What is the difference between deep-plane and SMAS lower facelifts?

Asked By:peakdog in Denver, Colorado

58 y/o female considering a lower facelift for jowls and neck skin laxity. I have questions about the difference between SMAS and Deep Plane, the time it takes, the healing and the longevity. Does one cause more nerve issues following surgery? Additionally, is it most beneficial under general anesthesia or can it be done under twilight? Can it be done in conjunction with a endoscopic brow lift? Pros and cons, please. Thank you.
