title: [Description and critical analysis of the "Tonnard and Verpaele's" technique for malar suspension].
abstract: The MACS-lift technique, from Tonnard and Verpaele, is a simple procedure for mediofacial aging. They use three purse-string sutures. The anchor points are within the deep temporal fascia. Sagging facial soft tissues are suspended with this loop. This procedure needs only local anesthesia. The postoperative following is simple. The results are natural and interesting. We analyse this technique and its efficiency in the medial part of the face.
