SMAS lifts reduce jowls

The procedure also addresses the loss of cheek volume, which is caused by the SMAS membrane. This procedure can reduce wrinkles and jowls.

Facelift complications

The first four- to six days after surgery are reserved as rest. Avoid heavy lifting, exercise, and sex. After surgery, your head may need to be elevated for several days. Your surgeon will give you pain medication to help reduce swelling and pain. Your skin will feel tender and bruised. You can conceal scarring by applying make-up.
A facelift costs beyond your budget
Facelifts are expensive and can result in significant out-of-pocket expense. The facility or surgeon may charge a fee for the gown, gloves, scalpels, and needles. During recovery, you may need to pay for prescription medications and bandages. Additional charges may be incurred for monitoring anesthesia. Fortunately, there are ways to avoid these costs.
