DR JSK : Video Q&A – SMAS Face Lift

Hi there it’s Dr JSK here. Going to talk to you this afternoon about SMAS facelifts. Now the SMAS is the most common type of facelift. The SMAS is a layer in the face. Our bodies are organised in layers and one of these layers is the SMAS. Now that is S-M-A-S that stands for Superficial Musculo Aponeurotic System, it’s a complicated medical term but really what it means it’s a tough fibrous layer that when elevated gives the patient excellent longevity for their facelift and a nice natural result without unnatural tightness on the skin surface. It can be done in various different ways it can be tightened by itself, a small sliver can be removed and closed back up or it can elevated, redraped and secured to itself again. There are some of the finer points of SMAS facelift surgery. I hope to see you soon.
