August 24, 2009
Asked By:Researcher7 in Michigan

A doctor mentioned a short scar facelift. Please describe this procedure and how is it different from a traditional facelift? Also, is it true that in a traditional facelift, they actually lift the skin and re-drape it after stapling underlying tissue? Is it true that they have to put screws in the skull as well? Please explain this procedure.
