This 63-year-old woman desired improvement in her aging face and was hoping for a natural result and did not want to look "overdone". She was hoping not to have a full facelift. She also had some aging upper eyelids so she underwent upper blepharoplasty with a mini facelift using the MACS lift -Which stands for minimal access cranial suspension. In this technique, the incisions are limited to the temporal hairline and in front of the ear but did not involve incisions behind the ear. Elevation of the soft tissue is done with internal suturing which addresses the deeper structures of the face. In this case, the patient did have a small submental or under the chin incision to fix her platysmal bands. She also underwent a standard upper blepharoplasty. Each patient has to be individualized and many patients wish to have a lesser procedure than a full facelift but may not be candidates. Mini facelifts may be all the patient needs and in many cases, can last 6-10 years or more. Somewhat more limited results may occur compared to a full facelift, but the recovery is shorter. This patient had reasonable goals and understood that there would be some degree of persistent laxity but wanted a shorter recovery And less scar. She was very pleased with her outcome. Future procedures like radiofrequency micro needling or other types of laser treatments may help to maintain the result
