Short-scar facelift and MACS lift

A short-scar facelift uses a shorter incision, usually in front of the ear only, and less skin undermining than a full facelift, for a less visible scar and a faster recovery. It works best on the jowls and cheeks of people with modest neck laxity; the best-known version, the MACS lift, holds the face up with purse-string sutures anchored at the temple.
