Facelift anatomy

The face is built in layers: skin, fat, a layer of fibrous tissue and flat facial muscles that surgeons call the SMAS, a deep fascia, and the facial nerve branches beneath it. Facelift techniques differ in which layer the surgeon lifts, which ligaments are released and how close the work runs to the nerve.
