While SMAS surgery revolutionized facelift procedures, the single flap created by conventional dissections suffers the drawback that it can only be advanced in one direction and sutured in place under uniform tension. Division of the flap into three segments overcomes this problem and allows independent pull to be applied in different directions to the upper midface, cheek, and neck.
虽然SMAS手术彻底改变了面部提升手术,但传统解剖所形成的单一皮瓣存在一个缺点,即它只能在一个方向上推进,并在均匀张力下缝合到位。将皮瓣分成三个部分可克服这一问题,并允许在上中面部、脸颊和颈部不同方向上施加独立的拉力。
