Dr. Kenrick Spence

DeepPlane holds no board certification record for Dr. Spence, confirmed or claimed. That gap reflects the state of our records, not a finding about the surgeon, because many certification details simply have not been collected yet. You can check directly with the American Board of Plastic Surgery or the ABMS Certification Matters lookup before you book.

Board certification matters for a deep plane facelift because the operation works beneath the facial muscle layer, close to branches of the facial nerve. Certification by a recognized surgical board signals that a surgeon has completed accredited residency training and passed written and oral examinations in that specialty.

Facial surgery is one of several service areas the practice lists, alongside eyelid rejuvenation, eyebrow lift, otoplasty (ear reshaping), lip augmentation and osteoma removal. For patients focused on facial aging, the facelift, revision facelift and neck lift pages are the most relevant starting points on the practice's site.

A deep plane facelift is a form of rhytidectomy (the medical term for a facelift) that lifts the SMAS (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a firm layer of tissue beneath the skin) together with the skin as one unit. It releases the ligaments that hold sagging tissue down, so the cheeks, jowls and neck can move back upward.

The practice's website, in the material DeepPlane has reviewed, describes facelift surgery but does not name the specific surgical plane Dr. Spence uses. Techniques range from skin-only lifts to SMAS folding to full deep plane release, so it is worth asking at a consultation which approach is planned for your face.

Revision facelift surgery appears as its own listed service, which matters for patients whose earlier facelift has relaxed or left a pulled look. Revision work in a previously operated face involves scar tissue and altered anatomy, so patients should ask how Dr. Spence plans for those conditions.

A page titled Our Facial Rejuvenation Protocol suggests the practice frames surgery within a wider plan. Treatments listed on the site include laser skin resurfacing, chemical peels, microneedling, injectable fillers, biostimulators such as Sculptra and Radiesse, and fat transfer — options often used to refine skin quality after a lift.

Skin care pages for men and for skin of color are also listed on the practice's site, along with keloid removal. For women considering facial surgery in their late fifties and sixties, that range can be useful, since skin texture, pigmentation and scarring tendencies affect both incision planning and the finishing treatments chosen afterward.

Recovery after a deep plane facelift typically follows a predictable arc. Swelling and bruising peak in the first one to two weeks, most patients return to light social activity around weeks three to four, and the final contour settles over three to six months as deeper tissues heal.

Patients traveling to Orlando will find dedicated Out-of-Town Patients and Financing Information pages on the practice website. Those pages are the right place to begin planning travel, timing and payment, and the practice can confirm what support it offers to visitors arriving from outside Central Florida.

Dr. Kenrick Spence also maintains an Instagram presence at @kenrickspencemd. Social media can give a sense of a practice's style and aesthetic, but posted images are curated, so treat them as an introduction rather than a substitute for a full set of before and after photos reviewed in person.
