Lateral SMASectomy - 09/09/19
, Steven Levine, MD b Résumé |
The lateral superficial musculoaponeurotic system–ectomy (SMASectomy) is a safe, versatile, and easily reproducible technique in facelift surgery. The ability to resect a portion of the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) over the junction of the mobile and fixed SMAS produces a powerful lift with similar aesthetic results to a traditional SMAS flap, but without the additional risks of nerve injury. The ability to alter the vector of motion of the underlying SMAS makes the technique adaptable to a variety of facial characteristics. The lateral SMASectomy is a viable and powerful method that has stood the test of time.
