Hi I am considering getting my ears pinned back and a lower face/ neck lift. In terms of scar management is it best to have these procedures done separatly or together. If they should be done separately, which operation should come first, in terms of optimal scar management and ease of access to the area?

Answer: Best To Separate It would be best to separate the procedures. Although a Face/lower neck lift is done as sterile procedure as is the ear procedure. However there is always some contamination with the lift because we are working in the hairline. Infections rarely occur with facial procedures because of the rich blood supply. Ear surgery or Otoplasty involves working with cartilage with a poor blood supply subjecting it to poor healing and greater chance of infection, therefore it would be best to separate the two.

Answer: Otoplasty and facelift combination It is best to perform both procedures together, since the otoplasty procedure can be performed through the very same incision as a facelift.
