Understanding the Deep Plane High SMAS Facelift

In this episode of Artist in the O.R., Dr. Scott Spiro breaks down what the Deep Plane High SMAS facelift actually means and why working beneath the surface of the face can produce more natural, lasting results. From explaining why faces age the way they do to walking through the deeper layers surgeons address during a facelift, the conversation focuses on the anatomy and surgical thinking behind modern facial rejuvenation. Dr. Spiro also discusses when the face and neck should be treated together, how facial fat grafting can restore volume, and how non-surgical treatments can help maintain results over time. This episode is ideal for patients seeking a clearer understanding of facelift techniques and the thoughtful planning that goes into achieving natural-looking facial rejuvenation.
