And is it ok to have surgery like this if you have Hashimoto's?
Answer: SMAS Facelift and the Midface As long as your Hashimoto's is under control and you are seeing an Endocrinologist, there should be no concerns about the safety of a facelift. Regarding the midface, the answer is how the SMAS is manipulated. A properly performed "high SMAS" lift as described will be successful in lifting the cheek area. Release of the zygomatico-cutaneous ligaments allows for cheek mobility and elevation. Frequently, patients who are candidates are also candidates addition of volume to the cheek. This can be reliably performed with Voluma or Sculptra at the same time as your facelift or at a later date.

Answer: SMAS facelift can improve the cheek but is more effective on the lower face and neck The SMAS facelift is a very effective facelift technique. It certainly can lift and restore the malar fat pad which will improve the cheek and can have excellent results on the lower face and neck.However today most facelift patients eventually require some volume replacement at least with dermal fillers.

Answer: SMAS facelift and thyroiditis First it's important to make sure your thyroiditis is under control by your endocrinologist prior to undergoing elective cosmetic surgery. In our practice, a comprehensive face/neck lift does not technically tighten the mid face. The jowls are tightened, excess face and neck skin is tightened, the neck muscles are tightened and fatty deposits are removed above and below the platysma muscle in the neck. To augment the mid face area, we perform cheek implants where there has been a loss of volume that occurs with the aging process. For many examples, please see the link below to our facelift photo gallery
