In the heart of Tysons Corner, award-winning plastic surgeon Dr. Munique Maia is redefining the facelift experience—where stunning, natural-looking results no longer come with the telltale signs of surgery.
While the facelift has long been the gold standard for facial rejuvenation, many patients remain hesitant, not because of the recovery or results—but because of the fear of visible scarring or an over-pulled look. Dr. Maia is changing that narrative.
A Deeper Approach to Beauty
Dr. Maia specializes in the deep plane facelift, a technique that goes beneath the surface—literally. Unlike traditional methods that pull and tighten skin at the surface level, this approach lifts and repositions the deeper facial layers, including the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system). The result? A remarkably natural appearance with no pulled or “windswept” look.
But here’s the real beauty of the deep plane technique: it eliminates tension on the skin, which is one of the primary causes of noticeable scars. By lifting the foundational layers rather than stretching the skin, Dr. Maia allows the surface to gently settle into place, leading to softer, finer incision lines that often become nearly invisible over time.
Invisible Details, Impeccable Technique
Dr. Maia’s meticulous attention to incision placement is also key. Using discreet entry points along the natural contours of the ear and hairline, she ensures scars are not just minimal—they’re strategically hidden. The precision of her technique is rooted in both artistry and advanced surgical training, having been recognized as one of the top facial plastic surgeons on the East Coast.
Why Patients Are Traveling to Tysons Corner for This Procedure
Patients from across the country seek out Dr. Maia not only for her reputation but for her ability to deliver results that are undetectably “done.” Her facelifts are designed to restore, not alter. The jawline is sharpened, the cheeks subtly lifted, and the neck gracefully contoured—all without giving away the secret behind the transformation.
What to Expect from Deep Plane Facelift Recovery?
Because the deep plane technique lifts deeper tissue without placing strain on the skin, healing tends to be smoother. Patients typically experience less bruising and swelling than the traditional facelift, and the incision sites are under less stress, allowing them to heal beautifully. It’s important to remember, however, that healing is an individual journey. Factors like a patient’s overall health, skin type, adherence to post-operative instructions, and the surgeon’s skill all play a significant role in the outcome. Many of Dr. Maia’s patients feel confident returning to social events within 4-5 weeks—without needing to cover up scars.

With her refined technique, strict scar post-op protocol, and artistic eye, she achieves the kind of rejuvenation that turns heads—without anyone guessing why.
