Facelift and neck lift work

• SMAS facelift. The page states he performs a SMAS-based facelift and not a deep plane facelift; typically 4 to 5 hours under general anesthesia; incisions around the ears and, if needed, under the chin (facelift).
• Facelift revision. For patients with a prior facelift that has aged or was under- or over-corrected (facelift-revision).
• Neck lift. Addresses platysma separation, skin laxity and fat; often a short incision beneath the chin, with incisions around the ears for more correction; deeper fat layers removed while superficial fat is preserved; general anesthesia (neck-lift).
• Short scar neck lift and facial fat transfer have their own gallery categories (gallery).
