Are You A Candidate For MACS Lift- The Procedure Of Choice For Your Facial Rejuvenation?

(I-Newswire) July 24, 2010 - If you are one of the men and women looking for facial rejuvenation and your plastic surgeon has suggested that it is too early to get a complete facelift done, and you are waiting to get older before you get a younger looking face, consider MACS. It is very effective and long lasting procedure, usually lasting for at least 10- 12 years while at the same time not scarring the tissues too much so that a future comprehensive face-lift is rendered difficult.

MACS lift or Minimal Access Cranial Suspension is technically the face lift with short scar. It is also popularly known as short scar facelift. The aim of the procedure is to obtain a harmonious and natural rejuvenation of the face and is designed more specifically for younger patients who are seeking a very natural and subtle change in their appearance.

Minimal Access Cranial Suspension lift – allows for the correction of sagging facial features through a short, minimal incision, elevating them vertically by suspending them from above.

It's a wonderful operation to rejuvenate the mid face, jowls, and neck with minimal inconvenience.

The principle behind the MACS-Lift is that the superficial and deep facial layers are repositioned in a purely vertical fashion with no backward pull that can often look "operated" in appearance.

The MACS lift involves an incision restricted to the front of the ear stretching only from the earlobe to the hairline on the sides at the level of the top of the ear, which is usually covered by the side curls or the sideburns and is therefore virtually invisible once it settles. Through that incision, the mid face is dissected right down to the jaw line and the upper neck skin is dissected by liposuction through a 4 mm incision under the chin. With the help of 2-3 strong loop sutures, the sagging tissues in the cheek are then plicated and lifted to be anchored to the deep tissues at the level of the hairline. This lifts the malar prominence back to a youthful position, tightens and smoothens the smile creases and lines at the corners of the mouth, improves the jowls, redefines the jaw line and tightens the sheet of muscles in the neck as well. It gives as good a result as the comprehensive face-lift while keeping the incision and dissection of the sagging tissues to a minimum thereby almost eliminating the risks of injury to important nerves and not scarring the tissues too much.

MACS-lift uses a shorter scar that is in front of the ear, instead of behind, which is much easier to hide. Overall, the MACS-lift surgery is safer because less skin is raised. This means that there is less risk of bleeding and nerve damage. The operation also takes less time, lasting 2.5 hours instead of the 3.5 hours that the traditional facelift requires. There is also a shorter recovery period. Finally, the results of the MACS-lift are very natural while the traditional facelift will often result in a "windswept" look.

The incision for the MACS lift is limited to the skin fold in front of the ear and follows the hairline under the sideburn. The zig-zag pattern incision makes the scar blend with the hairline, and it becomes virtually invisible.

The major differences between the MACS and traditional lift are:

• The MACS-lift uses a shorter scar that is in front of the ear, instead of behind- used in the traditional face lift, which is much easier to hide.
• The MACS-lift surgery is safer because less skin is raised. This means that there is less risk of bleeding and nerve damage.
• The operation also takes less time, lasting 2.5 hours instead of the 3.5-4 hours that the traditional facelift requires.
• There is also a shorter recovery period, 2-3 weeks instead of 3-4 weeks.
• Finally, the results of the MACS-lift are very natural while the traditional facelift will often result in a ‘windswept’ look.

Problems like scarring behind the ears, funny looking ear-lobes, or changes in your hairline-position are avoided with MACS-Lifting, and there is typically only around 2 weeks of downtime.

Most cosmetic surgeons have embraced this operation over traditional facelift since it is reliable, versatile, and leads to high patient satisfaction while minimizing downtime and eliminating most of the stigmata associated with traditional "Long scar" surgery.
