I've spoken to several surgeons about a facelift and they're divided on where the incisions for a male would be. Specifically hidden on the tragus, or in front of the ear. I understand the pros and cons of each, but err towards hiding the incision on the tragus to minimize visbility. My question is, since the beard hair will be pulled back on the tragus, why not just remove the hair afterward for a natural hairless area in front of the ear? Why risk a scar in front of the ear?

Answer: Male facelift incision Hello Original3835, this is one of the difficult decisions regarding male facelift, because neither option is perfect. You seem to have a good understanding of the trade-offs. Your logic is not incorrect. You can get laser hair removal or electrolysis hair removal over the tragus to make for a more natural hairline. This implies additional cost/time and some discomfort. Effectiveness of laser hair removal is somewhat dependent on your skin/hair pigmentation (works better for darker hair) and also often requires maintenance treatments to keep hair from growing back. Electrolysis has been more effective in my experience, especially in lighter haired individuals.
