Dr. Samaha completed his medical education at Queen's University in Canada. He is listed as holding credentials associated with the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada.

His professional identity centers on a single principle: the face deserves a true specialist. According to his practice materials, Dr. Samaha performs only facial surgery, a focus that many patients find reassuring when considering a procedure as intricate as a deep plane facelift.

The deep plane facelift is an advanced form of rhytidectomy (the medical term for a surgical facelift). It works beneath the SMAS layer — the sheet of muscle and connective tissue that supports the face — to reposition deeper structures rather than simply tightening skin.

Dr. Samaha describes his surgical philosophy through a signature approach he calls Maximum Result Minimum Recovery. This reflects an emphasis on natural-looking outcomes paired with a smoother, more comfortable healing experience.

One distinctive element of his practice is the avoidance of general anesthesia for many procedures. According to his practice, this choice is intended to make recovery easier and gentler for patients.

His training background includes advanced facial plastic surgery education, and his practice describes him as a Harvard-trained surgeon. These credentials reflect years of focused study in facial anatomy and aesthetic technique.

Dr. Samaha's approach to facial aging treats the face as a unified structure. Rather than addressing one area in isolation, he considers how the cheeks, jawline, and neck age together over time.

The deep plane technique appeals to patients seeking longevity in their results. By repositioning the deeper tissue layers, this method aims to restore youthful contours without the pulled or windswept appearance sometimes associated with older techniques.

Beyond facelift surgery, Dr. Samaha offers a broad range of facial procedures. These include neck lift, deep neck lift, blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), brow lift, lip lift, and facial contouring options such as buccal fat removal and chin augmentation.

His practice also provides nonsurgical rejuvenation, including wrinkle relaxers, dermal fillers, chemical peels, and intense pulsed light treatments. This range allows patients to explore both surgical and non-surgical paths to facial rejuvenation.

Dr. Samaha's practice serves the greater Montreal region, including Laval and the West Island. The clinic offers computer simulation to help patients visualize potential outcomes before committing to surgery.

Education is a recurring theme in his professional life. His practice describes teaching activities, published articles on facial plastic surgery, and involvement in charitable work — reflecting engagement beyond the operating room.

For affluent patients researching the deep plane facelift, Dr. Samaha represents an established Montreal option. His combination of exclusive facial focus, two decades of experience, and a recovery-minded philosophy positions him as a considered choice for facial rejuvenation in Canada.

Dr. Samaha has not published deep plane facelift pricing on DEEPPLANE™. Across the 44 Canada specialists in our registry, listed deep plane facelift pricing typically runs $16,000–$30,000 (≈ CA$22,000–CA$41,000 CAD).

Where is Dr. Samaha located?
Dr. Samaha practices at Montreal Centre for Facial Plastic Surgery in Montreal, Canada. The clinic welcomes both local and international patients travelling for deep plane facelift surgery. Visit the official clinic website for the full street address, parking details, and directions from the nearest international airport. International patients can arrange a virtual consultation before traveling to review candidacy, treatment plan, and pricing.
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. Most patients return to desk work at 2-3 weeks and to exercise at 4-6 weeks. Final results become visible after 3-6 months as deep tissue swelling fully resolves. Dr. Samaha provides a personalised recovery timeline during consultation.
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. Longevity also depends on individual ageing biology, sun exposure, smoking status, and skincare. Dr. Samaha can discuss expected outcomes for your anatomy during consultation.
