A great doctor with great bedside manner who is honest and compassionate. He revised a nose job from a different surgeon who did a lackluster job and gave me a sturdy, flattering revision that gave me my confidence back. And when I have questions or concerns, he's there to give me answers or advise me on the correct course of action for the best outcome. Highly recommend!

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.

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.
