There are many types of facelifts. The wide variety of surgical techniques used during a facelift offer results that range from subtle to dramatic. In order to help you make the best decision, we want to make sure that you understand what types of facelifts are available. In this article we will briefly outline the most common types of facelifts our Bucks County plastic surgeon performs.
Types of Facelifts
Some of the more common types of facelifts include:
- SMAS – The superficial musculoaponeurotic system lift tightens the top layers of the skin and tissues deeper in the face and neck.
- Deep Plane Lift – This is similar to the SMAS lift but it goes deeper, higher, and does more lifting. It’s best suited for older patients.
- Short Scar Face Lift – This surgery allows the surgeon to tighten the tissue that causes smile lines, jowls, and loose skin. It is also referred to as a mini-facelift or S lift.
- Mid-Facelift – Here, nose to mouth lines, lower eyelids, and sagging cheeks are improved. The results are subtle and scars minimal.
- Thread Lift – Other names for this lift include the feather or Aptos lift. This surgery is for younger patients, usually while waiting for the appropriate time for a deep plane lift.
