Logical Approaches to the Deep Plane and Facial Aging

This video series by Dr. Ben Talei is a professional educational resource for surgeons who want to move beyond outdated theories in facial plastic surgery. It combines detailed anatomic descriptions and landmarks with analysis of glide planes, external anatomic landmarks, and vectors of descent to build a clear understanding of facial anatomy and aging.

Across more than 11 hours of operative video, five complete cases demonstrate deep plane release in the face, neck, and brow, showing how proper vectorial manipulation and repositioning of ptotic tissues is achieved. The series also explains why failures occur and how to avoid them by refuting incorrect beliefs about skin delamination, vectors of lifting, overcorrection, and other perpetuated teachings. The Cupid Lift algorithm and technique are described in detail on video for the first time.

Delivered as four MP4 files totaling 39.87 GB, this 2023 edition is presented in English by QMP. The included cases range from a comprehensive deep plane face and neck lift with submental contouring to a weekend internal deep plane neck lift, a deep plane lip lift, and a comprehensive male procedure, covering techniques such as endoscopic-style hybrid brow lift, upper and lower blepharoplasty, ptosis repair, and facial fat grafting.
