What is a MACS Facelift in Dallas?
Also known as a Rhytidectomy, a facelift is a surgical procedure that helps with a variety of aging symptoms. As you know, the skin on our face naturally falls over time, which can cause both our jawline to sag and wrinkles to deepen. The term “lift” refers to the surgical moving of your skin up to its previous position.
If you’re considering facelift surgery in Dallas area; what’s holding you back?
For patients with busy lifestyles, a full facelift sometimes doesn’t feel like the right solution. When you’re juggling family, a home, and a full-time job, taking a month off for recovery may not be realistic.
On the other hand, dermal fillers are quick and do an excellent job of making your face appear fresher and fuller. However, if you’re looking for a longer-term solution to fight the never-ending pull of gravity on your skin, a non-surgical procedure may not be the best option and it is time to consider a MACS facelift.

Who Is a Good Candidate for a Facelift?
The ideal patients for the MACS facelift tend to be people experiencing a mild to moderate level of the following conditions:
- Jowls or drooping flesh at the bottom either cheek
- The deepening of diagonal lines running from the nose to either corner of the mouth known as nasolabial folds
- Reduced definition of the chin and jawline
- Reduced elasticity of the facial skin
Patients whose busy lifestyle prohibits a lot of downtime tend to prefer this procedure. They may have full-time jobs or active families that make the four to six-week recovery of traditional facelift impossible. And, as mentioned, the MACS lift is ideal for anyone who doesn’t want to go under general anesthesia or pay the higher cost of a full facelift.
What are the Benefits of an 'Awake' Facelift in North Texas?
Dr. Teotia and the awake MACS procedure offers patients several advantages:
You have a busy life. Dr. Teotia can relate. As a board-certified plastic surgeon and a mother of three, she knows the value of time – hers AND yours. While other physicians may rush their consultations, she gives each patient a full hour to ask questions and understand the options. And while standard facelift surgeries last four to six hours, her procedure takes only two to three hours.
Dr. Teotia conducts the MACS facelift using ProNox anesthesia, which lowers the overall cost of the operation and reduces the risk of complications. Her patients remain calm, awake, and pain-free throughout the procedure.
ProNox anesthesia also allows patients to enjoy the more relaxed, home-like setting of Dr. Teotia’s office. General anesthesia must be administered in a hospital or specialized clinic where patients have a higher chance of infection.
After a MACS facelift, patients can expect to look five to seven years younger.
Because it’s less intensive than a traditional facelift, friends and family will notice you look better without it being obvious that you’ve had a procedure done. Therefore, their focus will be on you, not your surgery.
Unfortunately, some physicians prey on a patient’s need to feel validated. They’ll evaluate you and convince you to make drastic changes based on someone else’s look. Dr. Teotia believes you deserve better than that. You need a partner to help you make the changes YOU want to make and define beauty on YOUR terms – not someone else’s.
What Is the Facelift Timeline & And When Do You See Results?
Since there is no need for anesthesia during a MACS facelift procedure, patients can even take a lunch break in the middle of their treatment! Scroll through one patient’s facelift timeline to see how it’s done:
When you arrive for surgery, we take your vitals, you get dressed into a gown, robe, and slippers, we take pre-operative pictures, and you take your prescribed pain medication. Once you are ready, we go back to the minor OR where Dr. Teotia will mark you for surgery and numb the surgical area.
During the procedure, you can listen to music of your choice. Pro-nox gas is also offered to relieve anxiety. Halfway through we take a break for lunch. A soup of your choice is provided. You may also take additional pain medication during this time. After surgery, you are closely monitored and staff assists you into a compression garment with ice.
