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.

Breast “lifts” are a misnomer. The breasts are actually pushed up from the bottom instead, thereby concealing the scars. The technique involves removing skin from within the design triangle shown to achieve the “lift”. Here are key truths about procedure limitations:
1. The breasts will never go as high as desired despite a maximum effort.
2. There will always be a small amount of residual overhang at the bottom, I.e. failing the “ pencil test”.
3. Breasts that are positioned low on the chest but do not droop are not suitable for breast lift procedures.
4. Eventually the skin will stretch again and the condition may recur to some degree. The good news here is that the procedure could be repeated without adding new scars.
Despite all of this major transformations are possible!

Male facelifts are challenging because men’s heads are bigger and the blood supply much more vigorous compared to women. Although the surgical concepts and anatomy are the same, it just takes longer to do. The good news is that life changing transformations can be achieved!
