Question: I want to have a facelift to address slight jowls and perhaps double chin but I hate scars. It seems that most facelifts will leave obvious scary scars around the ears. Is there a way to solve my problems with very small scars?

Answer: The best, long-lasting result of a lift occurs when a full release of the face/neck soft tissue is performed to remove the "memory" of the soft tissue. With incisional scars, it's all about location. By placing incisions in natural creases, beveling them at hairlines (to allow hair to camouflage them), and placing no tension on the skin closure,  no one will see your incisions even when you wear your hair up!
