The Modern Facelift: How Deep Plane and SMAS Techniques Prevent the 'Windblown' Look
October 10, 2025•5 min read•Authored by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Muhammad Sheraz Raza

The days of tight, unnatural facelifts are long gone. Today's premier facial aesthetic surgery focuses on structural repositioning.
By lifting the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) vertically against gravity, cheek fullness is restored and jowls are erased without any tension placed on the outer skin. Incisions heal virtually undetected in the natural hairline and tragal ear folds.
