The abbreviation MACS stands for Minimal Access Cranial Suspension (in plain English: a small incision and upwards movement of sagging parts). The MACS lift is a lifting procedure in which the skin is tightened through the smallest possible incisions in front of the ears or at the hairline. In contrast to the SMAS lift, the MACS lift is a smaller procedure, which is particularly suitable for younger people with less pronounced skin aging, in whom the skin shows a slight loss of elasticity, which means that a great treatment success with a fast healing process and an inconspicuous scarring formation can be expected.
Continue readingMACS Lift is also ideal for patients who want a gentle rejuvenation of the facial area without changing the natural facial expression. The MACS Lift is also ideal for tightening the cheek area. The cheeks, which have collapsed due to the natural ageing process, not only receive a tightening but also a volume increase by means of anchoring seams in the layer of connective tissue and mimic muscles. The surgery usually takes three to four hours and is performed either under general or local anesthesia. Possible bruises are rather small after the MACS lift. Measures to reduce the swelling of the facial region should nevertheless be carried out for about two to three days. For a soft skin we recommend the Mini Face Lift or the thread technique, where no cuts are made.
