Mini Face Lift

DESCRIPTION

Facial ageing occurs progressively over time. The cheeks descend, the nasolabial and marionette lines become heavier, jowls start to obscure the definition of the jawline and the neck becomes loose. Whilst a “face lift” procedure will address these changes, in the early stages of facial ageing a full facelift would be over-treatment for most people.

The modified S-Lift, also known as a mini-facelift or a MACS lift, is ideal in these circumstances to improve most of these signs of ageing, without the need for a full facelift. The S-Lift is faster to perform, leaves less scars and has a shorter recovery time than a full facelift.

Results

The S-lift procedure will elevate the cheek tissues thereby reducing the weight of the jowls and redefining the jaw line. The platysma muscle, which is partially responsible for the sagging tissues of the neck, is tightened thereby improving the line and drape of the neck. The marionette and nasolabial lines are reduced. All of these results are evident immediately post-operatively however the swelling associated with the operation itself, which takes three to five days to pass, will partially obscure them initially.
