The technique integrates deep plane surgery with facial nerve monitoring to support more natural outcomes and reduce surgical risk.
Bashar Bizrah, MD, FRCS, a facial plastic surgeon practicing in Dubai and London, has introduced a facelift technique in the MENA region that combines deep plane surgery with real-time nerve monitoring to enhance precision and patient safety.
At the core of the approach is the deep plane facelift, a method that targets not only the skin but also the deeper layers of facial structure, including muscles and connective tissue. According to Bizrah, this technique aims to deliver more natural and longer-lasting results compared to conventional facelifts, which often rely solely on skin tightening.
What distinguishes Bizrah’s facelift method is the use of facial nerve monitoring during surgery. The technology allows the surgical team to track nerve activity in real time, aiming to reduce the risk of nerve injury and allowing for immediate adjustments during the procedure. This, he says, helps maintain the patient’s natural facial expressions and minimizes complications.
“We don’t just create beauty—we protect human identity,” says Bizrah in a release. “A smile, a glance, a subtle expression—all are part of a person’s essence. It’s our responsibility as surgeons to preserve them with the utmost precision. This technology allows us to do just that.”
One patient who has undergone the updated facelift procedure described the results as exceeding expectations, noting a sharper jawline, tighter skin, and a more youthful appearance—all without visible signs of surgery, according to a release from Bizrah’s clinic.
Bizrah’s clinic reports that Bizrah has performed more than 45,000 facial plastic surgeries.
