If you've been anywhere near social media over the last couple of years, you've likely come across the phrase "six-figure facelift." While it sounds like a single procedure, the term is often colloquially used to describe a highly customized approach to facial rejuvenation, with the deep-plane facelift at the centre of it.
Increasingly associated with natural-looking, long-lasting results, the deep-plane facelift is designed to create a subtle transformation that restores facial structure while preserving what makes you look like yourself.
And while the technique has been widely linked to the Hollywood elite — Kris Jenner is among the most discussed recent examples online — this level of facial artistry isn't exclusive to Los Angeles.
In Yorkville, Dr. Cory Torgerson has been performing deep-plane facelifts for years, earning a reputation for bespoke facial design that delivers the same calibre of refined, high-precision rejuvenation — right here in Toronto.

Facelift techniques continue to evolve, and many traditional approaches focus primarily on tightening skin and superficial tissue, such as the SMAS facelift.
The deep-plane facelift works beneath those surface layers, allowing the surgeon to reposition and support deeper facial structures.
By addressing the foundation of the face rather than the skin alone, the technique is often considered more restorative — creating results that look more refreshed and natural.
Customization is also a defining part of the "$100K facelift" standard, and Dr. Torgerson brings that same philosophy to his work. Each facelift is carefully designed based on a patient's anatomy, aging pattern and aesthetic goals.
For many patients, that level of tailoring is why facial rejuvenation feels less like a trend and more like a long-term investment in confidence — one that enhances who they already are.
