SMAS Facelift Before & After Case 12194

This patient sought to improve the definition of her neck and jawline and to enhance the visibility of her upper eyelids. She expressed concerns about the lateral hooding of her brows and fullness beneath her chin, which affected her facial profile. After consultation, she decided on a combination of procedures: a minibrowlift, SMASectomy with plication facelift, and platysma muscle tightening.

The SMAS Facelift in Denver and Colorado Springs was planned to address the deeper structural changes associated with facial aging. The procedure targeted the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS), which helps support facial contours. Tightening the platysma muscle further enhanced the angle of her neck and helped define her jawline. The minibrowlift reduced lateral brow hooding, improving the openness of her upper eyelids.

Three months after surgery, postoperative photos demonstrate improved definition along the jawline and neck. The patient now has greater upper eyelid visibility and appears naturally refreshed. The recovery process was monitored closely, allowing for a safe and effective outcome.
