Season Five of Plastic Surgery Untold launches at Octane 2026 with an in depth conversation on where facial rejuvenation is headed next, featuring Dr. Daniel Gould, MD, PhD. As facelift surgery continues to evolve, this episode focuses on how modern techniques are moving beyond simple skin tightening and into precise, anatomy driven restoration designed to create natural, long lasting results.

In this episode, the conversation covers:

• How facelift surgery has shifted from tension based techniques to deep plane and preservation focused approaches

• The role of detailed anatomic mapping, including facial ligaments and internal support structures

• Why repositioning tissue to its natural location creates softer, more authentic outcomes

• How regenerative strategies and refined fat transfer are improving skin quality and longevity

The discussion also explores the bigger picture of patient care, including pre operative optimization, long term planning, and the growing role of technology. With insights into how AI and improved communication tools are shaping the future of plastic surgery, this episode sets the tone for what 2026 and beyond will look like in aesthetic medicine.

Season Five begins with a clear message: better anatomy, better planning, and better education lead to better results.
