Deep Plane Facelift

The ARTIS Transformation™

Premier Full Facial Rejuvenation in South Florida

If you are searching for the best deep plane facelift or endoscopic facelift in South Florida, your procedure should do more than tighten skin — it should restore structure, elevate tissues naturally, and rejuvenate the entire face with precision and safety.

At The ARTIS Institute for Plastic Surgery & Regenerative Medicine, double board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Andres G. Sarraga performs advanced Deep Plane Facelift surgery or Endoscopic Facelift as part of:

S.I.M.P.L.E. Facelift

For patients who want to soften the earliest signs of facial aging without the extended recovery of a deep plane facelift, Dr. Sárraga offers a S.I.M.P.L.E. Facelift focused on the upper and mid-face: the brow and cheek. This approach lifts a heavy, low-set brow and restores fullness to hollowed or descending cheeks by repositioning the underlying tissue rather than simply pulling the skin, so results look natural rather than “stretched.” Because the technique targets a more limited area, incisions are shorter and placed discreetly within the hairline, where they heal hidden beneath existing hair and are virtually undetectable once healed. Many patients in Aventura choose this option as a first step into facial rejuvenation, or to refresh the brow and cheek area between more comprehensive procedures. Recovery is typically quicker than a full facelift, making it an appealing choice for those seeking meaningful, natural-looking improvement with less downtime.

What Is a Deep Plane Facelift?

A deep plane facelift is an advanced surgical technique that lifts the face at the structural level — beneath the skin and SMAS — releasing key retaining ligaments to reposition deeper tissues as a single unit.

Unlike traditional facelifts that primarily tighten skin:

✔ The deep plane facelift repositions descended midface tissues
✔ Elevates cheeks naturally
✔ Softens nasolabial folds
✔ Reduces jowling
✔ Improves jawline definition
✔ Integrates seamlessly with neck rejuvenation

In selected patients an endoscopic facelift can be performed where we can lift the brows and cheeks through hiddin incisions in the hair and contour the neck with incisions behind the ear and under the chin.

This creates results that look refreshed — not pulled that also stands the test of time.

Why Choose a Deep Plane Facelift or Endoscopic Facelift at the ARTIS Institute in South Florida?

Patients in Aventura, Miami, and throughout South Florida often experience:

• Sun-related skin aging
• Midface descent
• Volume loss
• Early jowling
• Neck laxity
• Sun Dam(aged)² Skin

The deep plane technique is ideal for patients who want long-lasting, structurally sound rejuvenation that withstands time and lifestyle factors.

The ARTIS Transformation™ Approach

At the ARTIS Institute, a facelift or endoscopic facelift is never a single technique — it is a carefully engineered transformation.

Deep Plane Structural Elevation

Dr. Sarraga releases and repositions deeper facial tissues to restore youthful anatomy — not simply tighten skin.

This results in:

• Natural cheek elevation
• Softened smile lines
• Harmonized lower face
• Improved jawline contour

Advanced Neck Lift Integration

A true transformation requires addressing the neck.

The ARTIS Transformation™ includes:

• Platysma muscle tightening
• Precision liposculpture
• Multi-plane neck elevation and contouring
• Refinement of the cervicomental angle

The result: a sculpted jawline and smooth neck contour.

Cutting-Edge Technology Integration

Modern facial rejuvenation goes beyond surgical elevation.

UltraClear® with Laser Coring Elite™

The Next Generation of Facial Rejuvenation

One of the most innovative technologies incorporated into the ARTIS Transformation™ is UltraClear Laser with Laser Coring Elite™ technology.

Unlike traditional laser resurfacing, UltraClear is designed to simultaneously improve skin quality, collagen production, and tissue tightening while minimizing downtime.

When combined with a Deep Plane Facelift or an Endoscopic Facelift, UltraClear laseer resurfacing enhances surgical results by treating the skin itself—not just the deeper facial structures.

Benefits include:

• Improved skin tightening
• Tighten target areas without cutting
• Enhanced collagen and elastin production
• Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles
• Improved skin tone and texture
• Reduction in sun damage and pigmentation
• Softening of acne scars
• Improvement in enlarged pores
• Enhanced skin luminosity
• Faster recovery than other traditional ablative laser treatments

Laser Coring Elite™ further advances skin rejuvenation by creating microscopic channels that stimulate tissue remodeling and targeted skin contraction while preserving surrounding healthy tissue.

The result is smoother, firmer, healthier-looking skin that complements the structural improvements achieved through facial surgery with precision tightening to target areas.

Using UltraClear Laser, including laser coring technology, skin texture and firmness are further refined.

Precision Fat Grafting (Structural, MicroFAT and NanoFAT) and STEM CELLS

Volume restoration is critical for natural rejuvenation. 

Strategic fat grafting restores:

• Midface fullness
• Cheek restoration (apple of your eye)
• Glabellar lines (Dreaded 11’s)
• Forehead and brows (droopy or deep forehead expression lines)
• Tear trough support (hollows under our eyes)
• Temple volume (no more peanut face!)
• Facial balance (better volume proportions)
• Perioral wrinkling (smokers lines!)
• Horizontal neck lines (from looking at our phones)

The result is youthful harmony — not overfilling.

The Regenerative Potential of Fat (Adipocyte Derived Stem Cells)

Adipose tissue is more than a source of volume. It also contains a rich population of adipose-derived regenerative cells, including adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs), along with other supportive cells naturally found within fat tissue.

At the ARTIS Institute, Dr. Andres G. Sarraga incorporates the principles of regenerative medicine by utilizing autologous fat whenever appropriate to complement facial rejuvenation. While fat grafting is performed primarily to restore youthful facial volume, ongoing scientific research continues to investigate the role that adipose-derived regenerative cells may play in supporting tissue quality, vascularization, and long-term graft integration.

This why at the ARTIS Institute we can implement the use of your own stem cells with the Time Machine. With a mini liposuction procedure we isolate the SVF stem cells from your own fat during your surgery and have them reinjected intravenously to help you with recovery, pain control and healing.

This biologic approach complements surgical rejuvenation by restoring living tissue and helping your own body heal itself and using biologics like stem cells, exosomes and PRP (platelet rich plasma) rather than relying on solely on synthetic materials.

HEALIOTHERAPY®

Regenerative Medicine for Accelerated Recovery

Recovery is optimized through HEALIOTHERAPY®, the regenerative protocol developed at the ARTIS Institute.

This advanced healing system may include:

• Photobiomodulation (red, blue, near-infrared LED therapy)
• Targeted Nutritional Therapy – HEALio Recovery System
• Tissue-support strategies
• Regenerative medicine (Biologics)
• Oxygen Delivery Therapies

Benefits include:

✔ Faster wound healing

✔ Decreased muscle loss
✔ Enhanced collagen remodeling
✔ Less pain and swelling
✔ Shortened downtime
✔ Optimized long-term outcomes

Patient Safety Is Our Priority

At The ARTIS Institute for Plastic Surgery & Regenerative Medicine, safety is paramount.

We emphasize:

• Board-certified surgical expertise in Plastic Surgery
• Accredited surgical environment
• Careful patient selection
