For male mini face lifts how are sideburns kept natural as skin is tightened towards ears?

Depending on the amount of skin to be removed, the incision can be extended above the ear or around the sideburn to the temporal hairline.  Meticulous closure of the incision is needed to obtain the least noticeable scar. 

The incision is normally place like mine inside the ear so no scar is seen in front of the year while maintaining the length of the sideburn. See a very experienced surgeon with this technique for the best results.  For massive weight loss where the  sideburn would be moved back too far then the incision is made in front of the ear.
