SMAS lifts reduce jowls
SMAS facelift, also known under the name SMAS-rhytidectomy or SMAS rhytidectomy (short for SMAS membrane augmentation), is a cosmetic procedure that tightens your skin and repositions your underlying muscles in order to reduce the sagging of lower two-thirds. The procedure also addresses the loss of cheek volume, which is caused by the SMAS membrane. The procedure can reduce the appearance of aging and remove jowls.

Mini facelifts target sagging skin
Although a full-facelift can improve your appearance by years, there are some patients who are not suitable. Mini facelifts are less invasive than full facelifts and address wrinkles and sagging skin on the lower half of the face. Mini facelifts are less invasive and require less recovery time. It is also usually cheaper than a standard facelift.
Facelift complications
Although some problems can occur with a facelift there are few that will be noticeable and will go away in a few months. Swelling and bruising are normal, but they are rare. You should rest for the first four to six days following surgery. Do not lift any heavy items, perform aerobic exercises, or engage in sex. For a few days, you may have to keep your head elevated during sleep. You will be prescribed pain medication to control any pain and swelling, and your face will most likely feel sore and bruised. If you need to conceal scarring, make sure you have enough makeup.
The out-of-pocket cost of a facelift
The cost of a facelift can be significant. You may be charged a fee by the surgeon or facility for the use of scalpels and other needles. Prescription medications and bandages may be required during recovery. You may also have to pay additional fees for anesthesia monitoring. There are many ways to cut these costs.
