Rhytidectomy, also known as Facelift Miami, is one of the most popular facial cosmetic procedures that help fight the signs of aging and return their youthful and fresh appearance. The procedure can help turn back the clock and make one look radiant and younger. Many different techniques are used in this procedure. Aging impacts everyone differently. The procedure is tailored to each person’s needs and anatomy. Sometimes even having a great skincare regime can’t help fight the signs of aging successfully, so if you want to look younger for longer, you should consider undergoing the facelift procedure. Following are some of the popular facelift techniques
The Deep Plane Lift
The deep plane lift, also known as the SMAS lift, is a technique during which the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS), is lifted and repositioned. This layer is situated beneath the skin and surrounds the muscles responsible for various facial expressions like smiling and frowning. Incisions that aren’t readily visible to the naked eye are made along the hairline, enabling the facial muscles and upper layers of the fatty tissues to be lifted. This lift, in turn, restores the youthfulness of the face. This incision is then extended downward along the natural crease of the face. It extends to inside the ear, along the ear lobe. The incision ends behind the ear, where it is hidden out of plain sight.
In this technique, the surgeon separates the skin from the SMAS layer. The surgeon goes beneath this layer and releases the attachment from the skin, which in turn effectively separates them and allows the repositioning of the SMAS layer and the skin into a desirable position giving one a more natural and youthful appearance. After the SMAS layer has been repositioned, all the excess or the loose skin is removed, and the edges are sutured close. This technique gives dramatic and long-lasting results and is preferable for those who have considerable skin laxity.
Skin Only Facelift
This kind of facelift is relatively simple and best for those in the early stages of aging and have only light facial laxity. The volume and shape of the face are still aesthetically pleasing. An additional incision could be made under the chin to address the sagging bands that develop with age in the procedure. If you wish to target other signs of aging, you can add additional procedures to your facelift. Each facelift procedure is unique to the patient. The plan is tailored to make sure that you get the best results possible. You can combine your facelift with a brow lift or even a blepharoplasty to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
Consult your surgeon
When you are considering a facelift procedure, you should book an appointment with an experienced plastic surgeon. They would determine which technique would be the best for you and which other procedures you could add to the facelift to make you look more youthful and fresh.
