Discovering an Advanced Approach to Facelift Surgery

Facial rejuvenation techniques are constantly evolving, and among the pioneers of these advancements is Dr. Benjamin Stong, a prominent facial plastic surgeon based in Atlanta. Dr. Stong recently unveiled his advanced deep plane facelift technique, which focuses on long-lasting results by enhancing structural support.

Dr. Stong is the founder of Kalos Facial Plastic Surgery and the director at the Advanced Deep Plane Facelift Center of Excellence in Buckhead, Atlanta. His innovative method employs the concept of securing the SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) to the periosteum, the dense connective tissue covering the bones of the face. This shift promises a more stable and enduring outcome than traditional methods that only tighten skin.

Understanding the SMAS's Role in Aging

The SMAS layer operates as a crucial structural framework in maintaining the natural contours of the face. However, as time progresses, gravity and decreased tissue elasticity can result in the downward descent of the SMAS. This leads to common signs of aging including jowling and loss of midface volume.

While traditional facelift techniques often involve repositioning the SMAS layer using sutures, Dr. Stong's advanced approach elevates this layer and anchors it to the periosteum of key skeletal points. Notably, these points include:

• - The zygomatic bone, or cheekbone
• - The mastoid bone located behind the ear

By utilizing periosteal fixation, this method leverages a support structure that withstands the test of time as opposed to relying on the softer tissues that inevitably sag with age.

Elevating Both Aesthetics and Longevity

Dr. Stong’s technique is centered around the philosophy of restoring youthful facial contours through deeper structural repositioning rather than simply tightening the skin surface. This results not only in a more aesthetically pleasing outcome but also extends the longevity of the facelift results.

This advanced deep plane facelift is particularly significant as it addresses the anatomical factors of facial aging directly. By unifying the repositioning of the SMAS, facial ligaments are released, allowing for a more significant restoration of youthful contours—enhancing the appearance of the cheeks, jawline, and neck while keeping facial expressions intact.

At Kalos Facial Plastic Surgery, each facelift procedure is tailored to the patient’s specific anatomy and aesthetic goals. The advanced deep plane facelift can be complemented with other surgical options to achieve a truly holistic rejuvenation experience, including:

• - Neck lift surgery to refine jawline definition
• - Eyelid surgery for a youthful appearance around the eyes
• - Lip lifts for a fuller lip area
• - Brow lifts to enhance brow arch
• - Laser resurfacing for improved skin texture

This comprehensive approach ensures that all aspects of the face are harmoniously balanced, achieving natural-looking yet impactful results.
