What is a “short scar” Facelift?
It is a term that describes any incision and subsequent scar that is shorter than the standard Facelift scar. The standard scar for a Facelift begins in the hair in front of the ear and curves down around the creases of the ear to keep it hidden. It ends either in the scalp or along the hairline of the scalp behind the ear. “Short scar” Facelifts usually stop either at the base of the ear lobe or in the crease behind the ear. This “short scar” approach is useful for patients who have sagging jowls but do not need much tightening in their neck.
