Discover Ageless Beauty: Facelift and Neck Lift Unveiled
A facelift addresses sagging facial skin, jowls, and deep wrinkles to restore the youthful appearance of your face.
- SMAS Layer: The SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) layer contains the muscles of facial expression and must be tightened. Some surgeons only tighten the skin, resulting in an unnatural and temporary result. Dr. Prucz always tightens the SMAS and separates it from the skin, ensuring a long-lasting outcome without a swept-back look.
- SMAS Plication vs SMASectomy: The SMAS can be tightened with a plication, where the SMAS is over sewn and tightened. Dr. Prucz performs this procedure but prefers a SMASectomy, which involves removing a section of the SMAS layer and then repairing it. Though more technically challenging, a SMASectomy typically produces the best results for most people.
- Deep Plane Facelift: This technique elevates the SMAS and skin layers together. The main drawback is that the skin and the SMAS cannot be pulled in different directions, which is sometimes necessary.
- Neck Lift:ย A neck lift complements a facelift by addressing sagging skin and excess fat in the neck area, restoring a youthful and defined neck contour. Dr. Prucz often uses liposuction and skin tightening for further refinement.
