Where to position scars for male facelift to avoid beard growth at ear? (photos)

londonmishka
62 year old male considering a facelift. After two consultations I am concerned about the position of beard post surgery. One surgeon places the scars right in the crease at the ear. When I asked about beard growth post surgery he told me one session of laser hair removal would be sufficient. However, it seems that is not true, particularly as my beard has grey hairs. The second surgeon offered two options: right next to the ear and slightly in front of the ear in natural creases of the skin.
