I see a lot of facelift photos with the scar in front of the ear and some with the scar behind the ear.
Answer: Proper placement of facelift scars Scars from a full facelift are both in front and behind the ear, connecting around the earlobe. When placed properly they become very inconspicuous.

Answer: Incisions for a facelift: What you need to know Thank you for your question. While one goal of plastic surgery is to minimize visible scarring after the procedure, the surgeon also has to gain sufficient access to the treatment area to make the necessary corrections with the most natural result. In the case of a facelift, incisions in front of the ear are often necessary to allow for this access. I always place incisions carefully within the natural creases of skin whenever possible and use special suturing techniques to keep any visible signs of the incision to a minimum. In most cases, the scars fade almost completely over time. Always work with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon who has the skill to achieve the best possible results regardless of incision placement.

Answer: Answer: Why would a scar be done in front of the ear when it can be hidden behind the ear? This depends on what area of the face needs lifting. f it is primarily the neck, the incision can be made behind the ear. If the jowls and midface need lifting, the incision would be made in front of the ear.

Answer: Incision locations All facelifts need to remove some skin from in front of the ear (as opposed to behind the ear, under the ear). I'm not sure if you are referring to incisions placed behind the tragus (by the ear canal) as opposed to in front of the ear on the cheek. These may be surgeon dependent, or dependent on the patient's anatomy. Also, incisions are placed in different locations so as not to move the sideburns back in men especially. Either way, well done incisions/ closures should yield cosmetically acceptable scars which are well worth the results of the facelift.

Answer: Opening the Front of the Face throught the front of the ear It all comes down to vector and what you are trying to do. In essence a Facelift will lift the lower jawline, cheek and in particular jowl area (just lateral to the lips which inckudes the marionette lines). The only way to lift the anagtomy in thhis area is to approach it from above and the side and subsequently lift it. The physics of this vector means you must place an incision in front of the ear.An incision behind the ear only allows access to the lateral neck and lower jawline and none of the jowl.
