MACS-Lift Facelift in Annandale, VA | Dr. Khalique S. Zahir, MD

Understanding Facial Aging and Rejuvenation

As people age, gravity, sun exposure, and daily life stresses impact facial appearance. Patients often notice sagging neck, jowling, facial lines, and skin laxity. A facelift cannot stop the aging process but can effectively set back the clock by improving visible signs of aging.

Ideal Facelift Candidates

The best facelift candidates have:

• Sagging face and neck
• Skin with remaining elasticity
• Strong, well-defined bone structure
• Age range typically between 40-80 years

Advanced Facelift Techniques

Dr. Zahir specializes in two innovative facelift procedures: the MACS-Lift and Mini-S Lift. These techniques offer minimally invasive options with strategic incision placement and exceptional results.

MACS-Lift (Minimal Access Cranial Suspension-Lift)

The MACS-Lift offers unique advantages, including limited incisions in front of the ear and hairline. This technique elevates soft tissue from the upper neck, jowls, and cheeks, anchoring them to deep temple structures for long-lasting results.

Mini-S Lift (Short Scar Facelift)

The Mini-S Lift is a minimally invasive procedure with an incision half the length of a traditional facelift. It allows patients to achieve significant facial rejuvenation with shorter recovery times, making it ideal for those with limited downtime.

Surgical Procedure Overview

Dr. Zahir performs facelifts in a certified outpatient surgical facility under anesthesia. The procedure involves separating skin from underlying tissues, tightening muscular systems, removing excess skin, and strategic suturing.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients typically experience minimal pain and can return to work or social situations within 7-10 days. Dr. Zahir's specialized treatment protocol minimizes bruising and swelling, ensuring a smoother recovery process.

Personalized Facial Rejuvenation

Choosing the right facelift procedure depends on individual facial assessment and aesthetic goals. A comprehensive consultation with Dr. Zahir will determine the most suitable approach for achieving natural, youthful results.
