Why SMAS Facelift?
At Elysian Plastic Surgery in Omaha, NE, the SMAS facelift represents a more advanced, highly effective technique for deep facial rejuvenationand, and offers longer-lasting results. SMAS stands for Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System—a layer of connective tissue and muscle beneath the skin that contributes significantly to facial structure and expression. By targeting this deeper anatomical layer, the SMAS facelift provides longer-lasting, more natural results than skin-only techniques.
This procedure is ideal for patients with moderate to advanced facial aging who are seeking to correct jowling, midface descent, deep facial folds, and neck laxity. Through carefully placed incisions around the ears (and sometimes under the chin), the SMAS layer is repositioned and lifted to restore youthful contours, while excess skin is removed and redraped without creating a tight or “overdone” appearance. This dual-layer approach addresses both surface and structural aging, enhancing durability and elegance of the outcome.
