Understanding Aging
There are two essential components that contribute to facial aging: changes on the skin’s surface and deeper changes in the soft tissues of the face and underlying musculature. Both factors need to be addressed to maintain your youthful look for longer. Surface changes like fine lines and wrinkles, age spots, and changes in skin texture can often be addressed with minimally invasive surface procedures like chemical peels, dermal fillers, or BOTOX® injections and a committed, proactive skin care routine. Yet, while many of our Detroit area patients can minimize their surface aging for quite a while, age and gravity continue to affect the deeper layers of the facial structure.
The SMAS layer, or the deep tissues and muscles that lie far below the skin’s surface, also changes over time. Gravity continues pulling downward, while facial fat thins as part of the aging process. This combination leads to a hollow look and skin laxity that surface treatments can’t resolve on their own.
A traditional surgical facelift tightens the SMAS layer to provide a firmer structure over which the skin is redraped, and any excess is removed. Although the results are permanent, the surgery is complex and requires a significant recovery commitment.
