Both the deep plane facelift (the procedure this patient underwent) and SMAS facelift focus on the SMAS layer of facial muscles and connective tissues. However, their methodologies differ.
The SMAS facelift involves cutting and suturing the underlying muscles to make the necessary adjustments and tighten skin, which leads to extended downtime.
Meanwhile, the deep plane facelift lifts and repositions the tissues as a flap, which may involve less downtime.
Dr. Mehta offers both methods, tailoring the technique to your unique anatomy and goals for optimal outcomes.
