Dr Roberto Viel appears in the Daily Mail 5th Jan 2012 to discuss the MACS Face-lift for the new you in 2012.
Tired of the loose skin and sagging skin around the jawline, then see what Dr Roberto Viel can do for you to refreshen up your face in 2012 with the MACS Face-lift without the ‘wind-tunnel’ effect.
This January, we want to help you look your best in 2012. The economy is not the best currently, and there is even more need than ever to look your best to stay competitive. 2012 is turning for the better, and we need to start with ourselves so we decided to ask Dr Roberto Viel of the London Centre of Aesthetic Surgery on Harley Street what he suggest to help with the sagging skin around the jawline, and around the lower part of our face.
What is the MACS Face-Lift?
The MACS (Minimal Access Cranial Suspension) Face-lift or better known as the short-scar facelift is a simple and effective face-lift operation that is designed to lift the lower two-thirds of the face in a relatively straight forward procedure with minimal inconvenience to the patient.
Why is it not the same traditional ‘wind-tunnel’ face-lifts like Joan Rivers?
This is a more gentle technique lifting the face vertically, thereby, not changing much of the original structure of the face. The old traditional methods still pull backwards, which tugs on the mouth and the corner of nose creating the unwanted ‘wind-tunnel’ effect.
What can I do to maintain this look?
Often with patients whose skin in lose on the face, they also perform the blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) that makes the eye look heavy. This can be done at the same time as the face-lift, giving the face an overall refreshing look. We also recommend doing regular botox treatments to prevent wrinkles in certain areas, but we maintain that the patient should look natural at the same time, and not frozen.
How long does the MACS-Lift procedure take?
The face-lift using the MACS-Lift technique takes around 2 hours under sedation, which is not the same as general anaesthesia. It is a mid-point between local and general anaesthesia, and yet the patient will have no memory of the procedure, known as a ‘twilight sedation’.
How long will I take to recover from the face-lift using the MACS-Lift method?
You have to wear a headband for 4 days, and the stitches are removed after 7 – 10 days. The scars after a while are almost invisible as most of it remains with the hairline so it is a perfect procedure even if you have short hair.
