SMAS Facelift Before & After Case 12210

This patient opted for a SMAS facelift to address concerns about sagging along the jawline and a lack of neck definition. She sought improvement in areas where skin laxity and muscle changes had affected her facial contour over time. The goal was to create a more refined jawline and a deeper, more defined neck profile while preserving a natural appearance.

During her procedure, a SMASectomy with plication technique was used. By targeting both the deeper SMAS layer in the face and the platysma muscle in the neck, the approach aimed to lift and support the overlying tissues of her lower face and neck. Her recovery progressed on schedule, and post-operative care focused on optimizing healing and minimizing downtime.

Her results show a notable enhancement in the jaw and neck region. The treatment achieved a sharper, more defined jawline and deeper neck contour. The changes were tailored to her unique facial structure, reflecting her goals and priorities.
