Facelift Incisions - Concerned About Raised Sideburns?

May 30, 2013
Asked By:citroen2cv in Santa Rosa, CA

Hello Doctors, I do not want raised sideburns after my facelift. I understand a "double-S" incision along the hairline is performed by some doctors to avoid lifting the sideburns. But, scarring is very noticeable. What is the best procedure in your opinion? If sideburns must be raised, can a hair transplant be performed during the facelift procedure?
