Facelift
A facelift commonly involves making small incisions just inside the hairline, following the contour in front of the ear, and continuing under the earlobe to the backside of the ear and to the lower scalp. The underlying tissue is repositioned, excess fat is removed, the skin is repositioned, and any excess skin is removed. If the neckline requires attention, an additional incision is made under the chin and the same procedure is again followed. Fine stitches are used to close the incisions and to reduce any chance of scarring.
