Signature technique

Dr. Uematsu's practice at SUEクリニック銀座 is renowned for its specialization in advanced surgical techniques, particularly the deep plane facelift. This intricate procedure involves meticulously repositioning the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) layer to deliver results that are both natural-looking and exceptionally long-lasting. As one of only two surgeons in Tokyo offering this specialized surgery, Dr. Uematsu's expertise in dissecting beneath the SMAS layer allows for a comprehensive lifting of the midface, jowls, and neck through a single, unified tissue plane, ensuring harmonious and refined outcomes for his patients.

The clinic ensures a thorough consultation process where expected outcomes and recovery timelines are discussed in detail, aiming to instill confidence in patients regarding their post-operative journey and overall treatment choices.

He completed his medical education at Aichi Medical University, one of Japan's established institutions for physician training. His clinical path has centered on facial aesthetics, an area demanding both technical precision and an eye for natural proportion.

Dr. Uematsu specializes in the deep plane facelift, a technique that repositions deeper facial tissues rather than simply tightening the skin. This approach is designed to restore youthful contours while preserving the natural movement and expression of the face.

His clinical interests also include broader facial rejuvenation and thread lifts, less invasive treatments that can complement or precede surgical options. This range allows him to tailor recommendations to each patient's stage of facial aging.

Dr. Uematsu holds membership in the Japan Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, or JSAPS, a professional body focused on the aesthetic side of the specialty. Such affiliations signal ongoing engagement with peer standards and continuing education.

The philosophy of his practice is captured in a guiding principle displayed at SUEクリニック銀座: the clinic performs only treatments its physicians would feel comfortable offering their own family. This family-centered ethic shapes how procedures are discussed and recommended.

Deep plane facelift surgery is among the more technically demanding procedures in facial aesthetics. It requires careful work beneath the SMAS, the supportive layer of muscle and connective tissue that gives the face its structure.

Dr. Uematsu's work reflects a Japanese aesthetic tradition that tends to favor subtlety and balance. Rather than dramatic change, the goal is often a rested, harmonious appearance that ages gracefully.

Recovery from a deep plane facelift is a gradual process, and Dr. Uematsu's practice emphasizes attentive aftercare. Patients are supported through the initial swelling and bruising phase toward their longer-term result.

Based in Ginza, one of Tokyo's most prestigious commercial and cultural quarters, the clinic offers a discreet setting for consultations. Ginza is synonymous with quality and considered service, values that align with an aesthetic surgical practice.

His combined focus on surgical and non-surgical rejuvenation reflects a broader trend in facial aesthetics. Many patients today seek a spectrum of options rather than a single procedure.

Dr. Uematsu is an established presence within Tokyo's facial aesthetics community. His profile on DeepPlane.com places him within a global network of surgeons who perform deep plane facelift procedures across more than 65 countries.

For women considering facial rejuvenation in Japan, Dr. Shigeru Uematsu represents a Tokyo-based option combining formal plastic surgery credentials with a patient-centered, family-oriented philosophy of care.

I was attracted by the words on their website, "We won't perform any treatments that we wouldn't want on family," so I made an appointment. When it was time to actually receive the Lumecca treatment, I was nervous, but they spoke words that eased my tension and allowed me to receive the treatment with peace of mind. I'm in awe of Nagai-san's skill, as he examines the condition of my skin and performs the best treatment for that moment. ♡ I'll definitely be requesting Nagai-san again next time, so please come along! ♪

I've been receiving thread and nurse treatments for several years. I've had thread treatments at other clinics and didn't have a very good impression of the threads, but I'll never forget how impressed I was the first time I received Dr. Park's threads. The way they pull them up is amazing!! The level of completion is amazing. They also provide thorough aftercare, so I feel at ease every time. I've now become such a big fan of Dr. Park's threads that I can't imagine anyone else doing them lol I leave the nurse treatments to Mr. Nagai, and he understands my face better than I do, so I always leave it to him with peace of mind. Mr. Nagai's high level of skill is incredible. He targets the nasolabial folds, around the jaw, and around the eyes, right to the very edge, so the threads stick perfectly. I feel I've found a great clinic. I look forward to continuing to work with him ♡

I was concerned about dark spots, so I had Lumecca treatment here. It was my first time undergoing cosmetic medical treatment, so I was nervous, but the nurse gave me a gentle explanation before the procedure, so I was able to undergo the treatment with ease. They also managed the pain, and I could see the results I wanted, so I would definitely recommend them. I would definitely recommend them again.

Where is Dr. Uematsu located?
Dr. Uematsu practices at SUEクリニック銀座 in Tokyo, Japan. The clinic welcomes both local and international patients travelling for deep plane facelift surgery. 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. Uematsu provides a personalised recovery timeline during consultation.
How long do deep plane facelift results last?
Deep plane facelift results typically last 10-15 years, significantly longer than traditional SMAS or mini-facelift procedures, which tend to last 5-8 years. The deep plane technique repositions deeper facial tissues (including the SMAS-platysma composite and the released retaining ligaments) rather than simply tightening skin, which produces more natural, longer-lasting rejuvenation. Longevity also depends on individual ageing biology, sun exposure, smoking status, and skincare. Dr. Uematsu can discuss expected outcomes for your anatomy during consultation.
