A globally performed facelift surgery method, MACS Lift targets significant aging signs in the mid to lower face, such as nasolabial folds and sagging jawlines, semi-permanently.
MACS Lift effectively lifts sagging facial tissue down to the SMAS layer, addressing the root cause of facial sagging. Compared to traditional facelift surgery, MACS Lift reduces the length of the incision and focuses on the mid and lower face, where most significant aging signs occur.

Q.Will it make a lot of scars?
A. While the operation will inevitably leave a scar, it is expected to improve and fade over time. With regular application of ointments or laser treatments, you can effectively minimize the appearance of the scar, so there is no need for excessive concern.
Q.Are there any potential side effects or risks associated with this procedure?
A. Potential side effects include hematoma, swelling, bruising, pain, and scarring. However, by diligently adhering to all post-procedural precautions and following your healthcare provider's instructions, these side effects can often be minimized or avoided. It is important to attend follow-up appointments and report any unusual symptoms promptly to ensure optimal healing and address any issues that may arise.
Q.Would it hurt a lot?
A. The level of pain is expected to be minimal due to the administration of sedation anesthesia. However, post-procedural pain may vary among individuals. If you experience a sudden development of fever accompanied by worsening pain within three days after the surgery, it is essential to seek immediate medical attention. Additionally, you may experience temporary discomfort, such as a sensation of facial tightness or numbness. These symptoms are generally transient and should gradually improve over time. It is crucial to follow all post-operative care instructions and attend follow-up appointments to monitor your recovery and address any concerns promptly.
Q.When can I return to my daily life?
A. Recovery times may vary among individuals; however, you can generally resume normal activities once the thread is removed, typically within 7 to 10 days. It is important to avoid vigorous activities, such as running, as these can elevate blood pressure and potentially increase swelling. Additionally, you should exercise caution with heavy lifting, any actions that place strain on your face, and tasks that require keeping your head lowered for extended periods. Sauna use may be permissible around one month post-procedure, depending on your recovery progress. Following all post-operative guidelines and consulting with your healthcare provider will ensure a smooth and effective recovery.
Q.Are there any surgeries or procedures that pair well with MACS Lift?
A. We recommend a surgical approach to optimize anti-aging effects, which typically includes procedures such as self-fat transplantation to address deep marionette wrinkles around the mouth, upper blepharoplasty to rejuvenate the eyelids, removal or relocation of excess fat under the eyes, and facial liposuction to target areas with excessive fat. HERSHE advocates for a balanced approach to surgical intervention, avoiding excessive procedures. We emphasize a thorough consultation process to collaboratively determine the most appropriate surgical plan tailored to your individual needs and goals.
