Advanced Facial Rejuvenation with Dr. Renato Saltz

Earlier this month, world-renowned plastic surgeon Renato Saltz, MD hosted an advanced surgical event in Salt Lake City and Park City, Utah, giving attendees an inside look at his revolutionary approach to facial rejuvenation, the Endo Deep Plane Lift. The event, held at St. Mark’s Hospital Surgery Center at 45th, featured live commentary from Dr. Saltz as he explained his signature Full SMAS: Endoscopy Assisted Full Facial Rejuvenation technique. Using the AED EndoPro® 3D Visualization System, he illustrated how advanced endoscopic technology and deep-plane surgical principles work together to restore youthful facial contours while minimizing swelling and recovery time.

Dr. Saltz described the hybrid approach in detail, including endoscopic release of key ligaments in the upper and mid-face, open deep-plane dissection of the lower face and neck, comprehensive SMAS repositioning, and invisible incisions placed behind the hairline. He emphasized that the goal is a natural, long-lasting lift that is safer and less invasive than traditional facelift methods.

Throughout the event, he highlighted how the AED EndoPro® 3D system provides stereoscopic imaging that enhances depth perception and spatial awareness. “This technology allows the surgical team to see every structure clearly, making procedures more precise and safer,” Dr. Saltz explained. He also noted that the 3D visualization improves communication among the operating room team and ensures that every step can be followed accurately, reducing risk and improving outcomes.

Dr. Saltz’s expertise is backed by more than 30 years of experience, over 30,000 surgeries performed, and more than 5,000 facial rejuvenation procedures. A Clinical Professor of Plastic Surgery at the University of Utah and past president of both the American and International Societies for Aesthetic Surgery (ASAPS & ISAPS), he has delivered over 500 presentations worldwide, authored eight books, contributed to more than 50 book chapters, and published over 100 peer-reviewed articles.
