SMAS lift
The SMAS lift tightens the muscles and tissue of the face
Find out here how a facelift with the SMAS technique works, what the advantages are, what it costs and what the result looks like.
SMAS lift
An SMAS facelift is a special technique that is used as part of a facelift to achieve a very natural tightening result. As with any facelift, the aim is to correct the signs of ageing on the face. The special thing about this method is that with SMAS, not only the skin but also the muscles and connective tissue underneath are prepared. This creates a structure under the skin that gives the skin the necessary volume so that it does not look unnaturally tight and smooth after the operation, but natural yet firmer.
If you are interested in a facelift using the SMAS method, please contact Dr. med. Klaus Niermann. He is the director of the Fontana Clinic in Mainz and, as a specialist in aesthetic and plastic surgery, specializes in all types of facelifts, including the SMAS lift.

Your SMAS lift in Mainz – Germany
The Fontana Clinic in Mainz specializes in facelifts. This also includes the effective SMAS lift. This is a specific surgical method that is used for a facelift. It offers the potential to achieve particularly good and natural results by not simply tightening the skin over the face, but also preparing the patient’s underlying tissue. This tissue is called SMAS.
The abbreviation stands for Superficial Musculo-Aponeurotic System. This is a layer of connective tissue and muscles located directly under the skin from the forehead to the neck. It is an important component of the face because it supports the skin from below. Over the years, this layer, including the muscles, sinks. This is one of the reasons why the overlying skin looks sunken with age, in addition to the pure loss of skin volume.
To compensate for this, during a facelift at the Fontana Clinic, various layers under the skin, including the SMAS, are always treated using the latest surgical techniques to achieve a natural result that shows the rejuvenation but not the surgery.
What are the advantages of the SMAS facelift?
Facelift surgery with SMAS is suitable for facelifts where a particularly natural result is to be achieved that also has a long-lasting rejuvenating effect. This becomes clear when compared to a “simple” facelift, the so-called purely cutaneous facelift. With this facelift method, only the skin is tightened smoothly – without taking into account the underlying layers such as the SMAS structures or the platysma muscle. A two-component facelift (SMA-lift), on the other hand, is different in that it first tightens these structures and then naturally tightens the skin above them.
What does an SMAS facelift cost?
The cost of an SMAS lift varies from person to person and depends on the desired technique, any combinations with other methods, your own anatomy and the time you spend in our clinic after the operation. As a guide, you should expect the cost of an SMAS lift to start at around 15,000 euros.
