Six months after a face lift and neck lift using the SMAS technique, you're looking at the after photo of a 72-year-old woman. The SMAS approach works at the level of the musculoaponeurotic system, the layer of muscle and connective tissue beneath the skin, rather than relying on skin tension alone. That deeper repositioning is what distinguishes it from a skin-only lift. In the after photo, the jawline and neck show noticeably reduced skin laxity, and the neck contour is visibly cleaner compared to the before image. The overall result reads as settled and well-healed at the six-month mark. Individual results vary. Call (502) 589-5544 if you'd like to talk it through.
