SHORT SCAR FACE LIFT

Today most patients desire a short healing period, minimal scars and natural results following facial surgery. Depending on the patient’s age, skin quality and amount, short scar techniques are now available. With these techniques, incisions are made at the hair line or behind the temporal hair line and may extend in the contours of the ear. These incisions are essentially invisible once healing has occurred.

The main advantages of these techniques are the minimal scars and face recovery time. Surgery can be performed under local anesthesia. The surgery takes approximately two hours to complete. The bruising and swelling are minimal, allowing the patient to return to work within seven days. Make up is applied at one week and exercise is resumed in two to three weeks.

The results of this surgery are impressive. My patients are thrilled with these procedures. They are amazed at how much younger they appear but lack the stigmata of surgery. Their friends constantly tell them how good they look but are unable to detect that surgery has been performed. This is a procedure that I highly recommend in the patient who has the correct facial anatomy.
