I was told an SMAS Facelift would not help folds running from the nose to mouth, is this true?

Why do most surgeons not perform a deep plane facelift for the fold running between nose to mouth. Would a Smas facelift give the same result as a Deep plane facelift? I know everyone has but mine are more since getting older.
