MACS Facelift Without Including Under Eyes?

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 both decided on a plan for your lower lids.

Yes, it is possible to #combine an eye lift with a #facelift. In fact, I commonly recommend other procedures to go accompany a facelift, such as #blepharoplasty or a midface (cheek) lift, to name a few. The combination of multiple of facial procedures may create an optimal result.

The best procedure approach will be discussed in greater detail during your one-on-one #consultation. I invite you to visit PacificCenterPlasticSurgery.com to view a complete list of surgeries commonly performed. The first step is to seek a board certified plastic surgeon who is highly trained with your desired procedures. I also encourage you to look at before and after photos of the surgeons actual patients. Also, reading patient reviews of those who have had combined surgeries will be beneficial. Gathering all of this information will help you make a well-informed decision.

A blepharoplasty (eyelid procedure) and be done at the same time as a MACS lift. It is an independent procedure and should be discussed as such. 

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.

 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.
