Facelift Dubai | 16 January 2022

MACS Facelift surgery is a procedure aimed at reducing the effects of aging through the repositioning of the skin and muscles around the face and neck area. 

The procedure is generally the preference of those who wish to remove wrinkles which appear as the skin ages. This may cause the patient to look younger, whilst also offering a solution to those who feel unsatisfied with the appearance of looser skin, and less defined facial structure. The MACS lift, sometimes known as a Short Scar Lift, is a less invasive procedure than a traditional face lift.

When considering face lift surgery there are a number of variations which to consider. The choice of procedure may well be affected by factors such as the degree of correction necessary, the facial structure of the patient, and the preferences of the consultant and the patient.

The MACS lift (Minimal Access Cranial Suspension) or Short Scar Facelift is a relatively new procedure, giving many of the benefits of a traditional facelift but with less scarring and downtime. The incision is an inverted “L” shape and lies in the temple hair line and extends down in front of the ear. Three deep suspension stitches hold the facial structures in their new position, excess skin is removed and a small drain left in place over night.

The procedure takes around 2.5 to 3 hours under general anaesthetic and most patients are discharged home the following morning with an elastic head dressing for support.

Skin stitches are removed around 5 days later and the patient is subsequently seen as an out patient. This has now become a very popular operation for younger patients and those who are apprehensive about under going a full neck and face lift.
