Many neck lift patient photos show a horizontal incision through the "sideburn," down the front of the ear, behind the ear and along the hairline behind the ear. Another approach skips the "sideburn" incision, goes down the front of the ear and finishes with a horizontal incision from the back of the ear with staples into the hairline. Can you please explain why the differences in incisions, and if the lack of sideburn incision will shorten the length of outcome?
Answer: Design of facelift incisions Incisions for a facelift require three primary considerations. Adequate access to the supportive tissue of the face and/or neck to accomplish the patient's goals, proper removal and redraping of skin after tissue repositioning without pleats or puckers, and a location resulting in minimal visibility of the incision. In my practice, each facelift patient is considered unique and the particular procedure performed designed for them. Incisions may vary accordingly but the following principles apply: Incisions around the ear should be in a naturally occurring crease and preferably behind the tragus in women. Incisions along or within the hairline are designed so that hair grows back through them. Incisions are long enough to remove excess skin without tension or pleats but are not extended beyond what is necessary. Hope that helps.

Answer: What is the difference in incisions between a lower facelift, mini lift, and neck lift? There are different options for placement of the incisions on each of the 3 surgical procedures mentioned, so a full and thorough examination is required to make a determination about which procedure is to be performed, and then placement of the incisions for that specific procedure. In addition, the placement for incisions on a man versus a woman is different for a lower facelift procedure. For many examples of face lifts and neck lifts, please see the link and the video below

Answer: What is the difference in incisions between lower face lift, mini lift and/or neck lift? Each patient might need different incisions for each individual's aging issues. Also each surgeon has their own preferences. There is no correct answer.

Answer: What is the difference in incisions between lower face lift, mini lift and/or neck lift? Variations in facelift incisions are basically surgeon's choice and are what the surgeon is comfortable with an most likely was trained to do. I prefer an incision that goes behind the tragus which makes the facelift incision very difficult to see. However it takes more time which is why many do not use it.Neck lift always requires an incision under the chin in addition to the standard facelift incision. To learn more please repeat below:

Answer: Different facelift and incisions The difference between facelift, Mini lift, lower facelift, and necklift are real but subtle. First, the level of tissue tightening can vary: facelift or lower facelift can involve deep plane dissections, resulting in a stronger and more vertical pull. In order to do that, however, the incision must go above the ear into the sideburn or temple and often behind the ear along the hairline. This is needed to crest the space to do the deeper work. Necklift will involve incisions behind the ear and platysma lifting (a more lateral vector) while a mini facelift incision will be around the ear only and typically involve SMAS tightening for the deeper lift. Currently, non-invasive treatments like facetite or fractora can be use differently as alternatives to a mini lift.
