I’m often asked which facelift technique I prefer: SMAS or Deep Plane.
My answer is always the same: the best technique is the one that fits the patient.
I was trained in Brazil under the renowned Professor Dr. Paulo Mateó, where I learned that facial surgery is not about trends — it’s about anatomy, precision, and individualized planning.
From the beginning of my journey, I understood that true facial rejuvenation requires more than technique.
It requires judgment, experience, and respect for each face’s uniqueness.
That’s why I perform both SMAS and Deep Plane facelifts, selecting the approach based on what will deliver the most natural and balanced result for each patient.
✔ Customized approach
✔ Safe and controlled techniques
✔ Natural, long-lasting outcomes
For me, surgery is not about choosing sides —
it’s about choosing what is right.
My goal has always been to refine, not to transform.
Because true beauty is not created —
it is revealed with knowledge, precision, and respect.
— Dr. Leandro Junqueira
