Deep plane/SMAS facelift. What is the difference in technique with incisions in front of vs behind the ears?

I am 65 years old, 5'6", 150 lbs., in good health. I have had no previous plastic surgeries. I have used tretinoin for about 5 years and my skin is in good condition I believe. I am wondering what is the difference in technique if the facelift is performed with the incisions in front of ears versus incisions in front and/or behind the ears. Is the skin and muscle being pulled up and cut away in both of these techniques? I hope this layman's question makes sense! Thank you.
