Dr. Rayess's Surgical Approach
Dr. Ali R.
Dr. Ali R. Rayess approaches the deep plane facelift by working beneath the SMAS layer to reposition facial tissue at its structural foundation. The SMAS — short for the superficial musculoaponeurotic system — is the sheet of muscle and connective tissue that gives the face its support.
In a deep plane technique, the surgeon releases and elevates the tissue below this layer rather than simply tightening the skin above it. This sub-SMAS dissection allows the deeper structures to be lifted as a single, cohesive unit.
