The MACS Lift Restores the Facial Contour

The MACS Lift, acronym for Minimal Access Cranial Suspension, is a modern facelift that corrects the blurring of the facial contour and moderate neck laxity.

This suspension technique lifts the ptosed fat in the jowls and re-contours the cheekbones.

In its classic version, this facelift allows a short scar, without extending behind the ears.

The MACS Lift, performed by a specialist cosmetic surgeon, is a safe surgery producing natural results. The specialist surgeon will work meticulously on your facial contour. Dr Weiss, specialist in facial cosmetic surgery in Paris (Hauts-de-Seine), invites you to discover the answers to the main questions about the MACS Lift.

Choosing the right type of facelift for each patient is essential. Only an experienced surgeon skilled in different facelift techniques can guide you towards the choice adapted to your case, for the most natural result possible.

If you suffer from facial skin laxity but do not have significant cervical laxity (at the neck), MACS lifting can remedy this imperfection.

If skin laxity is significant, it is necessary to extend the scar behind the ears, which allows much more effective re-tightening of excess neck skin.

A short tragal or pre-tragal scar (located on the anterior border of the ear), extended into the scalp, is made.

The skin is undermined sufficiently to expose the SMAS (Superficial Musculo-Aponeurotic System).

Two or three loops are made to suspend the SMAS at the jowl level, to re-tighten sagging neck skin and restore cheekbone volume.

Tension is applied mainly vertically, allowing skin re-draping without scars behind the ears.

Dr Weiss often uses, in cases of significant imperfections, mixed facelifts combining MACS Lift techniques with the classic cervico-facial facelift to re-contour and restore lost facial volumes.

Important:
Dr Weiss personally operates both sides using proven surgical techniques.

The effects of the MACS Lift are spectacular, producing a notable rejuvenation effect.

Surgical facelifts, unlike aesthetic medicine procedures, are stable. If the face is rejuvenated by an average of 10 years, this rejuvenation remains for life.
