Deep Plane Facelift

Dr. Mentz performs the deep plane and extended SMAS vertical facelift — a technically demanding approach that repositions deeper facial tissues rather than merely pulling skin. With over 3,000 facelifts performed and a national Newsweek ranking of #8, he is among the most experienced facelift surgeons in the United States. All-inclusive pricing covers anesthesia, accredited on-site surgical facility, and surgical time.

Dr. Henry Mentz has built one of the most recognised facelift practices in the United States from his Houston Galleria-area surgical centre at 4400 Post Oak Parkway. His approach centres on the deep plane and extended SMAS vertical facelift — a technique that addresses the deeper structural layers of the face and neck rather than superficial skin tension. This produces more natural, longer-lasting results compared to skin-only or limited SMAS techniques, with reduced risk of the telltale pulled appearance that can result from simpler approaches. With over 3,000 facelifts performed across a career spanning 35+ years and triple board certification in Plastic Surgery, Facial Plastic Surgery, and Head & Neck Surgery, Dr. Mentz is uniquely credentialed to handle primary and revision facelift cases. He is ranked #8 nationally for facelift by Newsweek (2025) and named to their America's Best Plastic Surgeons list every year from 2021 to 2025. He also offers the AlphaLift — a male-specific facelift approach that respects masculine facial anatomy and hairline position. Procedures are performed at the ACPS SurgiCentre, the on-site AAAASF (Quad A) accredited surgical facility co-located with the practice. Pricing is all-inclusive: the quoted fee covers surgeon time, anesthesia, and full facility use, with no separate billing for anaesthesiologist or operating room fees. A $250 consultation includes computer imaging. For Houston residents and medical travellers coming to Texas, Dr. Mentz's practice offers access to nationally ranked facelift expertise at a dedicated centre with a support team experienced in coordinating out-of-town patients.
