Dr. Quttainah's Surgical Approach

The deep plane facelift approaches facial aging by working beneath the skin's surface, at the level of the SMAS (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system — a layer of muscle and connective tissue that supports the face). Dr. Adel Quttainah's surgical background reflects the precision this technique demands.
Unlike traditional facelifts that primarily tighten skin, the deep plane technique involves sub-SMAS dissection. This means the surgeon releases and repositions the deeper tissue layer along with the skin as a single unit, addressing sagging at its source.
