Coming Of Age With Facelift Surgery With SMAS and Platysmaplasty

LONDON - Dec. 29, 2015 - PRLog -- Facelift with the SMAS process and Platysmaplasty (Necklift) are among the major surgeries which can effectively bring a distinct difference to your existing face and can assure you an overwhelming outcome with a youthful appearance. Though a result which not everybody is willing to risk for, cosmetic surgery has done many things to raise the awareness of its conservative approach.
There are varied types of face-lift surgery and the procedures differ with the difference of the incision type used, or the target area of the face and the extent of the invasiveness. These decisions are not at all easy for the candidate as it is important to know how long you would take to improve and what the realistic expectations are like, or which area to choose at the first place. Once the decision is made it, you can go to the suited form of procedures to enhance your facial structures.
Face being the focal point of a person’s appearance, it is really important to look your best naturally or at least seem to be natural (even though it happened by going under the knife).
•    Face Lift (https://www.harleybodyclinic.co.uk/surgical/facelift.html)- SMAS(Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System)
Targeting mainly to relax the skin and remove the excess skin, which has lost its elasticity and ends up forming double chin, sagging neck bands and neck wattles. The main area where this surgical procedure helps is the mid-face muscles. This all-inclusive facial recontouring is conducted in three major surgical plans, which are as follows:
•    SMA Sectomy/SMAS Imbrication ( as short scar or mini facelift )
Involves removing sections of the superficial fascia and tightening the existing muscles to lift it to a better position for contoured appearance. The SMAS flap is pulled upwards to the side of the head and secured with suspension dissolvable sutures. However, the actual direction of the SMAS flap pulled depends on the patient’s sagginess and muscular features.
•    Platisma- SMAS Plication facelift
In this surgery, the remodeling of SMAS flap is done instead of excising it. This is achieved with the help of a neck lift along with full face lift. This is different from the SMAS Facelift in a way that it cannot overcome a drooping neck area and double chin.
Plastima bands are used to repair the double chin from the neck area with the help of anterior platysmaplasty. Divided into three layer unit of the neck and face, the SMAS Platysma is dissected and pulled in suspension until the suitable position is reached and knotted.
•    Neck Lift (Plastysmaplasty)
A powerful procedure to significantly reduce your signs of aging and achieve a youthful and rejuvenated appearance. Finding a potential solution to turkey neck and jowling, plastymaplasty takes just about 2 hours to complete.
