Facelift Types
A traditional facelift is designed to address significant signs of aging in the face and neck. The traditional facelift effectively targets deep wrinkles, sagging jowls, and loose neck skin, offering dramatic and long-lasting results. Beyond this tried-and-true method, Snyder Plastic Surgery is experienced in modernized facelift approaches:
MACS Lift
The MACS (Minimal Access Cranial Suspension) lift is a less invasive facelift technique that focuses on lifting the lower two-thirds of the face. It involves smaller incisions and shorter recovery times while effectively addressing sagging skin, jowls, and nasolabial folds. The MACS lift provides natural and long-lasting results by repositioning the underlying tissues and removing excess skin.
Mini Facelift
The mini facelift is ideal for patients with mild to moderate signs of aging who seek subtle improvements. This procedure involves smaller incisions and less tissue manipulation compared to a full facelift. It primarily targets sagging skin in the lower face and jawline, offering a quicker recovery and a refreshed appearance without the extensive downtime associated with a traditional facelift.

Surgical Technique
Each facelift procedure is customized to address specific concerns and achieve a harmonious, rejuvenated look:
- Incision Placement: Incisions are strategically placed along the skin’s natural creases, typically around the ears and hairline; incisions may differ for a MACS lift or mini facelift.
- Tissue Repositioning: Dr. Snyder carefully lifts and repositions the underlying facial tissues, tightening deep layers of the face and neck to enhance structural support.
- Skin Redraping: Excess skin is meticulously trimmed, and the remaining skin is redraped smoothly over the newly repositioned tissues to smooth and firm facial features.
- Suture Technique: Incisions are carefully closed and hidden to ensure proper healing and fading.
Facelift Step-by-Step
Before
Before a facelift, Dr. Snyder conducts a comprehensive evaluation to determine candidacy and accurately develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to each patient’s unique anatomy and desired outcomes. To prepare for surgery, patients receive detailed pre-operative instructions, including guidelines for medication, smoking cessation, and lifestyle modifications.
During
On the day of surgery, anesthesia is administered to ensure comfort throughout the surgery, and Dr. Snyder begins by making carefully planned incisions in discreet locations. Depending on the chosen technique (MACS lift, mini facelift, or traditional facelift), Dr. Snyder lifts and repositions the underlying tissues, trims excess skin, and redrapes the skin over the newly contoured facial structure.
After
Following the facelift procedure, post-operative instructions are provided to promote optimal healing and minimize discomfort. Keeping the head elevated and avoiding strenuous activities for the first few weeks is essential to minimize swelling and support healing. Most patients are able to return to their normal routines within two to three weeks, although it may take several months for the final results to emerge as residual swelling dissipates fully. Patients are encouraged to maintain a healthy lifestyle and skincare routine to preserve their rejuvenated appearance.
