This comprehensive, personalized approach ensures a natural, rejuvenated look that aligns with each patient’s unique anatomy and goals.
With a deep plane facelift Houston patients should expect the primary advantages to include:
Many surgeons offer types of lifts called “Band-Aid Lifts” or “Lunchtime Lifts.” By lifting the skin from the underlying layers, pulling the skin back, trimming the skin, and closing the incision, the immediate results can look quite good. This is a skin only facelift or cutaneous facelift. However, skin-only lifts last only 6 months to 1 year.
Traditional SMAS lifts performed by other surgeons (AKA SMAS suspension techniques) usually just pull the SMAS layer. Without releasing the underlying attachments and allowing the SMAS to be repositioned without tension makes traditional SMAS suspension lifts last less with less natural looking results.
The RT Mini Facelift also lifts a portion of the SMAS layer and is designed for patients with mild signs of aging. In essence the RT Mini Facelift is a Mini Deep Plane Lift.
The result? A visibly younger and rejuvenated appearance that can significantly boost your confidence and make you feel more comfortable in your own skin.

A facelift is also called a rhytidectomy. A facelift is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate the face. The primary goal of facelift surgery is to tighten tissues that have started sagging due to age and gravity.
A facelift will:
With a facelift Houston patients can tighten the jowls, cheeks, and neck tissues, as well as soften the smile lines. Advances in surgical techniques and materials allow tailoring facelifts for individual patients. A facelift can be a saving grace for those who want to turn back the hands of time and restore youthfulness and buoyancy to the skin around their face.

The neck is made of skin, a collagen-rich matrix layer, and a deep muscle layer. The muscle layer, or platysma, envelops the neck and acts like a sling to support the tissues of the neck. Over time, one or more of these tissue layers may lose elasticity. As the tensile strength of the tissue layers is lost, the underlying tissues tend to droop or herniate.
Gravity and genetics are the key components that can cause signs of aging around the neck area. As aging occurs, gravity pulls on the neck tissues causing them to droop and fall. The collagen and elastin-rich matrix of tissue deep in the skin can also begin to slowly degrade. These actions decrease the amount of support to the tissues of the neck, and over a lifetime, loose tissue (also known as a “waddle”) can form. The platysma muscle also tends to lose its tightness, and splay apart over time.
Dr. Athre’s facelift procedure is performed under local anesthesia, eliminating the need for general anesthesia. This not only enhances patient comfort but also significantly shortens the recovery period.
To further accelerate healing, every facelift includes our comprehensive post-operative recovery program, featuring:
These advanced modalities work synergistically to cut recovery time in half, helping patients return to daily life faster and with greater ease. Importantly, this recovery program is fully included in the facelift experience—no additional cost—because optimal healing shouldn’t be optional.
