I have been seriously considering facelift . I want a vertical/diagonal cheek lift. I feel like pulling my cheeks up and slightly to the side will make my undereye look better and flatten out area around mouth. I have seen several surgeons and they recommend traditional incision . I would be MORTIFIED to have visible facelift scars at the age of 38! Are there any alternatives? Endoscopic lift or scar in temporal /hairy area? Would temporal incision in the hairline allow to lift lower cheeks?

Answer: Could a facelift be done without a potencially visible preauricular scar? A mid-facelift can be done through the lower eyelid. This procedure is most effective in improving the nasolabial folds and the corner of the mouth as you demonstrate in your picture. The other option is a subperiosteal lift through the temple incision. Having said that, most of my facelift incisions in front of the ears heal with no visible scarring as you could see, in my pictures. Therefore scaring depends on the technique used and there are ways to improve that scar. See my Instagram page by clicking the link below and notice the lack of scaring in front of the ears.

Answer: Scars after facelift Dear phenomenal, Thanks for the question. There are many options you may want to think about if you are worried about scarring. Some of those options include morpheus 8, fillers, threads, renuvion. All facelifts will leave the patient with a scar. How you heal is dependant on your body as well as surgical technique. With that said, there are techniques and treatments to make the scars almost invisible, but keep in mind every patient heals differently. I would suggest a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon for further information and recommendations.

Answer: Lift Hello, Thank you for your question. Based on your photos, I would suggest a small incision in the temporal hair in order to lift the cheek. This can be done wide awake using local anesthesia and oral medications to help you relax. Patients do incredibly well with this and it avoids the side effects of general anesthesia. Mark G.
