FINANCIAL TIMES featuring Dr. Min-hee Ryu with Dr. Andrew Jacono for DEEP PLANE FACELIFT surgery

Dr. Min-Hee Ryu was featured alongside internationally recognized facial plastic surgeon Dr. Andrew Jacono in the Financial Times’ HTSI Beauty Special exploring modern Facial Rejuvenation and DEEP PLANE FACELIFT surgery.

The Financial Times’ luxury and lifestyle publication, HTSI (How To Spend It), recently examined the evolution of facial rejuvenation in its Beauty Special, “The Seven Stages of a Facelift.” on The Autumn Beauty Special, 29 August 2026, p. 27.

The feature explores a range of approaches to facial aging, from non-surgical treatments and injectables to blepharoplasty, limited-incision lifts, SMAS facelift surgery and, ultimately, the DEEP PLANE FACELIFT.

In its section dedicated to deep plane facelift surgery, the Financial Times listed three surgeons:

  • Dr. Andrew Jacono — New York
  • Dr. Min-Hee Ryu — Seoul
  • Mr. Georgios Orfaniotis — London




Dr. Jacono is an internationally recognized New York facial plastic surgeon known for his work in facial rejuvenation and facelift surgery. Mr. Orfaniotis is a London-based facial plastic surgeon whose practice includes facial aesthetic surgery and facelift procedures.

For Dr. Ryu, the feature is particularly relevant to his longstanding academic and clinical focus on facial anatomy, retaining ligaments and anatomically based facelift surgery.

Dr. Ryu and Dr. Andrew Jacono: A Shared Academic Connection

Dr. Ryu’s appearance alongside Dr. Andrew Jacono in the Financial Times feature is particularly notable because the two surgeons have an earlier academic connection.

In 2019, Dr. Ryu and Dr. Jacono participated in the Mendelson Advanced Facial Anatomy Course (MAFAC) in Brisbane, Australia, an international program dedicated to advanced facial anatomy and surgical education.

Dr. Ryu has participated as MAFAC faculty since 2016, contributing to an international academic environment where surgeons study facial anatomy through anatomical dissection, surgical teaching and professional exchange.

Their shared participation in MAFAC provides important context for their later appearance together in the Financial Times feature and reflects Dr. Ryu’s longstanding involvement in the international academic community surrounding facial rejuvenation surgery.


What Is a DEEP PLANE FACELIFT?

Facial aging involves more than changes to the surface of the skin.

Over time, changes occur within the deeper soft tissues and supporting structures of the face, contributing to descent of the cheeks, jawline and neck.

In its explanation of the deep plane facelift, Financial Times HTSI describes an approach that involves releasing selected retaining ligaments and repositioning deeper facial tissues, including the SMAS.

The objective is not simply to tighten the skin, but to consider and reposition the deeper anatomical structures involved in facial aging.
