Dr. Ronald Caniglia, MD

Dr. Ronald Caniglia is a Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon practicing in Scottsdale, Arizona. He focuses on procedures for the face and neck, including facelifts, eyelid surgery, rhinoplasty, and ear surgery. Dr. Caniglia performs extended deep plane preservation facelifts, noting that older methods often resulted in a tight or windswept appearance due to insufficient release of deeper structures and excessive skin tension. His technique involves fully releasing and repositioning the deeper layers of the face to their natural position from 10-15 years prior, followed by gentle redraping of the skin and removal of excess, ensuring a result that heals without looking stretched or pulled. He considers the neck as important as the face, carefully reducing deeper fat, muscle, or gland tissue as needed to define the neck and jawline. The goal is a meaningful transformation that maintains the patient's natural appearance, looking refreshed, balanced, and natural, understanding that natural can be dramatic and does not have to mean subtle. All facelift procedures are performed without drains or intubation, on an outpatient basis, allowing patients to recover at home the same day.
