I saw Dr Demetri for Botox and it was my first time so of course, I was nervous. I explained to him that I wanted to go natural. He instantly calmed my nerves and listened to what I wanted. You could tell he knows what he’s doing! I felt comfortable the entire time.. starting with Liz at the front desk, Ari and Carolina for my prep and then of course, Dr Demetri. Everyone was wonderful! It’s only been a couple of days and I’m already seeing incredible results!

Dr. Demetri Arnaoutakis approaches deep plane facelift surgery with a focus on comprehensive facial rejuvenation, addressing the deeper anatomical layers for enduring results. This method differs significantly from traditional facelifts by repositioning tissues beneath the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system).

His technique involves sub-SMAS dissection, which means he carefully separates the SMAS layer from the underlying muscles and fat. This allows for a more effective and natural repositioning of the facial tissues, rather than just pulling the skin.
