Facial Rejuvenation

As many of you know, a traditional facelift surgery involves an incision that starts from the side of the head (temporal area) going either in front or behind the ear then around the earlobe and off into the posterior hairline. Traditional browlift involves an incision from one ear to the other across the top of the head and a strip of scalp is removed to elevate the brow. In a traditional facelift, the direction of pull is lateral (to the side, toward the ear).

Although many beautiful results can be achieved when these techniques are performed meticulously by a skilled Plastic Surgeon, many of you are still experts at picking out who has had work done.

Stigmata of Post-Facelift look

  • Unnatural looking tragus (the little cartilage in front of the ear) or poor scaring in this area
  • Raised side burns or forehead hairline
  • Step-off of the hairline in the posterior neck
  • The 'lateral sweep" and tightness around the mouth
