In women the incision is usually placed inside the ear rather than in front of it. This helps to make it less noticeable. In men the incision is almost always placed in front of the ear so that hair bearing skin is not brought inside the ear making it difficult to shave. Behind the ear some surgeons continue the incision straight backward into the scalp, but many surgeons place the incision along the hairline. This is the most common method in men.
All surgery requires a scar, and a facelift is no exception.
The scar will be in the same place as the incision. Correction of loose areas in the central parts of the face are less possible than those toward the side. As a general rule the farther the area to be corrected is from the incision, the less the improvement. Request more information about cosmetic surgery home .
