MACS FACELIFT

As we age, the effects of gravity, sun exposure, and lifestyle choices begin to show on our faces as wrinkles, necklines, and general sagginess. Traditional facelifts, as we know them, can effectively address these concerns, but their results can sometimes appear unnatural or “wind-tunnel” like, which is why MACS facelift is considered a better procedure.

At Cornerstone Clinic, Dubai Marina, we offer a revolutionary option for facial rejuvenation: the Minimal Access Cranial Suspension (MACS) Lift. This innovative technique restores youthfulness more naturally and harmoniously, all while minimising recovery time and scarring.

WHAT IS MACS FACELIFT

The MACS facelift is a minimally invasive technique that focuses on the lower two-thirds of the face and neck. Unlike traditional facelifts, which rely on extensive skin removal and horizontal tension, the MACS Lift uses a vertical lifting approach. This involves strategically tightening and repositioning the underlying facial tissues, resulting in a more natural correction of sagging jowls, wrinkles, and loose skin around the neck area.

BENEFITS OF MACS FACELIFT

The MACS Lift prioritises preserving facial conformation and excessive removal of the skin. The main benefits of choosing a MACS facelift are:

• Facial Rejuvenation: The procedure addresses various concerns (jowls, wrinkles around the mouth and chin, and loose neck skin), creating a more sculpted and defined jawline and overall facial profile.
• Reduced Scarring: The MACS Lift uses shorter incisions carefully placed around the hairline and ears, which means that scar visibility will be minor, which in turn means faster healing time.
• Faster Recovery: Compared to traditional facelifts, the MACS facelift usually requires a shorter recovery time with less swelling and bruising. This allows you to return to your daily routine sooner than a traditional facelift.
• Lower Risk of Complications: Since the procedure is not extremely invasive, the risk of complications can be lower than that of traditional facelift techniques.

PROCEDURE

The MACS Lift is performed on an outpatient basis under general anaesthesia or sedation and the procedure itself takes approximately 2-2.5 hours and involves the following steps after a thorough consultation with the certified surgeon at Cornerstone Clinic in Dubai:

• Making short incisions: The surgeons will make short incisions around the hairline and ears
• Lifting and Tightening Tissues: Using a specialised technique, the underlying facial muscles and tissues are lifted and tightened vertically, minimising lateral tension and preserving natural facial contours.
