Signature technique

Dr. Sunder is highly skilled in deep plane facelift surgery, a technique that forms a cornerstone of Dr. Sarmela Sunder's practice. This advanced procedure involves a sub-SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) dissection, which demands a precise and intricate understanding of the facial nerve pathways and various tissue planes. Their extensive medical education and residency training have thoroughly prepared them for the complex anatomical work inherent in this specialized approach. Beyond the deep plane, her practice also offers a proprietary "Butterfly-Lift" technique, alongside other comprehensive facial rejuvenation options such as mid-facelifts, mini-lifts, and neck lifts, showcasing a broad expertise in facial plastic surgery.

Reviews typically reference communication, surgical outcome, bedside manner, and post-operative support. Patients who complete a deep plane facelift can also leave structured reviews on their DEEPPLANE™ profile, which include separate star ratings for result quality, recovery support, and value.
Where is Dr. Sunder located?
Dr. Sunder practices at Sunder Plastic Surgery in Beverly Hills, USA. 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. Sunder provides a personalised recovery timeline during consultation.
How long do deep plane facelift results last?
How long results last has not been measured for all patients, and whether a deep plane facelift outlasts a SMAS or mini facelift is still debated (Khoury 2025). In one surgeon's 30-year series, patients who came back for a second facelift after a deep plane lift did so 10.9 years later on average (Levin & Frankel 2026); that counts only the patients who returned. Longevity also depends on individual ageing biology, sun exposure, smoking status, and skincare. Dr. Sunder can discuss expected outcomes for your anatomy during consultation.

Yes, Dr. Sunder has 4 before and after photo sets on their DEEPPLANE™ profile, showing a range of ages, anatomical starting points, and result timelines.
