researching the procedure and the surgeon.

Dr. DeJoseph loves his job and Katie Chung is the perfect complement. They’re a dream team. Highly competent and fun! They’ll add 10 years to your life… or at least give you the opportunity to live fast, die young and leave a hot corpse. Ok, that’s not mine, it’s True Romance. But! They’re the best!

I had a consult with Dr. DeJoseph. He has an amazing bedside manner that goes well with his plastic surgery skills. He looks, listens, and tells you the truth about your concerns without any upselling. His staff is also very attentive and helpful. I am confident in this practice. I look forward to using Dr DeJoseph for my plastic surgery needs.

My experience from consultation to after surgery care has been flawless. The staff could not have been more supportive. Dr. DeJoseph, is a master; combing skill, artistry and a warm and engaging bedside manner, he gave me the most beautiful results. And the best part? My friends didn’t realize that I’d had surgery. I am such a fan of Premier Image.

How much does a deep plane facelift cost in USA?
Dr. DeJoseph has not published a deep plane facelift price on DEEPPLANE™. The DEEPPLANE estimate for USA is $35,000–$75,000: our editorial estimate, not this surgeon's quote. Your price is set in a written quote after consultation; ask for it itemized and compare it with our country cost guide.
What do patients say about Dr. DeJoseph?
Dr. DeJoseph has a 4.9/5 rating based on 235 Google reviews, drawn from verified patient visits to the clinic. Reviews typically reference communication, surgical outcome, bedside manner, and post-operative support.

Where is Dr. DeJoseph located?

Visit the official clinic website for the full street address, parking details, and directions from the nearest international airport. International patients can arrange a virtual consultation before traveling to review candidacy, treatment plan, and pricing.
What is the recovery time for a deep plane facelift?
Recovery from a deep plane facelift typically involves 2-3 weeks of initial healing, with most visible bruising resolving within 7-10 days and sutures removed at days 7-10. International patients can generally travel home after 10-14 days once swelling has stabilised and wound checks are complete. Most patients return to desk work at 2-3 weeks and to exercise at 4-6 weeks. Final results become visible after 3-6 months as deep tissue swelling fully resolves. Dr. DeJoseph provides a personalised recovery timeline during consultation.
How long do deep plane facelift results last?
How long results last has not been measured for all patients, and whether a deep plane facelift outlasts a SMAS or mini facelift is still debated (Khoury 2025). In one surgeon's 30-year series, patients who came back for a second facelift after a deep plane lift did so 10.9 years later on average (Levin & Frankel 2026); that counts only the patients who returned. Longevity also depends on individual ageing biology, sun exposure, smoking status, and skincare. Dr. DeJoseph can discuss expected outcomes for your anatomy during consultation.

Dr. DeJoseph has 30+ years of clinical experience in facial plastic surgery. Deep plane facelift is a signature procedure within the clinical practice.

Yes, Dr. DeJoseph has 10 before and after photo sets on their DEEPPLANE™ profile, showing a range of ages, anatomical starting points, and result timelines. Photos have been collated from public clinic sources. When reviewing galleries, look for patients with facial anatomy similar to yours and for results photographed at least 3-6 months post-op, when final swelling has resolved.

The board certification shown (ABPS) is as listed in public sources and is not confirmed with the issuing board. The surgeon has a 4.9/5 rating on Google from public patient reviews.
