The Difference of Getting MACS Mini Facelift


The popularity of an S lift, which is also referred to as the mini lift or MACS mini facelift (Minimal Access Cranial Suspension), stemmed from patients testimonies that they often get a more natural face transformation result compared to the ‘windswept’ look that is usually acquired from a full facelift. This advanced technology cosmetic procedure will effectively lift sagging skin on the jaw line and cheeks, as well as firm the neck to make it look more youthful

With regards to the difference of getting a mini lift rather than the customary facelift, this cosmetic surgery will result to scars that can be simply conceived since the incision are placed in front of the ear rather than behind it. Another great thing about a MACS mini facelift is that it’s considered to be highly safe. This is because only a smart portion of the skin is raised so the danger of bleeding and possible damage of the nerves is avoided.

Unlike a full facelift that takes 3.5 hours to get done, a mini facelift only needs a matter of 2.5 hours to be completely finished. Aside from the fast procedure, patients are also expected to swiftly recuperate following a mini lift in a period of just 2-3 weeks and not go through the 3-4 weeks recovery time of a classic facelift. So the ‘mini in MACS mini facelift obviously means a shorter recovery process and little scars seen on the face.

Choosing to go for an S lift will no doubt give you the result of a face that looks normally firm and youthful. One thing to remember is that despite the fact that a MACS mini facelift will produce long lasting outcomes on your rejuvenated face, it can’t prevent the natural aging process of your skin.
