Answer: Scars after facelift Your scars likely resulted from too much tension on the skin. If the scar is mature, it can be revised.

Answer: I have wide white scars under my ears and into my hairline after a face lift in July 2017. Why has this happened? Hello Elluss11,Sorry to hear about your scarring issues. I am not sure if you meant to write 2016 instead of 2017 for the facelift. If you just had your facelift it is important to give things time to heal. If you already have wide scars at three weeks they would likely continue to worsen as the healing continues. The reason you see wide scars is from excess tension. This is more common with skin only lifts as opposed to ones that address the deeper tissue. Whether your "mini lift" involved just the skin or did tighten the deeper tissue may have been a predisposing factor for this. The fact that you have wide scars essentially everywhere would either be from a technical aspect of the surgery or inherent to how you heal. The way to distinguish the two is if you have poor scars elsewhere or only in the areas where this surgery was performed.I'd recommend you follow up with your surgeon to express your concern and possibly get a second opinion from a facial plastic surgeon about what can be done to improve your scars.
