Why does the 'mini-facelift' need to be done before in front of the ear??? Doesn't this leave a scar or even a chance of a scar??? I read that there are some doctors that cut behind the ear... any comments from surgeons?
Answer: Scar from mini lift All facelift techniques depend on the ability to remove unwanted excess skin. To do this the skin is excised and closed. This is what leaves the scar. The inscisisons for a minilift run in front of and behind the ear. They are hidden in natural folds to make them inconspicuous and as a result are not generally noticeable once healed

CONTACT NOW Answer: Mini Facelift & Mini neck lift -- FaceTite RF for internal skin tightening + Neck Liposuction for definition/contouring FaceTite can internally tighten the skin in the lower face and neck. After all the skin has been heated and contracted, we shape the neck with liposuction to give definition and remove stubborn pockets of fat. In one quick treatment, we can tighten skin, remove fat, and contour the lower face, jawline, and jowls with only a weekend of downtime. Keep in mind that combination approaches will give you a more significant improvement as opposed to a single procedure. I recommend getting a consultation with a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist and facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: All lifts leave scars though most are barely noticeable The procedure to which you are referring involves incisions in front of the ear and down to the ear lobe. All incisions leave scars. Whether it is called a MACS lift, a mini-lift, a weekend lift or J lift does not matter. The incisions are precisely placed in natural skin folds and behind the ear cartilage (tragus) so as to minimize visibility. This procedure is great for people looking to elinimate jowls and improve the jawline. As long as minimal tension is placed on the skin then your scarring should be minimal. If abundant excess skin and fat exist in the neck then this most often necessitates an incision that travels behind your ear and into your hairline. A consultation with a board certified surgeon will help you decide which procedure is best for you!

Answer: Mini facelift scar All facelifts require incision on front and behind the ear. The extend of these incisions vary according to the amount of skin laxity. A well performed facelift should leave minimal scar. Mini facelift has a shorter incision behind the ears.

Answer: All facelifts, mini, maxi or name-brand require incisons in front of the ear, but these can be barely visible In order to do a facelift, the skin needs to be lifted up then the muscle below, called the SMAS is tightened. The extent of skin elevation and muscle manipulation is the difference between a mini and a more invasive facelift such as a Deep Plane facelift. In order to lift the skin and face, all require an incision in front of the ear. We usually go behind the rectangular cartilage in front of the ear canal called the tragus. What is variable is if the incision goes up the back of the ear and if it goes into the hairline above and behind the ear.
