Surgical skills are the most important

Amir Moradi, MD answers: How can surgeons hide the stitches from a Facelift?

Is there any way that the surgeon can put the stitches from a Facelift inside the ear? You can always tell someone has had a lift from those tell-tale incision scars in front of the ear.

Regardless of whether the incision is behind the tragus ( inside the ear) or in front, if it is closed meticulously and without tension there will be no visible scars.

All being equal the most important factor is the surgeons surgical skills.
