I have very short hair, I can not let it grow and do not want a visible scar. I have heard that this is possible with selective doctors and its named "scar-less neck lift.

Answer: Scar-less neck lift... Hi lizyaffa,You may be referring to FaceTite®, which, through very tiny incisions (slightly larger than needle pokes), a device is used to melt fat and tighten neck and jawline skin and soft tissue, using heat created by radiofrequency. This is appropriate in some patients, typically in their 40s and early 50s, who have good neck skin elasticity and minimal jowling.However, a lot of patients would benefit, rather, from a lower face and/or necklift. If only a necklift, most of the incision can be hidden behind the ear. If the lower face is to be included, then incision necessarily has to extend into the natural creases in the front of the ear, but these hide nicely if done meticulously.I suggest you go for an in-person evaluation with a doctor who performs FaceTite® and lower face/neck lifts to see if you're a candidate for one or the other.Best wishes,Dr. Jay

Answer: Neck lift Hello lizyaffa!Thank you for your question and your images. There options for the neck that involve minimal scarring, although there is not true "scar-less" procedure. Options may include contouring the neck with laser skin tightening, or tightening the muscle of the neck through an incision under the chin. I would recommend an in person consultation with a facial specialist. I hope this has been helpful.All my best!Dr. Elizabeth"The information above has been provided without an in person consultation and should not be construed as medical advice."
