Superficial muscular aponeurotic system information
Superficial muscular aponeurotic system (or superficial musculoaponeurotic system[1]) (SMAS) is a thin yet tough[2]: 438 unitary tissue plane of the face[3] formed by facial fasciae, subcutis connective tissue, and facial muscles.[2]: 438 Its composition varies, containing muscle fibres in some areas, and fibrous or fibroaponeurotic tissue in others.[3] It connects to the dermis via vertical septa.[citation needed] It does not attach to bone. In most areas, a distinct plane can be defined deep to the SMAS (continuous with that formed between the platysma and underlying investing layer of deep cervical fascia).[3]
Superiorly, the SMAS extends to the galea aponeurotica of[citation needed] the scalp,[2]: 438 becoming continuous with temporoparietal fascia[1][1] (at the zygomatic arch[1]) and galea.[citation needed] It becomes continuous with the platysma muscle inferiorly (inferior to the inferior border of the mandible), and indistinct laterally (inferior to the zygomatic arch). Anteromedially, it blends with the epimysium of some facial muscles;[3] a link between facial muscles and the skin of the face is thereby established, enabling facial expression.[2]: 429 Over the parotid gland, the SMAS is firmly united with the superficial layer of parotid fascia.[4]
