Brian Novack says his facelift scars become literally invisible (at 60k MINIMUM each I believe him) because he lets incisions heal with some technique that doesn't involve tension. Can anyone give input about how this is possible?

Answer: Facelift Incisions Very hard to detect facelift scars should be average in the hands of a busy Facial Plastic Surgeon. This is partially related to skill relating to incision placement, minimizing wound tension, and partially related to the unique vascularity and wound healing ability of facial skin. A facelift is a procedure that utilizes the layer under the skin, but on top of the facial muscles as the tension bearing layer; the skin should never be used as the tension bearing layer. Results can vary from Surgeon to Surgeon, but easy to conceal incisions should be a general expectation from a busy facelift surgeon.

Answer: Facelift scars I have no doubt that doctor is a good surgeon, but there’s an old saying out there. Everyone puts their pants on one leg at a time. In other words there is no magic way of doing things that only one person has figured out yet has remained a mystery to others, yet many surgeons will try to make you think that. If you ask such a surgeon why they are so expensive they’ll tell you they are worth it. Well I’ve been doing surgery for over thirty years and seen work from many plastic surgeons including high priced ones. Good work ? Sure. Magic? Not so much,

Answer: INVISIBLE FACE LIFT SCARS When performing a Face lift, the key point of a minimally detecatable scar is avoiding tension whit the skin closure. The tension will be in the deep layer tissues (SMAS) so the excess of skin is removed and is closed without tension and using a very detailed closure of the wound. In many patients the scar blends with the contours and texture of the face, so the scar is almost invisible. Very few patients may heal with white (hypopigmented) scars and then the scar may show, others heal with darker (hyperpigmented) scars. So the most important factor in the result of the face lift is the surgeon, who should be precise and artistic, so great results are delivered. The cost will be different from surgeon to surgeon, from city to city, etc.
