The MACS-lift, or minimal
access cranial suspension lift, is a new European facelift
that compares very favourably with the traditional facelift.
The MACS-lift
is not designed to replace the traditional facelift completely
but it is an adjunct for men and women in their late 30s,
40s and probably early 50s.
Patients want more of a European-type
change that is subtle and youthful, rather than the more
obvious American-type facelift, which can create a wind-tunnel
effect or skin that looks too tight. The MACS-lift involves
less undermining of the skin than the traditional facelift
and does not require exposing the facial nerves.
In fact, the
extent of undermining of the skin is probably 50 per cent
of that of the traditional facelift.
There are many other advantages to the MACS-lift when it is
compared to a full facelift.
The 'Mac facelift' procedure is quicker
- taking an average of two hours versus the four to five hours
required for a traditional facelift - plus the operation can
be performed under local anaesthesia with sedation and is tolerated
quite well by the patient.
The 'Mac facelift' is probably best suited to the patient who
is contemplating facial rejuvenation for the first time and
requires mild to moderate changes in the lower face and neck
region. Rehabilitation
is fast - two weeks as opposed to four to six weeks for a traditional
facelift. Downtime is a significant factor economically for
the age group of patients who choose to have a facelift. For
executives from the corporate world, for example, time is a
crucial factor.
