Facial Contours That Collapse With Age: Is Lifting Enough? Samsao SMAS Volume Lift

Hello, this is Samsao Plastic Surgery.

As we age, our faces change in more ways than just skin sagging. Firm cheek tissue that once looked full gradually descends, blurring the jawline. At the same time, the cheeks and temples can lose volume, making the face look hollow.

Because of these changes, many people consider lifting. However, pulling up the skin alone may not be enough to improve sagging and volume loss at the same time.

In particular, if facial volume is insufficient and only the sagging tissue is lifted, the result may not match your expectations.

Today, we'll take a closer look at the SMAS volume lift at Samsao Plastic Surgery, which considers both facial sagging and volume.

Facial aging is caused by a combination of factors, including not only reduced skin elasticity but also changes in fat and soft tissue.

As we age, the volume of facial fat and soft tissue decreases, causing the cheeks and temples to look hollow. As skin elasticity declines, cheek tissue can droop and nasolabial folds can become deeper.

Therefore, it's important to consider not only how to lift sagging skin, but also how volume changes in different areas of the face.

Samsao Plastic Surgery's SMAS volume lift is a lifting procedure that considers facial sagging, fat distribution, and volume loss together.

Fat grafting restores volume in hollowed areas, custom lifting pulls up sagging tissue, and facial liposuction is performed as needed to remove excess fat.

Rather than simply pulling the skin, the procedure focuses on improving sagging and volume together, tailored to your facial condition.

Samsao Plastic Surgery takes a customized approach based on three key elements, taking into account changes in facial sagging and volume.

POINT 01. Minimal-Incision Lifting

Incisions are made only as far as necessary to minimize tissue damage while improving sagging areas.

POINT 02. Facial Liposuction

Excess fat is selectively removed to sharpen blurred facial contours.

POINT 03. Autologous Fat Grafting

Your own fat is grafted into areas lacking volume to restore a natural, three-dimensional look.

The SMAS layer, which is important in facelift surgery, lies beneath the skin and supports the soft tissues of the face.

As we age, changes occur not only in the skin but also in deeper tissues, so skin-only approaches may not be enough to achieve meaningful improvement.

Samsao Plastic Surgery dissects the SMAS layer, pulls it taut, and secures it in place to improve sagging cheeks and a blurred jawline, while also addressing facial fat distribution and volume loss.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the facial contour collapse with age?

Facial aging results from a combination of factors, including loss of skin elasticity and reduced volume in fat and soft tissue. The cheeks and temples may look hollow, cheek tissue may droop, and nasolabial folds may deepen.

Can lifting alone fail to improve the face?

Yes. Pulling the skin alone may not be enough to address sagging and volume loss at the same time. If only sagging tissue is lifted while volume is lacking, the facial contour may look different from what you expected.

What is an SMAS volume lift?

It is a lifting procedure that considers facial sagging, fat distribution, and volume loss together. According to the clinic, the SMAS layer is dissected, pulled, and secured to improve sagging cheeks and a blurred jawline.

What other procedures are performed alongside an SMAS volume lift?

The procedure combines facial fat grafting, custom lifting, and facial liposuction as needed. Hollowed areas are restored with fat grafting, sagging tissue is lifted, and excess fat is selectively removed.

When is it a good idea to schedule a consultation?

A consultation is worth considering if you are concerned about sagging cheeks, a blurred jawline, and loss of facial volume at the same time. The clinic recommends a consultation and detailed evaluation to determine the lifting method best suited to you.
