An SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) facelift is a surgical procedure aimed at addressing signs of aging in the face and neck. Unlike traditional facelifts that primarily focus on skin tightening, the SMAS facelift targets the underlying muscular layer of the face, providing more comprehensive and longer-lasting results. By repositioning and tightening the SMAS layer, excess skin is removed, deep wrinkles are smoothed, and facial contours are restored, resulting in a refreshed and youthful appearance.
