[Dual Plane] The skin layer, SMAS layer, and fat layer are dissected in sequence, then lifted layer by layer. |

Finding the right lifting method for me The evolution of lifting — Deep Plane Facelift
| Category | Dual Plane Facelift | Deep Plane Facelift |
|---|---|---|
| Method | Skin layer, SMAS layer, and fat layer dissected and lifted independently. | The skin, SMAS layer, and fat layer are dissected in sequence, then lifted together. |
| Advantages | Because the skin and SMAS layers are dissected and lifted separately, the shape of the soft tissues can be adjusted to improve sagging areas. | With strong lifting tension, the results last longer, and by minimizing subcutaneous dissection, a faster recovery is achieved. |
- What is the SMAS Layer?
- a thin fibromuscular layer located between the fat layer and the muscle, wrapping around the facial muscles. It is the primary structural cause of facial sagging over time.

Layers from Surface to Deep
- Skin Layer
- Fat Layer
- SMAS Layer (Fascia)
- Muscle Layer
- Skull
- Supporting Ligaments
- Supporting ligaments are soft tissues that connect the bones to muscles, fascia, subcutaneous fat, and the dermis, playing a crucial role in preventing skin sagging.
What Happens if the SMAS Layer is Not Properly Dissected?
If the SMAS layer is not properly dissected and only the skin is lifted, the risk of severe scarring or side effects like "pixie ear" (scarred ear) is significantly higher.
| Condition | Result |
|---|---|
| When only the surface of the skin is lifted | Examples of scarring and pixie ear side effects |
| When the SMAS layer is properly lifted | Proper Lifting Procedure |
The images are for illustrative purposes to assist with understanding. Therefore, it is essential to thoroughly dissect the SMAS layer and lift it firmly.
