The macs-facelift or mini lift

The macs-facelift (Minimal Access Cranial Suspension), S-lift, soft lift or also mini lift is an advanced technique for natural facial rejuvenation. The macs lift has, above all, an effect on the jaw line and sagging cheeks.

The macs lift is less drastic than the classic SMAS facelift. The macs-facelift guarantees lasting results, a smaller incision and thus a quicker recovery process. The “mini” in minilift therefore stands for mini scars and mini recovery period!

Macs-facelift: the procedure

During a macs lift, the plastic surgeon makes an incision on the front side of the ear. Via this incision, the sagging subcutaneous tissue is tightened with a special inner thread which is then attached to the upper section. Then, the extra skin is cut away and the wound is sutured. A subcutaneous drain is usually inserted for the removal of extra fluids and blood.
