The superficial musculoaponeurontic system is a specific area of the face that is important in rhytidecom. Rhytidecom, of course, is the medical term for facelift. The superficial musculoaponeurontic system is separated from the bone of the face and is then pulled upward, and effectually smoothes out the wrinkles of the face. The result is a more youthful look. The surgery is extremely delicate, and only plastic surgeons that are thoroughly schooled in superficial musculoaponeurontic system should perform it. Patients with a drooping chin and lateral gravity bags are good candidates for this procedure. This type of facelift has become very popular in the world of cosmetic surgery, and more surgeons are performing the surgery since the procedure was first introduced.
