Skin texture is is very important along with the sagging of skin. Please also refer to our information on chemical peels, laser surgery, etc. Depending upon the extent of the surgery, scars will be present in the scalp, in front of and behind the ears, and on the neck. These will be outlined for you. Face lift surgery has developed so that scars are usually hidden or almost so.
Most people heal very well with scars that fade and blend in over time.
There has been a rare exception in my experience. While hair is not routinely shaved for this procedure, there is the possibility that if excess scalp tissue is removed, some hair may also be removed. The Doctor will discuss this with you. There have been cases of localized hair loss, which has not to date been permanent. You must be aware that your hairline can be different after surgery, and your hairstyle may have to be changed to accomodate this.
