No two faces are the same, so no two face lifts should be the same. Each procedure should be carefully customized to individual facial features.
Face lifts have come a long way. In the beginning, doctors simply tightened the skin. In the 1970s, they discovered that lifting and repositioning the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue, called the SMAS, gave much better, longer-lasting results.
In the 1990s, Dr. Sam Hamra popularized an alternative approach called the deep plane face lift. This approach treats the skin and deeper layers together.
Find out which technique Dr. Bass prefers and why, the history of face lifts, and how to find the best facelift surgeon for you.
