Deep Plane Anatomy for the Facelift Surgeon: A Comprehensive Three-Dimensional Journey

This article highlights and summarizes the high-yield anatomic pearls in facelift surgery, particularly in sub-SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) dissection techniques. Emphasis is placed on the depth and transitions of the facial nerve branches and the sub-SMAS potential spaces and their role in deep plane facelift dissection. Key anatomic structures in the deep neck are described.PMID:35501058 | DOI:10.1016/j.fsc.2022.01.015
