Thank you very much!!!

Dr. Kharkov's Surgical Approach
Dr. Andrey Kharkov approaches the deep plane facelift as a structural procedure that repositions the deeper tissues of the face rather than tightening the skin surface alone.
Dr. Andrey Kharkov approaches the deep plane facelift as a structural procedure that repositions the deeper tissues of the face rather than tightening the skin surface alone. This distinction defines what separates a deep plane technique from more superficial lifts.
The deep plane facelift works within and beneath the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system), the fibrous muscular layer that gives the face its underlying support. By releasing and elevating this layer, the surgeon can reposition sagging tissue as a single unit.
