Deep Plane & SMAS: The Facelift Gets a Facelift

Facelift

What images come to mind when someone mentions the word facelift? Windswept faces? Tight skin? An unnatural look? In fact, those images represent obsolete surgical procedures that have been replaced by advanced techniques like the SMAS facelift and the deep plane facelift that produce natural-looking rejuvenation.

In this post, we’ll look at how these advances in facelift surgery help you look like a younger, more vibrant version of yourself and whether you can get the same benefit with nonsurgical options.

Improved Facelift Techniques

Today’s facelift techniques can achieve far more natural-looking results with minimal scarring and downtime. Rather than simply pulling back and cutting away lax skin, we now lift and reposition the underlying muscles. With this technique, we can better replicate facial anatomy, providing more natural and subtle results.

We have also incorporated new techniques that offer more discreet scars, so you don’t have to worry about a scar revealing that you had plastic surgery. You can learn more about the SMAS facelift technique and get answers to other common facelift questions in our related blog post.

Can I Get the Same Results With Nonsurgical Treatments?

Dermal fillers, BOTOX® Cosmetic, and other injectables have dramatically changed the aesthetic field in recent years. But even as nonsurgical facial rejuvenation options continue to multiply, facelift surgery remains the best option for women and men who want long-lasting, transformative results.

There’s no doubt that nonsurgical treatments offer patients an effective alternative to more invasive procedures, smoothing wrinkles and restoring lost volume, but they’re temporary and require follow-up treatments to maintain the results.

The bottom line is that only a facelift can correct moderate to severe sagging in the lower portion of the face. Injectables, however, helped change cultural perceptions about cosmetic enhancements, making them more commonplace. Hollywood celebrities, soccer moms, and men on their lunchbreaks are opting for cosmetic treatments without worrying that they’ll look like they’ve had “work done.”
