Characteristics of Face Lift

01

Improving Both Dermal Layers and SMAS Layer

The sagging of the SMAS membrane contributes as much to the aging face as does loss of elasticity in the superficial dermal layer. The classic or traditional facelift surgery addresses only the superficial dermal skin unit – and usually results in a “too tight” or pinched look.

절The procedure addresses the problems of the lower two-thirds of the face including removal of sagging skin and excess fat, tightening of neck muscles, jowls and-restoring volume to cheeks that have become hollow and deflated.

The SMAS layer is the most important layer for facelift.

SMAS – or superficial musculo-aponeurotic system
– is composed of multiple fibrous extensions that attach through the
subcutaneous fat to the superficial epidermal-dermal
layer of the skin, and these connections
cause the three layers of the facial skin to “move together” as a unit.
Due to thin layered structure, it is vulnerable to
gravity resulting one of the leading cause for saggy skin

Surgical Method of Face Lift

Minor Stage of Wrinkles and Sagginess (MACS LIFT)

■ MACS LIFT란

The term MACS-Lift –or Mininal Access Cranial
Suspension Lift- allows for the correction of
sagging facial features through a short,
minimal incision, elevating them vertically by
suspending them from above.

MACS LIFT is a surgical method that fixes the SMAS
layer with a minimal incision in front of
ear, ties the layer in a round way with use
of threads, and thus improves saggy skin. It is a method of ‘double lifting’ as pulling up both skin
and SMAS layer and minimally invasive with long
lasting effective results.
