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?

Answer: Raised Sideburns After Facelift
I use incisions that follow the horizontal hairline (sideburn hairline) so that I am not removing any hair and not changing the hairline. If the incisions are placed properly in front of the ear and behind the ear, the hairline will not be changed at all. If a patient has had surgery that raised the hairline, then hair transplants can be done to correct this.

Answer: Facelift Incision to Avoid Raised Sideburns
Use of the sideburn-sparing incision, where essentially a horizontal incision is made just along the bottom edge of the sideburn, is able to save the sideburns. This is my preferred technique, because of its significant advantage.
