I employ the short scarwith the use of the Minimal Access Cranial Suspension (MACS) lift technique;wherein, the direction of the pull on the SMAS is vertically upwards. Thistechnique also gives some volume to the face. In some patients, replacement ofthe volume of the face through Autologous Fat Gra
