Face Lift New Jersey

When one thinks of getting a procedure to lift face, plastic surgery immediately comes into mind. But if you think the only option there is a simple face lift, you are wrong. There are actually several variations to it as well as the other methods that can be done. The types of face lifts are:

SMAS Lift
This is a procedure wherein the external skin top layers are being lifted. In addition, the deeper tissues within the neck and face are also being lifted in the process. These are the tissues which have a tendency to become loose and sag with age.

The process for a SMAS lift requires making an incision at the temple just above the hairline. This then is continued downward. The cut for the lift is being made along the skin creases, front or edge of the ear, underneath or even behind the ear lobe. After the cut, the surgeon will elevate the SMAS (tissues of the neck and face), tighten them and remove the extra tissue. Lastly, he will stitch them back together on a higher and new position.

Endoscopic Facelift
This is a high tech facelift procedure since it makes use of an endoscope which is a pencil-shaped probe attached with a tiny camera at the tip. The camera allows the surgeon to see what is underneath the skin by transmitting visual images onto a TV screen.

The other options you have if you want to get a lift face procedure include facial implants, thread lifts, Thermage, and a lot more. The best way to know about these procedures is to ask your surgeon.
