Mag 5 Facial Surgery: Look 5 Years Younger in 5 Steps

by Wendy Travis

Are you looking for a way to turn back the clock on your complexion without getting that "operated" look? For the most dramatic transformation in a single surgical procedure, check out Mag-5 facial surgery. The Mag-5 is a relatively new type of face lift that shaves years off the face in a single procedure. Many areas of the face are addressed during the surgery, giving you dramatic results that are seen in as little as three months.

Components of the Mag-5
The Mag-5 facial surgery is broken down into five basic components:

Lateral Emphasis Frontal Lift - smoothes out fine lines and lifts the forehead
Corregator Resection – works on deeper wrinkles of forehead by adjusting muscles in the area
Lower Blepharoplasty – works on the lower eyelid to smooth out fine lines under the eye
Extended Two-Layered Canthopexy – tightens tendon in inner eye for fewer lines at the outer corners of the eyes
Mid-Cheek Lift – lifts cheeks for a more youthful contour

Through these five procedures, the Mag-5 is able to treat the signs of aging that many other cosmetic treatments tend to overlook. The emphasis on eye restructuring is essential to a more youthful appearance, since the effects of aging are commonly seen in this area. While other facelift procedures tend to focus on specific areas of the face, the Mag-5 addresses a host of concerns at one time, for a more dramatic effect overall.

Benefits of the Mag-5
There are many benefits to the Mag-5 facial surgery, including:

A significant reduction of the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes, forehead and cheeks
Fuller, lifted cheeks with a smoother contour
A reduction in the hollow appearance between the eyes and nasal passage
Corners of the mouth are slightly lifted for a younger, brighter complexion

If you are looking for a dramatic way to reverse the signs of aging with these benefits, a consultation with one of the doctors at PlasticSurgeryPortal might be the next logical step.

Candidates for the Mag-5 Facial Surgery
The best candidates for the Mag-5 facial surgery are those who are considering a facelift procedure for dramatic anti-aging benefits. The Mag-5 procedures can also effectively treat some types of birth and developmental concerns. The procedure works best on patients who are in relatively good health, with realistic expectations of what the procedure can do for them. If you are considering a Mag-5, talk to your doctor about the procedure, recovery and results. Study before and after photos from previous patients so you know precisely what to expect from your own procedure.

Recovery and Results
The Mag-5 requires a general anesthesia and a hospital stay. After the surgery, patients can expect to have some bruising, swelling and discomfort, which may last a few weeks. Within three months of the procedure, patients will begin to see dramatic results, and by six months, the results should be fairly complete. In some cases, patients will see an age reversal of 10 to 15 years off of their original appearance.

The Mag-5 is an effective way to transform your appearance, with just a single surgery to prepare for and recover from.
