Procedures by Decade
The cosmetic treatments individuals choose will vary greatly from decade to decade — with new changes requiring attention and old issues needing to be maintained.
The superficial muscular aponeurotic system (SMAS) is a layer of tissue that lies deep within the facial skin, where it helps to support the structure of the face. As we become older, the SMAS membrane weakens and loses its elasticity, which can result in sagging cheeks, exaggerated nasolabial folds, lax jowls, and a double chin. A SMAS facelift focuses on this membrane, correcting these problems by tightening the muscles and reducing fat and excess skin. This procedure is often combined with a neck lift.
