SMAS facelift techniques

The SMAS is the layer of fibrous tissue and muscle under the facial fat, and nearly every facelift done by board-certified plastic surgeons tightens it. Surgeons fold it with stitches, remove a strip of it or lift it as a separate flap; reviews find high satisfaction with each method and none proven best.
