Mini-Face Lift

One of the most recent developments in facial cosmetic surgery has been the mini-facelift which is also known as the MACS-lift or S-lift. It is designed to redefine the contour of the jaw line and tighten the cheek skin. It does not improve loose skin on the neck and is therefore only suitable if your main ageing features are confined to the face. The main feature of this procedure is the short scar which is limited to the skin crease in front of the ear. A mini-facelift can be combined with a blepharoplasty or with liposuction under the chin to rejuvenate the whole face. This type of facelift can be carried out under general anaesthetic as a day case procedure or even under local anaesthetic with sedation since this is a more limited procedure. The recovery time is also shorter than a conventional facelift.
