Are You Tired of Looking Tired?
Have you had days where you feel great until concerned friends ask what’s wrong? Do people think you’re angry because of your facial expression when you’re perfectly happy? These may be signs that it’s time for a little help to make you look refreshed, youthful and pleasant. Facial rejuvenation procedures today just aren’t ‘your mother’s facelift’! Recent advancements in surgical procedures now enable you to achieve your most youthful, natural and beautiful appearance without the lengthy, invasive procedures of the past.
Many patients are interested in having small, early procedures to maintain a youthful appearance, rather than waiting until more advanced signs of aging have set in. The MACS lift, also known as a Quicklift, offers improvement in the lower face and neck to patients with both early and advanced signs of aging. This procedure is a minimal incision lift which utilizes suture suspension of the underlying tissue to gently lift the face in a natural, upward direction. Small incisions are made at the ear border but there is no incision made under the chin. The MACS lift can also be extended to lift the mid face and improve drooping of the ‘apple’ of the cheek. In many cases, fat is also transferred into the nasolabial folds and perioral area to soften and improve an aging mouth. You can achieve a younger lifted appearance that is very natural and does not look pulled or artificial.
The MACS lift can be combined with upper or lower lid blepharoplasty to correct hooded lids or bags under the eyes. Many women in their late thirties and early forties begin to notice that they are no longer smooth under their eyes. They complain that their eye shadow is no longer visible and mascara dots their upper lids because of skin droop. Excess upper lid skin can be removed with an ultra fine incision in the upper lid crease which often becomes invisible over time. Small amounts of fat can also be removed through this incision to reduce puffiness of the lid. Lower lid fat is generally removed with no external incision. If excess skin is removed, a fine incision is made near the lash line to remove excess skin.
For many patients, especially younger patients like those in their forties or fifties, the MACS lift, with or without an eyelift can provide excellent and long lasting improvement with a much less invasive procedure than a traditional facelift. The MACS lift requires shorter surgical time, less discomfort and more rapid healing than a traditional facelift. Procedures performed while others are saying ‘you still look fine’ are the key to maintaining a natural, youthful appearance that will make them wonder why you’re just not getting any older!
