MACS stands for “Minimal Access Cranial Suspension.” This type of facelift surgery requires the placement of sutures in strategic places to tighten the SMAS layer with minimal scarring.
This face lift technique is often a good choice for patients who desire facial rejuvenation in the cheek and jowl region. While most patients who opt for this procedure are typically those in their 40’s and 50’s who are beginning to show the signs of aging and have limited skin laxity, a MACS Lift can also be performed on select older patients.
A MACS Lift typically is performed using a shorter scar, and often times, is called Short Scar Facelift, or S-Lift. Both the MACS Lift and Mini Lift techniques allow for a quick recovery while providing the patient with a long-lasting result.
A mild degree of discomfort, bruising, and swelling will likely be present in the first few days after surgery, but most patients are able to resume normal activities at about 7-10 days after the procedure.
The scars from a mini facelift are quite inconspicuous and very well hidden in the curves in front of the ear. There may be an early phase where the scars are a little pink in discolouration which is normal but they will then continue to mature. After a few months they will fade but it can take up to one year before they have matured completely.
To further improve enhancement, some of our patients also choose to combine this procedure with other complementary treatments – such as a neck lift, a brow lift, or blepharoplasty – for a more complete rejuvenation.
