Deep Plane Lisbon: Lisbon establishes itself as an international reference in facial surgery

The second edition of Deep Plane Lisbon reinforces Up Clinic’s position as a center of innovation and international training, while also establishing Lisbon as a leading hub for advanced education in facial plastic surgery. Over the course of three days, around 50 plastic surgeons from various countries gathered to refine innovative techniques and elevate the standard of the Deep Plane Facelift, with a focus on precision, safety, and consistency of results.

More than just a course, Deep Plane Lisbon stands out as an immersive, hands-on, and highly specialized experience, centered on technical advancement and clinical excellence.

Deep Plane Lisbon: advanced training in facial rejuvenation surgery

Deep Plane Lisbon began at NOVA Medical School, with a structured scientific program combining theoretical knowledge and practical application.

Throughout the course, key facial rejuvenation techniques were covered, including:

• Deep Plane Facelift
• Deep Necklift
• Facial Endoscopy
• Advanced Facial Anatomy

Each session was led by internationally renowned experts, ensuring a rigorous, up-to-date, and anatomy-based approach — a fundamental element for achieving natural and long-lasting results.

Hands-on at Deep Plane Lisbon: practice that makes the difference

One of the distinguishing features of Deep Plane Lisbon is its strong practical component. The second day was entirely dedicated to hands-on cadaver lab training, allowing participants to work directly on anatomical dissection.

This practical approach is essential to:

• Accurately understand anatomical planes
• Refine surgical vectors
• Improve tissue handling
• Increase safety and predictability of results

Each technique was demonstrated in detail, with a focus on systematization — one of the core pillars of the course — where every surgical decision is guided by anatomy.

Live surgery at Deep Plane Lisbon: real-time learning

The final day of Deep Plane Lisbon was dedicated to live surgery broadcasts, enabling participants to observe real procedures in detail and with precision, while also having the opportunity to ask questions in real time.

This format reinforces:

• Transparency in surgical practice
• Intraoperative decision-making
• Technical consistency

Real-time observation complements both the theoretical and practical components, creating a comprehensive and highly differentiated training experience.

UP Clinic and Dr. Tiago Baptista Fernandes at the center of Deep Plane Lisbon

UP Clinic plays a key role in organizing Deep Plane Lisbon, establishing itself as a center of excellence in innovation, education, and facial plastic surgery.

Dr. Tiago Baptista Fernandes, plastic surgeon, director of UP Clinic, and faculty member of the course, was one of the central figures of this international event, increasingly recognized in Portugal as an international reference in cervicofacial lifting.

“It is something that fills us with pride, to have Portugal, UP Clinic, and ourselves involved in this organization.”

Deep Plane Lisbon brought together participants from the Middle East, the United States, and across Europe, further strengthening the international projection of both the clinic and the country in the field of facial surgery.

Deep Plane Lisbon: safety, precision, and evolution in facial surgery

At a time when the Deep Plane Facelift is becoming increasingly relevant for both surgeons and patients, Deep Plane Lisbon stands out for its structured and practical approach.

The course focuses on three essential pillars:

• Surgical safety
• Technical confidence
• Procedural systematization

This combination enhances the quality of results and promotes a more consistent and predictable clinical practice.

Lisbon and UP Clinic as an international reference

The success of this edition of Deep Plane Lisbon reinforces Lisbon as a destination of excellence for advanced medical training and positions UP Clinic as an international hub of knowledge in facial plastic surgery.

In a context of growing demand for more sophisticated rejuvenation techniques, initiatives like Deep Plane Lisbon are essential to ensure that innovation is accompanied by high-quality training.

Deep Plane Lisbon thus stands as much more than a course: it is a platform for growth, knowledge sharing, and excellence in facial surgery.

With the active participation of UP Clinic and Dr. Tiago Baptista Fernandes, Lisbon strengthens its place on the international map of plastic surgery, contributing to the continuous development of safer, more effective, and more natural techniques.
