Face lift incisions are carefully planned out prior to the actual procedure in a way that is hidden or minimally visible. In women, the incision is behind the ear extending to the area behind the tragus so that any potential scarring is minimally visible. In men, the facelift incision is placed behind the sideburn in a naturally present crease and extended behind the ear. If there is excess fat or muscle under the chin, a small separate incision may be necessary in the natural crease under the chin.
