Where is a good place to get a facelift?
Why do you need a facelift at MAXi Clinic with the MAX Lift technique? Deep Plane & High SMAS MAX Lift is a unique technique of MAXi. It is a facelift to the SMAS muscle layer using a hybrid technique, removing the Deep Plane and suturing the High SMAS. Because each person’s face has different problems, the correction technique must be different. The result must be firm, youthful, and natural.
Let’s get to know the MAX Lift technique. M: Maximum This is the process of pulling and stitching the muscles and skin to make it tight and firm for a youthful and natural look. A: SMAS Approach In a facelift, the doctor will not just pull, cut and stitch, but the doctor will have to look at the structure of the face to see which parts need to be removed or preserved. The doctor will remove the muscles and stitch the SMAS layer to make it tight and firm, which best meets the needs in order to produce a youthful but still natural result. X: Exclusive Because each person’s face has a different structure and problems, the surgical procedure to correct the face will be different. Therefore, a surgical technique designed specifically for each person to suit the facial structure is also important.
What is a face lift?
A facelift is a surgical procedure that corrects facial sagging, which is caused by aging or deterioration of the skin and muscles. A facelift involves cutting away excess skin and tightening the muscles.
SMAS (Superficial Musculo-Aponeurotic System) is a tissue layer that plays an important role in maintaining facial firmness and structure. A facelift not only helps to make the face look younger but also helps to adjust the facial shape to look more balanced and natural.
Why choose a facelift using a technique that reaches SMAS?
The facelift technique that tightens to the SMAS layer is considered the most effective method because it can directly solve the problem of sagging skin, resulting in a more natural and longer-lasting result than a conventional facelift.
