The SMAS Lift describes a special procedure to tighten the facial skin. The abbreviation SMAS stands for Superficial Musculo-Aponeurotic System meaning the layer of muscle-connective tissue under the skin of the face and neck. This is exactly where the SMAS facelift comes in, which is also called double layer lifting. The advantage of this form of facelift is that in addition to the sagging facial skin, the mimic musculature is also corrected. As a result, even deeper wrinkles can be successfully smoothed out. During the natural aging process, not only the skin loses elasticity, but the connective and supporting tissue of the mimic muscles also loses tension.
Continue readingThe SMAS is the right solution for patients with advanced signs of aging in particular. This is because this method takes into account the anatomical structure of the face and the physiological processes of aging and uses them for lifting. Thereforre, SMAS lifting produces a much more natural result that lasts longer than a simple skin tightening. It is also safer with regard to possible complications such as wound healing disorders and unpleasant scarring. For younger skin we recommend the Mini facelift or the thread technique, which does not require any cuts.
