I need a face lift . I read a bunch of stuff from the web. I read the best for me is high SMAS or vertical SMAS face lift because it does better work vertically to remove my deep folds and making my face more natural looking. Do i need a neck lift? too??
Answer: Vertical lift You certainly could benefit from a face and neck lift procedure. The two types of lifts you describe are technical and vary amongst surgeons. The SMAS layer must be addressed during all facelifts by lifting it and tightening it. The vector of pull is vertical in from of the ear and posterior/ superior behind the ear. This gives the most natural result and avoids an unnatural appearance. A deep Plan facelift is. one of the methods used to tighten the SMAS Layer. It involves lifting the SMAS with the overlying skin as a thick flap. Excellent results can be achieved with different methods as long as the deeper layers (SMAS) layer are repositioned. I tend to use a deep plane lift in any patient with heavier soft tissues. See a few surgeons and review your options. I hope this helps.

Answer: Facial Rejuvenation You would benefit tremendously from a face and neck lift. The major goals of most techniques are to restore cheek deflation and descent, improve the jowls, and refresh the neck. The various techniques accomplish these goals to various degrees, but the most important aspect in facial rejuvenation is the preoperative assessment of your unique facial aging as well as skill level of the surgeon.

Answer: Different type of facelifts There are several different types of facelift techniques that are currently performed by facelift surgeons. The most important factor is that the technique that is used by a facial surgeon will create a youthful, natural with long lasting result. Experience is the key in facial rejuvenation. Vectors of facial tightening vary from patient to patient. For a 45- 50-year-old patient, I would not apply the same vector and tension that I normally apply to a 70-year-old face. In addition, direction of vectors must be modified during secondary or tertiary facelift to avoid artificial look. I have performed well over 3000 facelifts and published a specific technique that describe the rotational angles and amount of tension that must be applied during SMAS plication to avoid over or under tightening. A well-performed neck lift during facial rejuvenation is the paramount in a youthful-appearing face. I apply gradual tension on my SMAS as follow: starting at temple area there is only 20-30% tension on muscle plication, once at the jawlines the muscle is tightened 100%. This prevent pulled looked at the corner of mouth. In neck area the muscle must be tighten with greater tension than 100%, depending on the neck laxity. Look at the doctor’s before and after pictures, a talented and experienced facelift surgeon will have a smooth and well-contoured neck that enhances the facelift results. There is no substitute in experience and artistic eyes.

Answer: High SMAS, Deep Plane face lifts and vertical face lifts are not the same lifts using different names You seem to be good candidate but a lot of patients are confused with all the different marketing names for various facelifts, some of which are the same but some of which are totally different. Additionally, different surgeons are trained in different fields, hospitals and tweak the procedures differently so there's a lot of confusion out there.

Answer: Face and neck lift, possible eyelid surgery, fat grafting You seem to be good candidate for face/neck lift and eyelid surgery. Very frequently these days, fat grafting and volume replacement is a part of facial rejuvenation done in the course of face lift. Once you select your surgeon let him decide which type of face/neck lift is most appropriate for you; they may be similar in the way we handle SMAS but individual needs of the patient will guide an experienced surgeon to make needed adaptations. Good luck.
