SMAS Facelift
The Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System (SMAS) technique, or SMAS facelift, is a traditional facelift that targets the lower two-thirds of the face. It addresses moderate to advanced signs of aging, particularly around the mid-face and neck.
During an SMAS facelift, the surgeon tightens and lifts the SMAS layer using sutures. This thin tissue layer comprises elastin fibers, collagen and fat cells, extending from the neck to the forehead. It provides important support for your skin. As you age, this layer starts losing its elasticity and strength, resulting in sagging skin and a loss of firmness.
By tightening and lifting the SMAS layer, surgeons can address sagging in the neck, jowls and cheeks, restoring a youthful contour. During the procedure, surgeons will also remove excess fat and trim away loose skin.
MACS Lift
The minimal access cranial suspension (MACS) lift is the most common type of mini facelift. This procedure rejuvenates the upper two-thirds of the face and is ideal for individuals with more elasticity in their skin who have some sagging concerns but a good skin tone. Deep Plane:
Which Facelift Is Right for You?
The ideal candidates for an SMAS facelift typically have skin that is somewhat elastic with noticeable sagging concerns. Usually, these candidates are men and women over the age of 50. Your general health should be good, and you should be a nonsmoker. This surgery can address several aspects of facial aging, and the results are long lasting.
If you want to address aging concerns in the upper two-thirds of your face, a mini facelift might be a better option. These minimally invasive procedures offer a faster recovery time than an SMAS facelift. However, unlike the SMAS facelift, the MACS lift does not address sagging skin in the neck or jowls. It is generally suitable for men and women in their 30s and 40s.
The best way to determine the right procedure for you is to schedule a consultation. With a thorough examination, they can help you choose the best option for your needs.
