Will I Still Be Able to Wear my Hair Up After Facelift Procedures?

You certainly should be able to wear your hair up off your shoulders two to three months after the procedure once the incisions have healed. It all depends on where the incisions are placed, execution of the incision and the operation itself. Wide scars are caused from too much tension placed on the skin and leaving sutures in too long causes railroad track scars. For your facelift it is important that you not have the skin stretched too much and that the sutures are removed at day #4 after the procedure so as not to incur railroad track scars. A short scar versus long scar is irrelevant to whether or not you can pull your hair up. It is only relevant to how much excess skin has shifted backwards with the procedure. You will need a long incision if you have lots of extra skin.

Express your desire to your surgeon.  There are different ways to handle the scars behind the ears and it should be possible to wear your hair up after surgery.  It might not be a tight pony tail but one that is a little bit looser.
