			A skin-only lift skips SMAS. A [[SMAS facelift]] plicates or excises it. A [[deep plane facelift]] goes under it. Threads, HIFU, and “non-surgical SMAS lift” ads borrow the acronym. They are not a surgical SMAS dissection. See [[thread lift]] and [[HIFU]].

The '''SMAS''' ('''superficial musculoaponeurotic system''') is a fibromuscular layer in the face and neck that plastic surgeons use as the working plane of a modern [[facelift]].<ref name="med">{{cite web |url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superficial_musculoaponeurotic_system |title=Superficial musculoaponeurotic system |website=Wikipedia |access-date=11 September 2026}}</ref> It is continuous in spirit with the [[platysma]] in the neck. A skin-only lift skips it; a [[SMAS facelift]] plicates or excises it; a [[deep plane facelift]] goes under it and releases ligaments.

Looksmaxxing marketing that sells a “non-surgical SMAS lift” with threads or machines is borrowing the word. Threads hitch; HIFU heats; neither is a surgical SMAS dissection. See [[thread lift]] and [[HIFU]].
