For Face Lift, Memphis Plastic Surgeon Prefers MACS Lift or "S-Lift"

According to Germantown plastic surgeon Dr. Robert Wallace, a professor at the University of Tennessee Health Science Dept. of Plastic Surgery, minimally invasive procedures are the current trend, and for good reason.

In a Memphis Commercial Appeal report, Dr. Wallace says that less extensive surgery, non-surgical techniques, injectables and lasers that "produce tighter, thicker skin" are among the choices rapidly gaining popularity. But when it comes to an actual facelift, how does one go the minimally invasive route without cutting corners?

Dr. Wallace suggests that one new method of facelift isn't as "advanced" as some have claimed. The deep plane face lift was "used and later dropped" by his practice, due to its unsatisfactory results and long recovery time.

The "S-lift" is what Dr. Wallace recommends - a "minimum access cranial suspension lift" also known as the MACS lift. With fewer incisions, reduced scarring and a relatively short recovery time, the S-lift seems to meet the current criteria for facial aesthetic enhancement.

Especially if the results are so satisfying; "tighter cheeks, jaw and improved deep nasolabial folds and jowls" are expected.
