It’s not just volume loss!
As we age, facial changes are often misunderstood as simply “losing volume.” In reality, much of what we see is volume redistribution—fat pads descend from their youthful position. This creates heaviness in the lower face, flattening through the midface, and deepening folds. Adding volume alone without correcting this descent can lead to an artificial appearance.
A deep plane facelift addresses the root cause. By releasing and vertically repositioning the deeper facial structures (mobile SMAS), Dr. Stong restores tissue back to its original position—lifting the midface, refining the jawline, and reestablishing youthful proportions. The goal isn’t to “add” volume, but to restore balance—bringing the face back to its natural ratios.
At Kalos, this is refined through the KalosLift—Dr. Stong’s advanced mini extended deep plane facelift. With an emphasis on vertical lift (often 75–85%), periosteal fixation, and comprehensive neck contouring, the technique is designed for both natural aesthetics and long-term structural support.
Kalos is recognized as the Center of Excellence for Deep Plane Facelifting, with an exclusive focus on advanced facial plastic surgery.
The result is subtle yet dramatic—natural definition, balanced contours, and a refreshed appearance that still looks like you.
