S-Lift
Dr. Shatkin's technique of the S-Lift is a 2 layer lift, both on the skin and on the deeper muscle and fascia layer beneath the skin, made through a shortened “S” shaped incision hiding in the creases around the ear. This combination external and internal lift technique allows for a quicker recovery due to the limited dissection or lifting of the skin from the lower layers, and us these deeper layers to anchor the lift, thus giving it stability for a longer lasting result.
