Fig 1) A small "U" shaped incision is made around the earlobe |
 |
Fig 2) A "bloodless" dissection is made until the muscles of the face
- SMAS and Platysma are identified. |
 |
Fig 3) A "permanent" suture is placed into the playsma and SMAS muscle. |
 |
Fig 4) The sutures are then tied close to the earlobe tightening the
SMAS and platysma and therefore the jowl and neck area. |
 |
Fig 5) Excess skin is trimmed and the skin is closed using a
microsuture technique. |
