Signature technique

Dr. Austin Adams specializes in the deep plane facelift, a cornerstone of his approach to comprehensive facial rejuvenation. This advanced surgical technique involves meticulously repositioning the deeper SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) layer, rather than merely tightening the skin. By releasing and repositioning these deeper facial tissues, Dr. Adams aims to achieve results that are not only natural-looking but also exceptionally long-lasting. This method distinguishes itself from traditional facelift procedures, which often focus solely on superficial skin tightening. His practice emphasizes this technique for its ability to restore a youthful appearance while respecting the patient's unique facial anatomy.

Came in for a consultation on a medspa service, and got exactly that.

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.
