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: 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.
