top Deep Plane Facelift Surgeon

As we age, the face is often the first place to show it, through wrinkles, fine lines, and jowling. These changes can make you look older than you feel and quietly affect your confidence.

Dr. Catherine Chang, MD, FACS, is a Beverly Hills facial plastic surgeon who specializes in the deep plane facelift, a technique that lifts and tightens the face and neck from beneath the surface. She is recognized for exceptionally natural results that take years off her patients’ appearance.
Quadruple Ivy League educated and a craniofacial specialist, Dr. Chang brings advanced training and modern techniques to every facelift. Her deep understanding of facial anatomy allows her to address the underlying causes of skin laxity and jowling, not just the surface.
Traditional facelifts pull the face horizontally. Dr. Chang’s techniques lift the face almost entirely vertically, working directly against the downward pull of gravity on the skin and underlying soft tissue.

Advanced SMAS Facelift Techniques

Dr. Chang performs her facelifts using SMAS (Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System) based techniques. The SMAS is the supportive layer that lies beneath the skin and fat and connects to the overlying tissue. Lifting this deeper layer, rather than pulling the skin alone, repositions the face as a whole for a cohesive, natural result.

Because the lift is vertical, it avoids the tight, “worked-on” look that a backward skin pull can create.

Dr. Chang performs six different SMAS lift techniques, including her signature deep plane facelift, and selects the right approach for each patient for a truly bespoke, natural-looking result.
Reviews

What Our Clients Say

After many hours spent looking at pictures, studying surgeons' credentials, reading reviews and staring at my aging face, I chose Catherine Chang, MD for my facelift, neck lift, blepharoplasty and CO2 laser procedure. It was a leap of faith that came with great anxiety in the midst of a pandemic year. My first visit with Dr. Chang was unhurried and she took the time to explain the procedures she was recommending as well as the results that could be expected. Her confidence and understanding were reassuring. Dr. Chang is a skilled surgeon, talented and perceptive. She understood what I was looking for. State of the art results: Dr. Chang is an amazing young woman, a perfectionist.
Muriel G.Los Angeles, CA
Dr. Chang is AMAZING. I’d had incredibly severe breathing issues my whole life—I’m talking sinus headaches, blurry vision, absolutely *no* airflow through one side of my nose—all from an extremely deviated septum. On top of everything else, the septum issue created a huge bump in my nose that proved to be very problematic for my career as a performer. As a woman of color, finding a doctor who could improve my quality of life, adjust my profile, but simultaneously honor my heritage and my ethnicity was a terrifying thought. I wanted to solve my problem, but I wanted to come out looking like me. I was overwhelmed by the fear of not being heard—as I’d had many other experiences where my dignity as a patient was clearly not the priority.
Sydney H.Los Angeles, CA
Dr. Catherine Chang changed my life. At 43, I unfortunately had aged prematurely in my lower face and neck and was so unhappy with my changing appearance. I had met with a couple of other surgeons but was too scared to trust them with such a big surgery. Not only is Dr. Chang professionally incredible but she is also cool and sweet as can be and every office visit is a joy. I am so grateful I found Dr. Catherine Chang!
Shana H.Los Angeles, CA
"Dr. Chang is absolutely amazing. I am beyond happy and thankful that I chose to have my procedure with her! Words can't describe how happy I am! My recovering was less than 3 days! Same day I was already on my feet! I only took pain medication for about a day. I recovered so fast, not a single issue. Now the best part is the results, the result is INCREDIBLE. Exactly what I wanted! Thank you Dr. Chang!!!"
D.M.Los Angeles, CA
"Dr. Catherine Chang is a masterful plastic surgeon! I cannot say enough about how happy I am with the results of my recent surgery! I have "cred" as they say because I'm in the business of medical aesthetics--a Registered Nurse in this field since the early 2000's. I have been extremely fortunate to work with legendary plastic surgeons in Beverly Hills. Thank you Dr. Chang for restoring this face and neck!"
Joy E.Los Angeles, CA
"Dr. Cat Chang is amazing! I wish there were more than 5 stars I could give her. After years of contemplation, I went ahead and had the rhinoplasty (nose job) I have always wanted with Dr. Chang. I could not be more pleased with the results! I love my new profile, it is exactly what I hoped for!"
Kat K.Santa Monica, CA
"Simply put, Dr. Chang is phenomenal on so many levels! It was such an easy decision to choose her to perform my breast implant replace and lift surgery. Apart from having a "rock star" academic resume, upon meeting her I was immediately impressed as she has a very caring demeanor, is personable, professional, compassionate, but most importantly, incredibly experienced and knowledgeable."

The Deep Plane Facelift Procedure
Dr. Chang performs her deep plane facelifts under IV twilight sedation, without general anesthesia, so you remain comfortable and relaxed throughout.
Who is a Candidate for a deep plane Facelift in Beverly Hills?

The best candidates have signs of aging that are most noticeable in the mid and lower face, including:

  • Loose skin
  • Jowling
  • Drooping cheeks
  • Creases along the nasolabial folds
  • Wrinkles and creases
  • Excess skin along the jawline and upper neck


By addressing these concerns, Dr. Chang can help you look and feel refreshed and confident again.

Recovery After a Deep Plane Facelift

Many patients assume a deep plane facelift means a longer recovery. In Dr. Chang’s hands, it does not. Her technique keeps the skin attached to the deeper tissue it is lifted with, which limits trauma to the face. Most patients resume normal activities within a few weeks.
