Is it possible to effectively lift the midsection of the face without a scar in front of the ears? If the incision site is hidden in the hairline, does this rule out the possibility of deep plane (if a deep plane lift is the most effective way to reposition the malar region)? Considering a younger patient, who likely doesn’t have excess skin etc.
Answer: Mid face lift The answer is YES, it is possible to mobilize mid-face skin and soft tissue in the deep plane and to reposition these structures upwards without a scar in front of the ears. My approach for this powerful lift is at the lower eyelid margin with a completely hidden scar. Elevated mid-face structures are secured to bone with deeply placed sutures.

Answer: Can the Midface Be Lifted Without Visible Ear Scars? Lifting the midface without a visible scar in front of the ears is possible in select cases, especially for younger patients with good skin quality and minimal laxity. However, if a deep plane facelift is required to effectively reposition the malar (cheek) region, an incision near the front of the ear is typically needed for optimal access and long-lasting results. Incisions can often be placed discreetly and heal very well. Erman AK, Dr. MD, Plastic Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgeon

Answer: Minimal access facelift Thank you for your question. There are degrees of change that can be effected for facial rejuvenation or a refreshed appearance of the facial features in someone younger. You are entirely accurate in saying that skin excess does not occur so early in life. The technique of minimal access facelift, also referred to as a gliding facelift, is applicable in a situation like yours.

Answer: Facelift incisions Most facelifts require an incision in front of the ear. Fortunately those scars heal very well. There have been attempts to avoid that scar but the results are not good at all.
