How has Dr. Harley's surgical technique for facelifts and neck lifts evolved?
Dr. Harley's surgical technique has changed over time. Between 2012 and 2019, he primarily used a lateral SMASectomy technique (popularized by Dr. Dan Baker) and corset platysmaplasty to tighten the neck. While these are not considered deep plane techniques, they were very effective for the right patients, and the practice performed several hundred facelifts per year with high patient satisfaction. Towards the end of this period, he began adopting more of a deep plane philosophy.
