Facelift techniques have evolved significantly, offering more natural and longer-lasting results. Two of the most advanced methods are the SMAS facelift and the deep plane facelift. While both address facial aging effectively, they differ in technique and outcome. Female board certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Monica Wentworth provides facelift to patients in Webster, TX and surrounding areas.
What Is a SMAS Facelift
A SMAS facelift lifts and tightens the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, which supports the face. By repositioning this layer, surgeons achieve improved jawline definition, reduced jowls, and smoother neck contours.
SMAS facelifts provide reliable, natural-looking results with less tension on the skin.
What Is a Deep Plane Facelift
A deep plane facelift works beneath the SMAS layer to release and reposition deeper facial tissues as a single unit. This allows for more dramatic lifting of the cheeks and midface while softening nasolabial folds and improving jowls.
This technique is often used for patients with more advanced facial aging.
Differences in Results
SMAS facelifts deliver excellent lower-face rejuvenation and are ideal for moderate aging. Deep plane facelifts offer more powerful midface lifting and longer-lasting results in patients with significant sagging.
The deep plane approach often produces a softer, more natural transition between facial regions.
Which Technique Is Right for You
The best facelift technique depends on facial anatomy, aging patterns, and desired outcome. Both approaches can produce beautiful, natural results when performed by an experienced surgeon.
A personalized consultation ensures the technique chosen aligns with your goals and delivers balanced, refreshed facial rejuvenation.
