The Dr. Sinno Difference
Having trained under Dr. Mustoe and other globally renowned plastic surgeons, Dr. Sinno is a highly skilled plastic surgeon with an extensive background in facial anatomy and advanced rejuvenation techniques.
- Master of the hybrid dual-plane deep plane approach
- Facial surgery articles published in multiple leading scientific journals
- Advanced facial fat grafting techniques
- Personalized, optimal outcomes
Dr. Sinno’s expertise allows him to approach facelift surgery with a deep understanding of aesthetic ideals and individualized patient needs. He ensures that he customizes each procedure for the most natural-looking, harmonious results. By combining technical precision with an artistic eye, Dr. Sinno delivers facelift results that leave patients looking refreshed, restored, and confident, never overdone.
Comprehensive Facelift Results, Tailored to You
Dr. Sinno doesn’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to facial rejuvenation. Instead, he performs an in-depth assessment of each patient’s facial anatomy and signs of aging to develop a tailored surgical plan. He aims to reverse aging and create refreshed, harmonious results that look natural, not surgical. This philosophy also applies to his masterful approach to breast enhancement and body contouring.
Addressing the Full Aging Face
Using a facelift approach that is personalized and holistic, Dr. Sinno evaluates all regions of the face and neck for signs of aging to provide subtle yet powerful correction. This includes attention to:
- Neck laxity and muscle banding
- Jowls and jawline definition loss
- Midface sagging and volume depletion
- Nasolabial folds and marionette lines
- Eyelid heaviness or drooping brows (when needed)
Rather than a piecemeal approach to your procedure, Dr. Sinno treats the aging face comprehensively, ensuring balanced and natural results that help you look like a refreshed version of yourself.
The Dual-Plane Deep Plane Facelift Technique: A Step-by-Step Overview
Dr. Sinno has refined his signature “dual-plane deep plane” facelift technique to deliver powerful yet elegant results. This advanced method goes beyond simply tightening the skin:
- Neck Rejuvenation With Platysmaplasty
A small incision under the chin offers access to superficial and deep fat and muscle banding for precise contouring and tightening of the lower face and neck. - Deep Lifting and Elevating
Dr. Sinno lifts and repositions the deeper facial tissues through discreet incisions hidden around the ear and hairline. This step is critical for achieving natural movement and long-lasting rejuvenation. - Tailored Skin Redraping and Closure
Skin is redraped with careful attention to vector and tension, minimizing the risk of an overdone look. Incisions are often closed in multiple layers for optimal healing and nearly invisible scars. - Volume Restoration as Needed
Dr. Sinno often performs fat grafting to restore youthful fullness to areas such as the cheeks or temples.
He applies careful discretion when determining the extent to which facial tissues are released in both the subcutaneous and deep planes to deliver a powerful yet natural lift.
Enhancing Your Results With Complementary Procedures
Dr. Sinno often combines facelift surgery with other facial procedures to restore overall harmony and youthfulness:
- Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) to correct puffiness or sagging around the eyes
- Lateral brow lift for a subtle elevation and refreshed upper face
- Laser skin resurfacing or chemical peels to improve skin radiance and texture
- Nonsurgical options such as BOTOX® Cosmetic, fillers, or microneedling to maintain your youthful postsurgery look
These additions are carefully considered during your consultation with Dr. Sinno to ensure cohesive, balanced outcomes.
Recovery & Natural Healing
Thanks to Dr. Sinno’s meticulous surgical technique and emphasis on minimizing trauma to tissues, most patients experience:
- Less bruising and swelling
- Faster recovery
- Exceptional scar healing
He uses a specialized blend of local anesthetics designed to enhance comfort and minimize pain and bleeding postoperatively. Dr. Sinno also provides a tailored scar care protocol, including access to medical-grade skin care and postoperative aesthetic treatments.
A Commitment to Purpose & Precision
For Dr. Sinno, facelift surgery is more than a procedure—it’s a calling that blends artistry, anatomy, and the pursuit of excellence. From his early training days, he has viewed facial rejuvenation as the pinnacle of plastic surgery, where even the most subtle refinements require both technical mastery and a deep understanding of each patient’s unique features.
Trained by Dr. Mustoe and some of the foremost pioneers in facial rejuvenation, Dr. Sinno has spent years advancing his techniques to deliver natural-looking, lasting results. For him, the most significant reward lies in helping patients feel more youthful, energized, and confident—restoring their appearance and a sense of vibrancy despite the passing of time.
