Harrisburg, Pennsylvania Quick Recovery Face Lift
Signs of aging may be especially bothersome when they appear on the face and neck. For many men and women in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, a face lift is an ideal way to address these particularly visible areas. A face lift gives the cheeks, jowls and neck a tighter appearance. In addition, a face lift can soften deeper wrinkles or creases. Dr. Scott Gayner performs the MACS-Lift, a quick recovery alternative to traditional face lifts. As you can see in the table below, the MACS-Lift is as effective as a traditional face lift and offers additional benefits.
| Face lift | MACS-Lift | |
|---|---|---|
| Tightens checks, jowls, and neck; softens deep smile lines | Yes | Yes |
| Minimal swelling, bruising and pain during recovery | No | Yes |
| Outpatient procedure under local anesthesia (patient is awake) | No | Yes |
| Patient can resume normal activities in a few days | No | Yes |
To discuss the benefits of the MACS-Lift procedure, request your cosmetic consultation with Dr. Gayner online or call his office at (717) 728-1700.

The MACS-Lift Procedure
During the MACS-Lift procedure, excess skin is removed and underlying tissue is tightened. A traditional face lift involves a long incision and disturbs a large area of skin. The MACS-Lift uses only a short incision in front of the ear. Because a shorter incision is used, people usually experience only minimal bleeding during the procedure and less bruising or swelling after the procedure.
Not ready for surgery? Instead of a face lift, Pennsylvania plastic surgeon Dr. Gayner may suggest other cosmetic surgery procedures like eyelid surgery in Harrisburg or non-surgical facial procedures such as dermal fillers or BOTOX® Cosmetic.
