Facelift for a Bald Person

There are special considerations when performing a facelift on a bald
patient. Since there is no hair to hide some incisions, the placement of
incisions is even more important. The incisions need to be kept around the ear
only, with possible additional incision under the chin. In some patients
ancillary procedures, such as mid-facelift through lower eyelid and/or fat
grafting is combined for optimum result. Seek out an experienced and skilled
surgeon to achieve significant and yet natural results.

Dear Facelift patient,
A bald person can have a facelift and I have done many of them in my practice. You must be sure that your surgeon is an experienced facelift surgeon. To keep the chances of scaring to minimal, incisions must be placed precisely and there should be minimal tension on the flap. Three months after the procedure, some individuals may require slight laser resurfacing on the incision lines to make them less obvious. Good Luck
