I would agree with most of the posters here.  Facelifts do create permanent scars which are often visible.  The important thing is that the surgeon places these scars in areas which are well-hidden, and so even if they do become a bit thick (which can be unpredictable in a very small percentage of cases) they are still well-hidden and usually not visible.  It's extremely rare for most facelift patients to complain about a visible scar.  I had one male patient who said his scars were visible, but the only one who noticed was his personal assistant who was female and knew what to look for!  Beware procedures advertised as lunchtime or one hour facelifts, because usually those scars are not as well-hidden.
