Facelift and neck lift work
- Deep plane facelift: works beneath the SMAS and repositions deeper facial tissues as a unit (deep plane). Incisions near the creases in front of and behind the ear, plus a small incision under the chin (SMMS page).
- SMMS: through a crease below the chin, fat is removed from the neck, including from beneath the platysma; the platysma is then attached to the digastric and mylohyoid muscles with a special suture technique to define the chin-neck angle. The bio says he published the technique in 2012, 2013 and 2018 (SMMS; bio).
