MACS lift (Minimal Access Cranial Suspension)

 • Introduced by Tonnard and Verpaele in PRS in
   2002 as a modification of a previous described mini
   lift “S-Lift”)

 • It combines the advantages of a mini face lift with
   the effectiveness of more invasive techniques
Traditional                                MACS




                                                   In MACS-lifting, the horizontal

used for redraping the skin, which can be
                                                   as much as possible to create an

3 different face-lifts in Triplets
PRS, 2006




82 patients
Evaluation:1 and 24
months




              • Shorter operating time
              • More post-op pain

                      No difference in the cosmetic results
Surgical Technique
(MACS Lift)
Skin Marking
•  Starts at the lower limit of the
  lobule, going up in the preauricular
  crease
• Incisura intertragica, the marking
  makes a 90-degree turn backward
• posterior edge of the tragus toward
  the helical root
• follows the small hairless recess
  between the sideburn and the
  auricle, turns downward to follow
  the inferior implantation of the
  sideburn
Solution
               • 100 ml 0.9 % NaCl
               • 20 ml 2% lidocaine
               • 10 ml 10 mg/ml
                 ropivacaine
               • 2 ml 8.4% sodium
                 bicarbonate
               • 0.2 ml 10 mg/ml
                 Adrenaline
               • 10 mg triamcinolone
inflitration
• 3mm cannula
                   • Two or three incisions are
                     used to crisscross the
                     marked area optimally
                   • preplatysmal plane
                   • A maximal lipectomy is
                     performed




Neck Liposuction
Incision into hair

 An incision parallel to the hair shafts
will produce a scar at the border of the
temporal hairline.




An incision perpendicular to the hair
shafts will produce hair regrowth
through the scar into the cheek flap.
The final scar will be hidden a few
millimeters within the hair-bearing
temporal skin and will be less visible
A limited skin flap is undermined
               in an oval area extending from 1
               cm above the zygomatic arch to the
               mandibular angle caudally and
               about 5 cm in the anterior
               direction




Skin Undermining
Anchor point
Frontal Branch of Facial nerve
1st   Suture: U- shape to the
             mandibular angle and the platysma

             2nd Suture: O – shape follows the
             anterior  border      of    the    skin
             undermining

             3rd Suture: U-shape from the lateral
             orbital rim to the malar fat pad




Placement of sutures
Skin resection

The correct vector of skin redraping is
vertical. There will be no dog ear around
the earlobe, and a small dog ear at the
superior edge of the incision can be
corrected by extending the incision for 1
cm.
The      temporal      hairline
incision is mandatory in any
vertical face lift technique to
avoid unnatural raising of
the sideburns.

No skin resection in the
preauricular region.

After vertical redraping of
the skin flap, the earlobe
will be folded upward, and a
small skin excision is made
to place the earlobe back in
its natural position
When the skin of the neck is very loose
and wrinkled because of excessive sun
damage, vertical folds may appear in
the infralobular region at the end of
vertical skin redraping
(A) a zigzag incision is performed
                          just within the occipital hairline.

                           (B) The skin flap is created by
                          blind dissection at a superficial
                          subcutaneous level.

                           (C) The skin is redraped in the
                          occipital direction, and the skin
                          excess is determined.

                          (D) Skin closure




Posterior Cervicoplasty
Literature Review about the complications after
          incisionless lifting with threads


The complication rate ranges from 2.8% to 69 %

2011, Sulamanidze: 609 complications occurred for
6,098 patients
  3% asymmetry
  2.8% contour irregularities in 2.8 %
  2.7% early relapse

  • 24. Skin resection The correct vector of skin redraping is vertical. There will be no dog ear around the earlobe, and a small dog ear at the superior edge of the incision can be corrected by extending the incision for 1 cm.
  • 25. The temporal hairline incision is mandatory in any vertical face lift technique to avoid unnatural raising of the sideburns. No skin resection in the preauricular region. After vertical redraping of the skin flap, the earlobe will be folded upward, and a small skin excision is made to place the earlobe back in its natural position
  • 26. When the skin of the neck is very loose and wrinkled because of excessive sun damage, vertical folds may appear in the infralobular region at the end of vertical skin redraping
  • 27. (A) a zigzag incision is performed just within the occipital hairline. (B) The skin flap is created by blind dissection at a superficial subcutaneous level. (C) The skin is redraped in the occipital direction, and the skin excess is determined. (D) Skin closure Posterior Cervicoplasty

  1. In 1968 Tord Skoog introduced the concept of subfacial dissection, therefore providing suspension of the stronger deeper layer rather than relying on skin tension to achieve his facelift In 1979, Tessier demonstrated that the subperiosteal undermining of the superior and lateral orbital rims allowed the elevation of the soft tissue and eyebrows with better results than the classic face-lifting
  2. All traditionalfacelift designs have an oblique vectorof traction on the SMAS which can be decomposedinto a horizontal and a vertical component(Fig. 49.1). The horizontal component of this vector oftraction on deep tissues and skin does not really rejuvenatethe face. It rather flattens the face and puts itundertension
  3. Fig. 6. (A) Skin incision. The marking starts at the lower limit of the lobule, going up in the preauricular crease. At the level of the incisuraintertragica, the marking makes a 90-degree turn backward for preserving the integrity of this anatomic landmark. The marking then follows the posterior edge of the tragus, ascending toward the helical root. At the superior limit of the ear the marking follows the small hairless recess between the sideburn and the auricle and then turns downward to follow the inferior implantation of the sideburn. (B) Skin undermining. The lowest point of the undermining lies two fingerbreadths below this point and corresponds with the cranial border of the platysma. The extent of the undermining is marked starting from the lowest point of the incision at the lobule, down to the lowest point described above, and then curving anteriorly to a point halfway between the tragus and the oral commissure. The oval is then closed toward the sideburn. In an extended MACS-lift, the undermining includes the area over the malar fat pad.
  4. The final solution is about 150 cc. 50 cc are inflitrated at each cheek and 50cc at the neck for the liposuction. When is performed under local anesthesia is important to include sodium bicorbonate as it increases the action of the local anesthetic. When the lifting is performed under general anesthesia is not clear if the tumescent anesthesia is helpful. However personally I think that apart from hemostasis the inflitration helps to make the dissection of the flap easier
  5. Neck liposuction should always be performed even in cases that at first seems that will not be necessary. The liposuction will make the skin of the neck more moveable during the skin redraping
  6. . Comparison of temporal hairline incisions parallel and perpendicular to the hair shafts (in the manner of Camirand).
  7. The anchor point for the first two sutures is the deep temporal fascia 1cm above the zygomatic arch in front of the helical rim. For the third suture the anchor point is the anterior part of the deep temporal fascia, lateral to the lateral orbital wall.
  8. From the lateral orbital rim and the superior edge of the zugomatic arch
  9. The purse-string suture is continued in a narrow U-shape, first in a craniocaudal direction, descending in front of the ear from the first bite down to the mandibular angle, making a U-turn, and returning 1 cm anteriorly in a parallel cranial direction to the starting point. A firm amount of parotid fascia in the cranial part and of platysma in the caudal part is taken with every bite of the needleA second purse-string suture is started at the same point and is directed in an angle of about 30 degrees anterior to the original vertical purse string in a more open, oval shape to correct the jowling and the marionettegrooves. The suture is carried to the edge of the undermined area and then taken back to the starting pointU-shaped purse-string suture is placed between the anterior part of the deep temporal fascia and the malar fat pad (Fig. 3, right). By putting tension on this suture, anobvious flattening of the nasolabial groove and raising of the malar fat pad will result.
  10. A lateral redraping of the skin will produce tension and flattening of the face, and a dog ear will be created below the earlobe. To correct this, a retroauricular dissection will have to be performed. To avoid a retroauricular scar, this lateral skin redraping should not be done. (B) In the MACS-lift, the correct vector of skin redraping is vertical. There will be no dog ear around the earlobe, and a small dog ear at the superior edge of the incision can be corrected by extending the incision for 1 cm.
