SMAS Excision
(Deep Plane Facelift)
longer-lasting results
Softens deep folds & sagging
Ideal for significant facial ageing
The SMAS / Deep Plane Facelift is often considered the gold standard in facial rejuvenation. It goes beyond the surface to reposition deeper muscle layers, producing transformative yet natural-looking results. This advanced technique restores facial harmony—without sacrificing your unique character.
-
The SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) layer is lifted and repositioned deep beneath the skin, allowing for significant correction of sagging in the midface, jawline, and lower face.
-
Ideal for clients with pronounced facial ageing or those seeking a long-lasting solution.
-
Recovery typically lasts around two weeks. Bruising and swelling can persist for 2–3 weeks, gradually fading over time.
-
With the right hands, deep plane facelifts are highly effective and safe, delivering consistent and sophisticated results.

Add Morpheus8 or Fraxel post-surgery for improved skin tone and texture.
