MACS-lifting. Prices, reviews, ratings
General information
Max-lifting is a surgical procedure that helps to qualitatively tighten the skin in the vertical direction and get rid of even fine wrinkles. The operation is performed under general anesthesia. In some cases, local anesthesia with sedatives is used.
There are the following types of lifting:
- simple or S-MACS;
- extended or X-MACS.
Both options guarantee an effective face and neck lift. The choice of technique depends on the patient's wishes and the surgeon's recommendations. With an extended lift, the skin has greater elasticity and flexibility.
