Any surgical procedure can leave incision lines, and a facelift is no exception. At Criswell & Criswell Plastic Surgery in Charlotte, NC we strategically place incisions to help conceal surgical scarring. In facelift surgery, incisions are placed in the natural lines and curves of the scalp and face, or following the natural beard line in men to be camouflaged by the sideburns, to carefully disguise surgical incision lines.
