MACS Lift in Mumbai

Advanced Facial Rejuvenation with Precision by Dr. Parag Telang

In a fast-paced city like Mumbai, where professional presence, social confidence, and self-image often go hand in hand, facial ageing can feel more prominent than it should. Early sagging, jowls, loss of jawline definition, and mid-face descent are common concerns among men and women who are otherwise fit and active. This is where the Minimal Access Cranial Suspension (MACS) lift has transformed modern facial rejuvenation.

Leading the way in this highly complex technique in Mumbai, India, is Dr. Parag Telang, a fully qualified cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgeon, known for his natural, anatomically correct results. The MACS facelift represents a highly refined alternative to the more conventional facelift procedure.

What is MACS Lift?

A MACS lift, also known as a Minimal Access Craniofacial/Cranial Surgery lift, is a minimally invasive facelift surgery meant for those experiencing early to moderate jowling. Unlike traditional facelifts, MACS lift involves shorter incisions and vertical suspension sutures to lift the deeper tissues.

The effect is a face which appears rested, lifted, and refreshed, but not too tight or surgically altered.

How Is a MACS Lift Different from Other Lifting Methods?

A MACS lift is unique because of the conservative approach that is adopted.

It employs short cuts, often concealed around the hairline.
Emphasis on vertical lifting rather than back pulling.
Naturally preserves facial expressions.
Involves less tissue trauma.
Shorter recovery period than traditional facelifts.

Although facial lifts are preferable in cases of advanced aging, the MACS lift would be more suited for those wishing for a delicate and elegant facial rejuvenation with less disruption of one's everyday life.

Types of MACS Lift

Depending on facial structure and ageing pattern, different variations may be used:

Mini MACS Lift – For early signs of sagging, focused on the jawline
Extended MACS Lift – Addresses mid-face descent and jowls
MACS Lift with Neck Refinement – Combines facial lifting with mild neck tightening

Dr. Parag Telang customizes the technique based on individual anatomy rather than following a fixed template.
