Which is better - incision in the hairline or just below the sideburn for lower facelift?

gigigirl14
I am having a lower facelift next month. With my friends and strangers, I can almost always spot the incision right below the sideburn when the hair is up. It's a faint line but there, like a little line sweeping the hair. What do the expert surgeons say about burying the incision in the hairline or just below in this specific location? Not sure if the sideburn location will be changed with one or the other....
