Dr. Geldner's Case Notes:
SMAS Facelift with Platysmaplasty

"This patient wanted to improve her appearance. She showed descent of her midface and jowling. We addressed her needs with a SMAS facelift with an open necklift. She is pleased with her outcome."

Dr. Geldner is a leading Chicago plastic surgeon. See more of his before and after facelift photos in his before and after plastic surgery gallery.

What is a SMAS Facelift?

Combining a facelift and neck lift allows for a comprehensive rejuvenation of the lower face and neck areas. This can result in a more harmonious and balanced appearance, addressing signs of aging in both regions simultaneously. It can also help avoid the appearance of a mismatch between the rejuvenated face and neck, which might occur if the procedures were done separately.

It's important to note that combining a facelift and neck lift may not be suitable for everyone. The decision should be made in consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon who can assess your individual needs, goals, and medical history. Additionally, the surgeon will determine whether your skin and tissues are appropriate for both procedures to be performed in a single surgery.
