Facial aging affects more than just the surface of the skin. Over time, deeper facial structures descend, volume shifts, and the neck loses definition. While traditional facelifts can tighten loose skin, they don’t always address the underlying causes of aging. The KalosLift facelift, developed and performed by Dr. Benjamin Stong, is an advanced evolution of the deep plane facelift designed to restore natural facial contours with long-lasting, refined results.
What Makes the KalosLift Different?
The KalosLift is not a standard facelift. It is a specialized mini extended deep plane technique that lifts both the skin and the underlying SMAS (superficial musculo-aponeurotic system) as a unified structure. By addressing the deeper layers of the face rather than relying on skin tightening alone, the KalosLift creates a more natural and youthful appearance.
This approach allows the face to move and age more naturally after surgery, avoiding the overly tight or “pulled” look often associated with older facelift techniques.
Advanced Rejuvenation of the Face and Neck
One of the defining advantages of the KalosLift is its ability to comprehensively rejuvenate the midface, lower face, and neck in a single procedure. Aging changes are addressed where they originate, resulting in smoother transitions and balanced contours.
Key refinements include:
- Restoration of cheek volume and midface elevation
- Improved definition of the jawline
- Softening of deep nasolabial folds
- Enhanced neck contour through platysma muscle repositioning
The result is a refreshed appearance that looks natural, not surgical.
Thoughtful Incisions and Refined Technique
Dr. Stong designed the KalosLift with both results and recovery in mind. Carefully placed, smaller incisions help minimize visible scarring and support a smoother healing process. Extended midface dissection allows for better correction of volume loss in the upper cheeks, which plays a major role in facial aging.
By lifting deeper tissues rather than pulling skin tight, the KalosLift often produces results that last longer than traditional facelift techniques.
Enhanced Neck Definition with Platysma Repositioning
The neck is often one of the first areas to show signs of aging. The KalosLift includes advanced neck refinement by repositioning the platysma muscle, which helps smooth vertical bands and restore a more youthful neckline.
This deeper neck correction provides a natural contour that blends seamlessly with the refreshed lower face and jawline.
Natural Results That Reflect You
Patients who choose the KalosLift often want to look rested, healthier, and more confident—not different. Because the procedure repositions underlying structures rather than simply tightening skin, facial expressions remain soft and authentic.
Clinical experience shows that deep plane facelift techniques can provide longer-lasting results, often maintaining improvement for 10 years or more when combined with proper skincare and healthy habits.
Expertise Matters
The KalosLift requires exceptional surgical skill and a deep understanding of facial anatomy. Dr. Ben Stong is dual board-certified and fellowship trained, with extensive experience performing advanced facelift techniques and he is the only surgeon who performs the KalosLift. His patient-centered approach ensures that each procedure is tailored to individual anatomy, goals, and facial balance.
