Benefits of Dr. Lam’s Deep Plane Facelift

A facelift with Dr. Lam is fundamentally different from the approaches of many other surgeons. Rather than pulling the skin tight, his technique restores the underlying structures of the face to where they were before aging occurred. By releasing key retaining ligaments that connect the SMAS tissue to the underlying parotid gland, he repositions the cheeks, jawline, and neck in a way that looks natural and holds over time.

His multi-vector lifting approach is central to this philosophy. The jawline is restored along a more horizontal vector to reestablish definition, while the middle and upper face are elevated more vertically to counteract gravity. This avoids the overly tight or “windswept” appearance associated with older facelift techniques.

Patients experience:

Restored Midface Position

Elevates the cheeks and softens deep folds by repositioning deeper tissues rather than relying on surface tightening.

Defined Jawline and Neck

Improves jowling and neck laxity for a more structured, youthful profile.

Natural, Unoperated Appearance

Achieved through deep structural repositioning with minimal tension on the skin.

Long-Lasting Results

Addresses the root causes of aging for outcomes that stand the test of time.

I have been a patient for 16 years. Dr Lam is an artist when it comes to facial physiology. I have recommended him to in and out of state friends and family for hair restoration and facial surgery. I just love the staff and the serenity of the office. It’s always a pleasure to visit.

I was referred to Dr. Lam from another provider and have been blown away with his treatment for my facial paralysis due to Ramsay Hunt Syndrome. Prior to seeing Dr.Lam I was experiencing complete facial paralysis of the left side of my face that did not resolve after my other Ramsay symptoms went away. I had tried several other treatments and had seen little to no results. Dr. Lam was able to restore movement to my face after just one treatment and after three treatments I am almost completely back to symmetry. Every part of the experience was exceptional, and Ruby and the rest of Dr Lam’s staff are all exceptional. My only regret is waiting a couple of months to get in and wish I had started it sooner! I am beyond thrilled with the results and will be seeing Dr. Lam for all of my facial treatments going forward.

I’m so thankful for this extraordinary human being, savant, academic teacher, and compassionate caregiver. I met Dr. Lam 18 years ago , and found him exquisitely curious, with the desire to improve the lives of his patients, and his brutally honest approach —to find individual solutions tailored to each person . Dr. Lam has no equal. I reached out to seek cosmetic support, after losing my husband and son. Dr. Lam gently advised me to fix the grief that stymied my life, and shared his breakthrough treatment for traumatic loss, rape, kidnapping , anxiety, grief, depression. He’s helped many people all over the country. I immediately drove 7 hours for his next available appointment. The treatment consists of multi injections similar to acupuncture—( he cautioned it hurts- for me, it did not). Immediately, I felt untangled with a profound sense of relief and peace. I’m looking forward to a new start, the ability to move forward, with the support of a physician who truly cares about the people he treats. As a scientist, a psychological researcher, I seek the truth, based on my faith —and an open mind to possibilities unexplored. One final word, don’t give up, there is hope with this brilliant physician.
