Introduction
In recent years there has been a very strong trend toward less invasive facial rejuvenation. Patients want a cosmetic improvement but do not want to suffer prolonged recovery or a high risk of complication. Because of this, purse-string, suspension-based facelifts have gained great popularity.
However, many surgeons have voiced skepticism over the long-term effectiveness of these procedures. The three primary lifts that have been published in peer-reviewed journals are the S-lift (see figure 1), the MACS lift (see figure 2), and the QuickLift (see figure 3). All three techniques use the concept of suspending sagging facial features with strong, permanent purse-string sutures.
