You Are Concerned about Facelift Scarring?

Facelift is an effective procedure to improve the appearance of facial wrinkles. It can be said that there are almost no procedures that are more effective in removing facial wrinkles than facelift.

However, many patients are worried about scarring after surgery because facelift involves making long incisions. Is there a possibility of serious scarring after a facelift? 

In facelift, long incisions are made in the hairline starting at the temples, continuing down and around the front of the ears, and ending behind the ears. 

For a while after the surgery, you can expect the parts above and behind your ears to be red. Even so, the scars will fade and turn into white lines and become barely noticeable after about 6 months. 

Scars from facelift are usually not too visible when looking from the front and can be hidden within the hairline, so you can worry less about scars compared to other surgeries. One thing you should keep in mind is that you need to follow post-operative instructions very carefully and apply scar ointment regularly. Doing so, you can expect better results.
