I'm just about to have a MACS Face lift. But the doctor told me he won't do under eyes surgery as well. Is it ok? Can the results be just as good?I was told once that it was much better to do both at the same time. I'm worried about puckering under my eyes afterwards.

Answer: MACS Lift? A MACS lift is a form of mini-lift that utilizes two suture loops in order to purse string the SMAS, followed by redundant skin removal. Although the photo is limited to a frontal view, a SMAS lift or other form of mini-lift should be helpful in addressing your jowls and jawline. Can your lower eyelids be addressed at the same time? The simple answer is that they can technically, but your Surgeon may seem something in your examination which has affected his/her decision making. My personal preference with addressing the SMAS (the deeper fibro-fatty layer) is to elevate and reposition it, a technique known as imbrication. A MACS lift alone will not be very helpful for your neck and addition of volume to the cheeks would also be helpful.

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