A: MACS facelift and eye lid surgery

By William Portuese, MD - Seattle Facial Plastic Surgeon

There is puckering that can occur with a MACS facelift. A traditional comprehensive face/neck lift with upper and lower blepharoplasty can certainly be done at the same time rather than going with a MACS facelift. These operations can be done separately or together; however, it is best to undergo one... more

A: MACS Facelift without including under eyes?

By Peter A. Aldea, MD - Memphis Plastic Surgeon

In looking at your photograph I believe you would do very well with a MACS lift. You are right to question the seeming illogical exclusion of the lower lids. The MACS lift includes lifting of the face with 3 O-shaped sutures which elevate the sub skin structures where they belong. In so doing, as the tissues... more

You may certainly undergo concurrent facelift surgery and lower eyelid surgery. The MACS lift will definitely manage your lower face and jowls, but, if you are concerned with your eyes, it will not address this area at all. You may also want to ask your surgeon about the decent of your mid face when you have... more

A: MACS Facelift without including under eyes depends

By Min S. Ahn, MD - Westborough Facial Plastic Surgeon

While I most often perform at least a lower eyelid pinch blepharoplasty with a MACS lift, it depends on whether you need it. If you do have extra lower eyelid skin and puffiness, then a lower eyelid lift at the same time as the MACS lift is appropriate. If you don't have extra lower eyelid skin, then the MACS... more

A: See a plastic or facial plastic surgeon who is a facelift specialist.

By Toby G. Mayer, MD - Beverly Hills Facial Plastic Surgeon

You are right! Both can be done at the same time and you will get a better result. You need to see an experienced facelift surgeon to discuss these issues but also a mid face lift as well with the pros and cons of each.

A: MACS Facelift can be done without doing eyes

By Nathan Mayl, MD - Ft. Lauderdale Plastic Surgeon

A facelift can be done without doing the eyes, providing that the lower lids will not be adversely affected by the direction of the pull of the lift. From your appearance in the pictures you will do fine without having your lids done. However, you do need to have the central portion of your neck done to get... more
