Facelift incision

Having practiced Plastic Surgery since 1980, I have come to the conclusion that the small details and finesse in performing facelift surgery are extremely important.  Keeping this in mind, I pay special attention to the details of placement and methods of suturing your facelift incision.  This will permit you the option of wearing your hair up after a facelift if you please to, without fear of others noticing the hairline irregularities that occur with standard facelift techniques.  Also, the incision in front of your ear will lack visibility since it will be placed behind the tragus of the ear eliminating any scar continuity in the visible area in front of your ear.

To make this more clear, and a picture is worth a thousand words, please look at some of the close-up photos taken of facelift incisions of a few of my patients available on the right.  Click on the thumbnail to get a view of how well hidden facelift incisions can be!  I think that you'll be impressed.
