As we age, our skin gradually loses elasticity, leading to sagging and the formation of wrinkles.

What’s Different About the Mini Facelift?

A facelift, also known as a rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that targets multiple areas of the face and neck. It involves making incisions along the hairline and behind the ears to access deeper layers of tissue. Through these incisions, excess skin is removed, underlying muscles are tightened, and the remaining skin is re-draped for a smoother, firmer, and more lifted appearance. 

The mini facelift, also referred to as a limited-incision facelift, is a less invasive alternative that focuses on specific areas of concern. This procedure typically targets the lower face, including the jawline and jowls. By using smaller incisions, usually confined to the front of the ear, a mini facelift can lift and tighten moderate facial sagging and smooth out mild to moderate wrinkles. What’s more, the procedure and recovery time are shorter. (1)

What is the SMAS?

The SMAS, or the Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System, is a crucial component in facelift surgery and other facial rejuvenation procedures. It is a layer of connective tissue that lies beneath the skin and covers the muscles of the face and neck. (2) The SMAS provides support and structure to the facial tissues.

As we age, the SMAS can become weakened and stretch, leading to sagging skin, jowls, and an overall loss of facial definition. This is why addressing the SMAS is essential in achieving optimal facial rejuvenation. By tightening and repositioning the SMAS during mini facelift surgery, a skilled plastic surgeon can restore a more youthful appearance to the face.
