All patients have a "lollipop" scar pattern lift, except where noted.

If you went to the best training program that had the biggest stars in every area back in the day (NYU), you learned how to be good at everything. Super sub-specializing constricts the overall development of your aesthetic sense. Also, like cross-training, using different “muscles”enhances your overall performance. Finally, one only has to look at Michelangelo, the best painter and sculptor ever, to be convinced it’s not only possible to be good at more than one thing but to be able to excel in multiple areas.

There are many variables in breast augmentation: implant volume, shape, manufacturer, and filler substance; incision location; over or under the muscle; patient specific anatomy; and both the surgeon’s and patient’s aesthetic sense. Achieving the best result takes all of these factors into account and, as shown here, there is often more than one way to do it. Remember, it’s not one and done. Implants require periodic replacement life long. Fat grafts, as an alternative, do not work.

Patient’s often ask, which method is better, SMAS or deep plane? If there was a clear superiority, all surgeons would be using the same technique. Put another way, as our nurse Meghan says, “it’s not the racquet, it’s the player”. True here too.
SMAS is an acronym for a medical term: Superficial MusculoAponeurotic System. Structurally it is a sheet of fibrous and fatty tissue that can be tightened to recreate a more youthful facial shape.
