Vicki D., 5-Star Google review
"Dr. Daines has truly been the best surgeon, and everything I could have asked for every step of the way. Initially I had reached out to some doctors in the LA area, and was never shown the understanding, charisma, and kindness that Dr. Daines and his team offered until I met them!"
Raquel Z., 5-Star Google review
"I interviewed three different facial plastic surgeons for my lower face and neck lift with laser. My dermatologist recommended Dr. Daines and I’m so glad he did. This was the best experience I could have hoped for. Dr. Daines is great. Funny, honest, a really nice guy and most important, listens to what you say."

What Is a Deep Plane Facelift?
Dr. Steven Daines offers one of today’s most advanced surgical techniques: the deep plane facelift. Unlike traditional facelift techniques that only tighten the skin or superficial tissues, a deep plane facelift lifts and repositions the deeper musculature and connective tissues of the face (SMAS and beyond). By releasing key ligaments and moving the tissues as a single unit, this approach results in:
- A smoother, more natural lift
- Longer-lasting results
- Improved midface volume and contour
- Minimal skin tension for faster healing
Dr. Daines often combines this procedure with complementary treatments like a neck lift or fat transfer to enhance facial harmony.
- Youthful cheeks and jawline
- Reduced deep nasolabial folds and jowling
- Full facial expression—no "frozen" look
- Results that last up to 10+ years
- Minimized scarring
The deep plane facelift offers a superior solution if you’re looking for comprehensive facial rejuvenation with minimal signs of surgery.
- Over a decade of experience performing facelift and facial rejuvenation procedures
- A strong reputation for achieving natural, balanced results—never overdone or “plastic” looking
- A concierge-level experience in a boutique, patient-centered practice in Newport Beach
- A deep commitment to trust, integrity, and patient education
- 9 consecutive years awarded Orange County Medical Association Physician of Excellence
From consultation to recovery, Dr. Daines provides expert guidance and individualized care, making you feel confident and supported every step of the way.
