Deep Plane SMAS Facelift
深层 SMAS 拉皮
—About this treatment
Deep plane facelift and neck lift surgery at our Sunnyvale clinic repositions the SMAS and platysma layers to reverse gravitational aging, restoring a youthful jawline and sculpted neck for Bay Area patients seeking true facial rejuvenation.
IndicationsWho it's for
- Deep plane facelift restores youthful jawline
- Neck lift sculpts defined cervicomental angle
- SMAS tissue repositioning, not just skin tightening
- Facial rejuvenation surgery with natural results
- Scars hidden within hairline and behind ears
- 10+ years of visible rejuvenation
Procedure
Following comprehensive facial analysis, your surgeon makes hidden incisions around the hairline and ears, lifts and repositions the deep SMAS and platysma layers, removes excess skin, and closes in meticulous layers for invisible scar healing.
Aftercare
Performed under general anesthesia or deep sedation over 3 to 5 hours. Incisions are hidden within the hairline and behind the ears. Major swelling and bruising resolve within 2 to 3 weeks; final refinement continues over several months as tissues settle.
FAQ
- How does it work?
- Modern deep-plane technique lifts the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) and platysma muscle together with the overlying skin as a single vascularized unit. Releasing the true aging retaining ligaments produces natural, long-lasting rejuvenation without the tight 'wind-tunnel' look of older facelifts.
