Facelift Mexico

A face lift is typically thought of as a procedure for women. However, male face lift surgery is fairly common, with men making up about 20 percent of face lift patients. While some men may fear that a face lift will make them appear more feminine, this is not the case. A skilled plastic surgeon can enhance rather than minimize the masculine features of a man’s face.

SMAS Face Lift differs from the traditional face lift in that it lifts the deeper layer of the face. SMAS – or superficial musculo-aponeurotic system – is composed of multiple fibrous extensions that attach through the subcutaneous fat to the superficial epidermal-dermal layer of the skin, and these connections cause the three layers of the facial skin to “move together” as a unit. The SMAS attachment is particularly noticeable at the nasolabial folds. The SMAS membrane continues as a layer of smooth fibrous tissue that reaches to the cheekbone below the eye and attaches to the bone as it extends in front of the ear area. A gliding plane, between the SMAS and the underlying structures of the face, allows free movement of the skin unit to create facial expressions. These movements are produced by the superficial muscles of expression. As facial skin ages, there is gradual loss of elasticity in the epidermal layer of the skin as well as in the SMAS membrane.

Is a cosmetic surgery procedure designed to help men and women achieve a more youthful facial appearance. As we age, our skin loses its elasticity and begins to sag. This process can leave your face looking tired and worn, with deep wrinkles, hollow cheeks, jowls and loose skin in the lower face and neck. Facelift can address all of these issues and help you look possibly many years younger.
