Philosophy
Specializing in cosmetic surgery, Dr. Adam N. Summers is a board-certified plastic surgeon who, in 1996, began developing a minimally invasive facelift technique to lift the brows, cheeks, jowls and upper neck without removing any skin. Now, as a clinical assistant professor of plastic surgery, he has performed the “SMART Facelift” on more than 1,000 patients. “Patients enjoy the natural-looking results obtained with this minimally invasive procedure,” says Dr. Summers, who refined the technique to achieve reliable results without requiring patients to be asleep for the procedure. As a perfectionist and artist, he continually refines and customizes the “One-Hour SMART Facelift.”

CAREER-DEFINING PROCEDURE

THE PROCEDURE I PERFORM MOST OFTEN
The SMART Facelift—I have achieved successful results in patients ranging from 30 to more than 70 years old. Our typical patient is around 50 years old, has reasonable skin tone and notices that their cheeks and jowls are beginning to sag
