In Dr. Hani Rayess's own words

How Dr. Hani Rayess describes their own approach, from their Instagram posts. Each statement links to the original.

Approach

  • I think the muscle serves a function and I'm a muscle preserver
  • And regarding the fat pads, we're very careful with what we remove
  • The preservation approach that we take leaves a lot of the skin still attached
  • The doctor's approach to brow lifts is simple.

Specialization

  • Specializes as a Facial Plastic Surgeon

Technique

  • For the upper eyelids, we removed the extra skin to reduce heaviness
  • So the things that we do to prevent that is we would keep your muscle intact, we do not resect muscle
  • For the lower eyelids, we used a transconjunctival approach (through the inside of the eyelid)

Recovery guidance

  • We still want you moving your lower body, keeping your body active

Results

  • With my approach, the goal is to avoid that hollow, overdone look

About

Dr. Hani Rayess is a Double Board Certified Otolaryngologist and Facial Plastic Surgeon practicing in Tampa, Florida. He specializes in facial plastic surgery, including facelifts, rhinoplasty, and injectables like Botox and dermal fillers. Dr. Rayess's philosophy for all facial rejuvenation procedures is for patients to look refreshed and natural, still like themselves. He uses a preservation deep plane technique for facelifts, focusing the lift on the deeper support layer (SMAS) while leaving more skin attached, aiming for a natural, un-pulled result. For skin quality, he often combines nanofat, PRP, and CO2 laser resurfacing. When performing upper eyelid surgery, Dr. Rayess aims to avoid a hollow or overdone appearance by preserving muscle and carefully targeting fat removal only when necessary, typically from the medial fat pocket. For lower eyelid surgery, he uses an incisionless approach through the inside of the eyelid, often paired with CO2 laser resurfacing to improve skin texture and fine lines. Dr. Rayess also performs otoplasty to address prominent ears, often under local anesthesia with hidden incisions, to enhance confidence. His approach to brow lifts is nuanced, focusing on subtle elevation, sometimes using a lateral brow lift, to reduce heaviness around the eyes without creating a surprised look.

Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Hani Rayess

Sourced directly from Dr. Hani Rayess's social posts and replies.

Do deep plane facelift and necklift address wrinkles?
While deep plane facelift and necklift primarily address sagging, wrinkles typically require different or complementary treatments.
Source →
Why does Dr. Rayess avoid aggressive fat removal in upper eyelid surgery?
Aggressive fat removal during upper eyelid surgery can lead to a hollow appearance, making the eyes look older or sunken over time.
Source →
What can patients expect in early necklift recovery?
A nice contour can often be observed developing in the neck as early as day 3 post-facial rejuvenation, which is a positive indicator for final results.
Source →
What is the typical swelling like on day 3 after facial rejuvenation?
Swelling is expected on day 3 post-op after facial rejuvenation and will continue to change as recovery progresses.
Source →
What is Otoplasty?
Otoplasty, also known as an ear setback, is a procedure designed to treat prominent ears by moving them closer to the head so they blend in and other facial features stand out more.
Source →
What type of anesthesia is used for Otoplasty?
Otoplasty can often be performed under local anesthesia.
Source →
Where are Otoplasty incisions located?
Otoplasty incisions are hidden behind the ear.
Source →

Recovery from Otoplasty is usually quick.
Source →
What is a deep plane facelift?
A deep plane facelift lifts the deeper support layer (SMAS) of the face, rather than just the skin, to achieve a natural, not pulled, result.
Source →
What can I realistically expect on the first day after comprehensive facial rejuvenation?
Patients undergoing a facelift, necklift, upper and lower eyelid surgery, and CO2 laser can realistically expect a first-day post-operative experience, including pain level and diet, similar to patient Lori's experience (refer to video DYNuEvZBneS for details).

Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

What areas of care does Dr. Hani Rayess cater to?
Dr. Rayess specializes in facial plastic surgery, addressing concerns related to the ear, nose, and throat. His expertise includes facelifts, rhinoplasty, Botox, fillers, chin liposuction, and treatment for conditions like earaches, ear infections, hearing loss, sleep apnea, and snoring. Utilizes deep plane facelift and necklift techniques to effectively address facial and neck sagging. He employs a preservation deep plane technique for facelifts, which involves leaving more skin attached and focusing the lift on the SMAS/deeper support layer to ensure a natural, un-pulled result. Often combines nanofat, PRP, and CO2 laser resurfacing to enhance skin quality, texture, and achieve a more youthful appearance. He frequently pairs CO2 laser resurfacing with lower eyelid surgery for comprehensive periorbital rejuvenation. For upper eyelid surgery, Dr. Rayess's approach focuses on avoiding a hollow or overdone appearance, aiming for a natural, refreshed look. He typically preserves muscle and avoids aggressive fat removal, targeting fat removal only from the medial fat pocket when necessary. He emphasizes that the goal is to remove extra skin and preserve natural fullness. Otoplasty is particularly beneficial for individuals seeking to improve confidence and comfort by addressing prominent ears, often for those who have spent years covering them with their hair. Considers brow lifts to be a nuanced procedure, focusing on subtle elevation to reduce heaviness and crowding around the eyes without creating a 'surprised' look. He often finds that lifting the entire brow is not necessary, preferring a targeted approach like a lateral brow lift when appropriate.
