Incisional Facelift (MACS) & Lower Blepharoplasty
A case study of a female patient in her 60s who achieved significant rejuvenation through a MACS facelift and lower blepharoplasty after thread lifts failed to provide results.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 60s
# Concerned about sagging jowls on both sides and marionette lines around the mouth.
# Visited our clinic because previous thread lifts provided limited results.
* Consultation
# While thread or mini-lifts can yield satisfactory results when skin sagging is mild, they have limitations for middle-aged patients over 60 who have significant skin laxity and fine wrinkles.
# In such cases, a more definitive lifting effect can be achieved by firmly lifting the SMAS (the skin’s support layer) while simultaneously removing excess sagging skin.
* Surgical Plan
Incisional Facelift (MACS)
Lower Blepharoplasty + Midface Lift
* Post-operative Progress
# For patients with significant skin sagging like this individual, threads alone have their limits.
# A satisfactory lifting effect is achieved by removing sagging skin through a minimal incision that runs from the temple, along the sideburns, and around the ear toward the neck.
# Scars are minimized by following the natural curves of the hairline and the front of the ear.
# To feel a definitive lifting effect, the most sagged parts of the SMAS layer must be firmly pulled and anchored. This is the MACS lifting!
Always seek consultation and surgery from a board-certified plastic surgeon!
