A few years ago, it is very easy to notice people who have undergone a facelift surgery. Their face looks pulled making their lips and nose appear wider. Today, you will seldom see this sight among facelift patients. All you can see is the more youthful look. There is a new Chicago facelift technique that makes this possible.

The traditional technique is to address the sagging and lax skin by separating the skin from the tissue below, pulling the skin and then removing excess skin. Although this solves the problem of sagging skin, the main complaint of patients with this technique is that they look like their face looks like that are skydiving. The contour of their face looks unnatural.

Today, facelift surgeons go to the muscles underneath the skin. Over the years, these muscles sag causing the face to look old. The Sub-muscular Aponeurotic System (SMAS) or the structure beneath the skin of the face is configured to make the surgery look natural on the face.

The benefit of this aside from a more natural look is that it makes the face lift last longer since it is the structure that is addressed. This is the new technique that Chicago facelift surgeons are using today. You can see many celebrities today who look better but you won’t even think that they had a face lift surgery.
