When having a Smas Facelift does every individual have different muscles lifted out of the 42/43 muscles in your face approx home many get lifted in a smas lift, how do you exercise these
Answer: What does SMAS stands for in #plasticsurgery and #facelift procedures? Thank you for your question.SMAS stands for: Superficial Musculo-Aponeurotic System. Another word for aponeurosis is fascia. Fascia is a thin yet strong layers covering all muscles, including the facial muscles. (analogy: it is the thick white shiny layers that one may see on meat cuts at the butcher, something that needs to be removed by the butcher, otherwise the meat has to be cooked for several hours... it is a strong layer hence important in a 2-layer facelift!In the face, all facial muscles are connected to each other by this fascia and the entire SMAS is a one unit. Pulling on it and in different directions (vectors) will address several areas of the face that are aging and everything will move en bloc, i.e. as one single unit.Hope this clarifies!Best regards.

Answer: #SMASdefined SMAS is an abbreviation for a tissue layer called the Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System. As this is a mouthful, most patients and surgeons use the acronym SMAS. The SMAS is a relatively thin layer of strong fascial supporting tissue that covers and surrounds the deeper tissues and structures of the face and neck, including fat pads and muscles, and the entire cheek area. It also attaches to the superficial muscle covering the lower face near the jaw line and neck called the platysma. As the SMAS attaches to all of these areas of the face, a SMAS lift surgically elevates this layer which in turn elevates the soft tissues and structures of the face. To do this, the SMAS layer can be folded superiorly and attached to itself, called SMAS plication, or it can be tightened and lifted by removing a redundant portion and then reattaching itself in the uplifted position (SMAS resection, or “SMASectomy”)..

Answer: What is the SMAS? Thanks for the question and a complicated one. The short answer to your question is, no. We do not individual lift each muscle. Think of the smas as a quilt. It is a bunch of connected muscles. All these muscles have different actions but they are connected by tissue. If we were to dissect all the muscles, a facelift would take 20 hours or more! What we do know, is if we pull, move and re-position the Smas as a whole, we can alter the face in predictable ways. This is the key to a good facelift. In fact, understanding this resulted in a major shift in facelift techniques.So, there is no way to answer how many, which ones as it does not really work this way. Dr James P.

Answer: SMAS Facelift A SMAS facelift lasts longer then a skin or periosteal facelift. The SMAS layer is a layer of muscle of the face, predominately addressed by lifting the platysmal muscle, the orbicular is otis muscles and the orbicular is oculi muscles. They are lifted by imbrication sutures to elevate them, reposition them and reposition some of the subcutaneous facial adipose (fat) tissue. Good luck with your selection of a board certified ASAPS plastic surgeon.
