MACS-Lift

The MACS-Lift offers the advantages of a traditional face-lift without many of the problems. It's an ingenious, minimally-invasive outpatient procedure that's a perfect example of how less really can be more.

Oral Sedation (Valium) relaxes the patient and tumescent local anesthesia serves multiple purposes by gently lifting the skin from underlying tissue and allowing for a nearly bloodless procedure. A small incision is made in the natural crease in front of the ear and is meticulously closed. It heals to a barely detectable scar. Patients are allowed to go home and relax after the surgery.

The procedure takes about two hours, and results in:

• A more youthful, natural look
• Quick recovery (3-7 days)
• Cost Savings (about 1/3 the cost of a traditional face-lift)
• Lower Risk
• Smaller incisions with virtually no bleeding
• Less post-operative bruising, swelling, pain and scarring.
• The youthful restoration of sagging sin in the lower 2/3rds of the face and neck.

Recovery from the MACS-Lift is much easier than from a traditional face-lift, and has less potential for complication and discomfort due to the procedure's innovative technique.

"I found the MACS-Lift to be a great way to improve wrinkles and firm up my jaw and neck line. The surgery itself was remarkably easy and recovery was nothing like what you'd expect from plastic surgery. The bandages were off the next day, and I was only mildly uncomfortable during the procedure."
