This month, we feature Dr. Michael R. Lee discussing his article: Identifying Regional Viscoelastic Properties of the Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System
by Robert Lukavsky, MD; Andrew Trussler, MD; Fritz E. Barton Jr, MD, FACS; and Michael Lee, MD, FACS.

In this Original Article the authors looked at the viscoelastic properties of bursting
strength, stress relaxation, and creep in the lateral, mid-cheek, and medial regions of the SMAS and
determined the lateral SMAS has a stronger bursting strength than the mid-cheek and medial SMAS, but
stress relaxation appears to be similar in all 3 vertical regions. Two Commentaries accompany this article. Dr.
Stuzin points out that in performing a large number of extended SMAS dissections, the SMAS directly
overlays the malar eminence and is often thick and fibrous due to the zygomatic osteocutaneous ligaments
percolating through this portion of the SMAS. Another Commentary by Dr. Vladimir Mitz indicates it is still
necessary to conserve an absolute naturalness without deformation of the facial features through the
appropriate use of the deep structures of the face and to avoid deformations linked to the action of vectors
of tension-rotation that would not take into account the degeneration of the elastic fibers of the SMAS.
