Which one is safer? Has longer lasting results? Best for me? Sorry, my photos were upright when I uploaded them, don't know why they're rotated. I'm also looking for a reasonably priced surgeon in Canada, the US or Mexico. Unfortunately, haven't been able to find someone who meets all of my criteria . .

Answer: Difference between an SMAS facelift and a deep plane facelift? Hi, I have performed facelifts for over 30 years and have performed many minimally, invasive SMAS facelifts on women in their late twenties and early thirties. From the photos your cheeks are flat in the front (more so on the left than the right and jowls are present. These factors combine to create an elongated, rectangular shaped face. Following my facial beauty principles, women look the most feminine, youthful and attractive with heart shaped faces. Heart shaped faces have cheeks that are full and round in the front. Cheek augmentation with a dermal filler or using cheek implants for a permanent enhancement will create full, round cheeks that will feminize the entire face. "Jowls” are sagging facial tissues and the main indication for some form of a SMAS facelift. The underlying SMAS layer, of the face, must be dissected, lifted, trimmed and re-sutured (not merely folded or suspended with threads or sutures that will not last). The excess skin is then removed and the facelift incisions closed. My most popular facelift is the minimally invasive, short incision facelift that has all the benefits of more invasive facelifts (traditional, mid-face, deep plane, cheek lift and subperiosteal facelifts) but with these added benefits: very small incisions and no incisions extend or are placed within the hair.minimal tissue dissection = less bruising and swelling = rapid recovery ( several days instead of weeks or months with the more invasive type facelifts mentioned)can be performed in 90 minutes or less, with or without general anesthesiano incisions within the hair = no hair lossexcess fat can be removedexcess skin removedcheeks, chin and jaw line can be augmented with dermal fillers (I prefer Restylane Lyft) or facial implantsmost patients fly back home to parts all over the world in as little as 3 days post-opI combine facial shaping with every facelift procedure. When jowls are present, these should be done in concert and not alone or separately in order to create a naturally, more attractive face. The deep plane facelift is a more aggressive version of the SMAS facelift with longer surgery time (4 - 6 hours), general anesthetic, longer incisions including into the front and back hair, significantly longer recoibery time(months) and like "all" facelifts the "key" aesthetic facial features must still be shaped separately or in addition to this invasive type facelift. Hope this helps.
