Abstract
AbstractExtended deep plane techniques have become the benchmark of facelift surgery. Yet these techniques assume release of the medial most of zygomatic retaining ligaments, which makes them rather complex and highly dependent on training and experience. In this article, we will review and describe the adapted extended high-superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) approach of the author and discuss the obstacles that can be encountered mastering this technique.
