The jawline often tells the story of facial aging first—skin laxity, heaviness, and loss of definition can gradually change the overall appearance of the face. In this before-and-after, you can see how sagging skin along the jawline was repositioned and refined to create a smoother, tighter, and more defined contour after facelift surgery.

The goal is never to look “pulled” or overdone. A well-executed facelift restores structure and support while still looking natural, balanced, and like yourself—just more refreshed.

Small details. Meaningful transformation.

Refining the nose can bring greater balance and definition to the face while preserving each patient’s natural features. The goal is not to create a dramatic change, but to improve facial harmony in a way that feels subtle, balanced, and authentic.

Strategic, precise adjustments can make a meaningful difference—enhancing proportions and profile without looking overdone.

Dr. Ackerman is one of few surgeons that specializes in the “Closed Rhinoplasty” method; not only does this technique eliminate a visible scar under the nose, it tends to give a more refined and natural appearance.

Men often pursue facial rejuvenation to restore sharper definition along the jawline, improve neck contour, and reduce the tired or heavier appearance that develops with age—all while preserving masculine features and natural character.

The art of a successful male facelift lies in restraint. Overcorrection, excessive tension, or loss of natural facial angles can create an unnatural or overly operated appearance. The goal is not to alter identity, but to restore stronger structure and a more refreshed version of the same face.

For male patients, maintaining angularity, facial balance, and masculine proportions is just as critical as addressing jowling, skin laxity, and neck aging.

Refreshed. Defined. Still unmistakably you.

Before major skin laxity or advanced aging sets in, subtle structural changes can still make someone look more tired, heavy, or less defined than they feel.

This patient had minimal loose skin, but early descent in the midface, softening of the jawline, and loss of youthful facial support. A Deep Plane Facelift is not simply about removing excess skin—it repositions deeper facial tissues back to a more youthful, anatomically natural position.

For the right candidate, addressing these changes earlier can create a more subtle, natural result with less need for dramatic correction later on. The goal is never to change how you look—only to restore what time has gradually shifted.

When the audio says “it’s time to go off,” we took that personally.

Off goes the heaviness, laxity, and loss of definition.
On comes a sharper jawline, smoother neck, and refreshed appearance with a Deep Plane Face & Neck Lift and blepharoplasty.

Subtle, structural, and natural-looking rejuvenation.

Men often seek facial rejuvenation for a more defined jawline, smoother neck contour, and a less tired or heavy appearance, while still maintaining masculine facial structure and natural character.

The key to a successful male facelift is subtlety. Overcorrection, excessive skin tension, or loss of natural angles can create an operated look. A well-executed facelift should restore what time has changed—not erase identity.

For male patients, preserving strong contours and avoiding feminization is just as important as addressing sagging, jowls, and neck laxity.

A refreshed appearance. Same face. Stronger definition.

A Deep Plane Face & Neck Lift addresses aging at a deeper structural level, repositioning descended tissues for longer-lasting and more natural rejuvenation.

A refreshed look that still feels completely like you.

A brief visit to NYC after Aesthetic Meeting in Boston. Enjoyed wonderful time with my two kids; boy do they grow up fast 💕

05/16/2026

I am honored to be invited to give a Deep Plane Facelift teaching course at The Aesthetic Society Meeting in Boston alongside colleagues and leaders shaping the future of facial rejuvenation, surgical innovation, and aesthetic medicine.

From deep dives into advanced surgical techniques to discussions on emerging technology and evolving patient expectations, these meetings are where ideas turn into progress.

Always learning. Always refining. Always pushing for better results for patients.

Not all facelifts are created equal—and the difference is more than just terminology.

Both SMAS and deep plane facelifts address the SMAS layer, the deeper structural layer beneath the skin that plays a major role in facial aging. But what many patients don’t realize is that this layer behaves differently depending on where you are in the face.

Along the outer face, the SMAS is relatively fixed and less mobile. As you move inward toward the cheeks, nasolabial folds, and mouth, it becomes far more mobile—and this is where many of the most visible signs of aging develop.

A traditional SMAS facelift primarily lifts from the more lateral (outer) face, improving contour by tightening and repositioning tissue in areas with less mobility.

A deep plane facelift takes this a step further by releasing deeper facial retaining ligaments and repositioning tissue more medially—closer to where aging actually occurs.

Why does this matter?

Because facial aging is not just about loose skin. It’s about deeper structural descent. Addressing the tissues that have truly shifted often allows for a more natural, balanced rejuvenation without an overly tight or operated appearance.

The technique matters—but more importantly, understanding “what” is being lifted, “where”, and “how” is what ultimately shapes the result.
