(superficial musculoaponeurotic system) face lift is a plastic surgical procedure that aims to rejuvenate the face by tightening and repositioning the SMAS, a layer of tissue in the face that sits beneath the skin.
This procedure can be done to improve the appearance of the mid-face, jawline, and neck.
While a SMAS facelift is a complex procedure, it results in a natural-looking rejuvenation of the face. This is because the operation focuses on tightening and repositioning the deeper layers of the face, rather than just removing excess skin or adding fillers to the surface of the skin.
There are several techniques that can be used to perform a SMAS facelift, and the specific technique used will depend on the individual's unique needs and desired outcomes. Some techniques involve making small incisions around the ear and elevating the SMAS layer to reposition it, while others involve making incisions in the hairline or under the chin.
If you are considering a Facelift, or neck-lift, it's recommended to schedule a consultation with our plastic surgeon Dr.Chris Reuter or with our plastic surgeonDr.Timm Wolter who can provide you with personalized advice based on your individual needs and circumstances.
