Dr. Is's Surgical Approach
Dr. Hasan Is approaches the deep plane facelift as a technique that works beneath the skin's surface, repositioning the deeper facial tissues rather than relying on skin tension alone.
Dr. Hasan Is approaches the deep plane facelift as a technique that works beneath the skin's surface, repositioning the deeper facial tissues rather than relying on skin tension alone. As of April 2026, this method is offered by only a small number of surgeons in Riyadh.
The foundation of the procedure is the SMAS layer — the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a continuous sheet of muscle and connective tissue that lies beneath the skin and above the deeper facial structures. In a deep plane facelift, the surgeon works in the plane beneath this layer.
