This certification is often a starting point for patients researching who is qualified to perform advanced facelift techniques.

The deep plane facelift is a surgical method that lifts the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system — the connective tissue layer beneath the skin) as a unit, rather than simply tightening the skin surface.
