I have a lower facelift planned with incisions in front, behind the ear, and right under the side burn. Which incisions/scars tend to be most obvious to the eye of a well trained surgeon? I know most are well hidden but as surgeons which ones can you usually spot? Thanks!

Answer: Most Noticeable Facelift Incisions Facelift incisions should be inconspicuous. They tend to be more noticeable when too much tension is placed on the skin, leading to wider scars and/or pixie ears. Lastly, pre-auricular scars have a tendency to migrate forward and be more noticeable, so I place my incisions in a retro-tragal fashion (on the edge of the tragus).

Answer: Facelift scars Scars that suggest a poorly executed facelift are most often those that result from closing the skin under tension, treating the operation like a skin tightening procedure. These scars migrate away from the ear, tend to be wide, and are easily seen at conversational distance.
