Is It Possible To Do A Facelift Without Having Scar in Front of the Hairline?

 

It is possible to have a facelift without incisions in front of the ears - however the results can have less of an impact in the jawline and jowl region.  I perform a retrotragal (inside the ear) incision that allows for great results while creating a seemingly undetectable scar within a few weeks.  This incision works for all skin types, regardless of ethnic background.

There are some midfacelift procedures that do not involve making an incision in front of the ear, however, these procedures rarely provide enough improvement, and more importantly, when performing properly, the more traditional facelift procedures can have incisions that are truly undetectable in as soon as 4 weeks.

Skin type does matter to some degree when considering a facelift. Incisions can be modified to minimize the resultant scar but there has to be some incision and no surgeon can guarantee absolute perfect healing. Certainly during the early healing stages pulling your hair up and back may be problematic. I think you need to interview surgeons and see their representative results but understand all procedures carry some risk.
