Description of a MACS short scar lift
From RealSelf surgeon:
"Macs lift which means Minimial Access Cranial Suspension Lift. This procedure tightens and lifts the neck, removes jowels and redefines the jawline and also pins the muscles of the midface back up taking 10 - 15 years off the face with natural long lasting results. This technique offers a shorter incision that runs slightly above the ear along the hairline, around the ear and sometimes extended behind the ear. The underlying muscles are pulled up but not dissected."

1 year after mini/lower facelift
Scarring: unnoticeable
Numbness: none. full sensation along the ears and jawline has returned
Overall: Success. After about 6 months of healing I had Naso-labial fold filler, and I just got some Voluma for mid-face volume: to me, this completes the entire process. The facelift got rid of the extra skin/skin laxity, and the fillers added back the volume , which is the total package for facial rejuvenation. Very pleased with the results.
