title: Platysma-SMAS cervicofacial rhytidoplasty.
abstract: Platysma/SMAS procedures are still in the evaluation stage. Two significant advantages of the platysma/SMAS procedures are that (1) an operation can be designed for the individual patient's anatomic deformity, and (2) some problems that were little corrected by conventional facelifting techniques are improved dramatically with the extended procedures.
