Suddenly, your face looks old, tired, worn out. Even worse, because you look old, others treat you "old". Dr Weiglein has a solution!

Your face is the road map of where you have been, physically and emotionally. Every laugh, tear, worry and frown leaves its mark. Sun, stress, gravity and of course the unavoidable, relentless passage of time. Permanent lines, sagging, wrinkles and creases result.

"Descent" is the final sign of facial aging. The deteriorated facial tissues cannot shrink as the facial volume is lost; so they hang (descend) instead. This descent produces low brows, sagging upper and lower eyelids, lines around your between your mouth and nose, jowls and neck bands.

But it doesn't have to be that way. Facelift surgery, or a rhytidectomy, is designed to restore a more youthful appearance by removing and redistributing excess skin from the face and tightening the major wrinkles and sagging skin. Not only does a facelift improve facial appearance but also has a dramatic effect on the neck, enhancing its contour and profile. A facelift can make a patient look 5 to 10 years younger. Dramatic results that look natural .

You may benefit from a face lift if you:

  • appear tired and worn out due to laxity of the facial skin
  • have heavy lines extending from the nose to the corners of the mouth
  • have lost facial fullness due to weight loss or menopause
  • look older than you feel

Procedure MACS FACE LIFT

MACS stands for Minimal Access Cranial Suspension Lift

The MACS face lift is the most effective in achieving results with the least amount of surgery or downtime. Dr Weiglein specializes in doing the MACS lift which is distinctly different than a traditional facelift.

Minimal Access means that the incision is very short and the amount of tissue undermining is minimal. The incision extends from in front of the temporal hairline, under the sideburn, in front of the ear to the earlobe. (not around the back or the ear)

Cranial Suspension means that permanent - invisible- sutures lift and secure the tissues being lifted for long term by attaching the sutures to the immobile tissue just above the lateral cheek bone.

The advantages of the MACS Face Lift are:

  • a natural restoration of a younger face, neckline and jawline
  • less operating time so less bruising, swelling and recovery time
  • a permanent suture support holding the "lift" in place for long term support
  • better results than the tradition method of face and neck lift
  • treats more areas of cosmetic concern that just the face

A facelift can safely be performed in conjunction with blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), forehead lift, chin augmentation, and/or liposuction, to create an overall rejuvenation of the face. The procedure can be repeated as gravity continues its effects after the first surgery.

Post Operative Care

It is necessary to have someone drive you home and stay with you for the first 24 hours. Initially you will have a large dressing wrapped around your head. The outer, visible sutures are removed in the first week . Invisible sutures stay in place. Scarring fades quickly. Swelling and discoloration decrease within one week. Tightness in your face will be present for several weeks. We recommend that you avoid the sun for several weeks after surgery.

Take back the 10 years that stand between then and now.
