2011-02-24

PHOENIX, AZ, February 24, 2011 (Press-News.org) What is a short scar facelift?

A short scar facelift is performed to provide a more refreshed appearance in the mid-facial region. Your skin, tissues, and muscles in the area are tightened and repositioned as part of the procedure. The short scar facelift uses a much smaller incision than a traditional facelift. Additionally, the incision will not go behind the ear, resulting in a more discrete scar. Another major difference between a traditional facelift and the short scar facelift is that your skin is not separated from the muscle and tissue in the region during a short scar facelift. As a result, it is a much less invasive procedure.

What are the advantages of a short scar facelift?

The primary advantage of a short scar facelift is that you will have less scarring behind the ear. Many patients find the behind-ear scarring associated with traditional facelifts to be highly undesirable for several reasons:

- They are very visible, especially when your hair is worn in a pony tail
- Scars behind the ear have a tendency to widen and thicken, resulting in a permanent change in the hairline

Another important advantage of the short scar facelift is a less extensive procedure. Since your skin is not separated from the underlying muscle and tissue, your time on the operating table will be greatly reduced, and you should expect a full recovery in one to three weeks.

Where are the incisions located for the short scar facelift?

The incisions will be made along the hairline and in front of the ear. By eliminating the incision behind the ear that is commonly made during a traditional facelift, your scarring will be much less visible.

What are the risks associated with a short scar facelift?

The short scar facelift is a very safe procedure. Complications are very rare and when they occur, they are generally very minor. However, you will still experience many of the risks associated with any surgical procedure. As a result, it is important to work with a highly skilled plastic surgeon in order to reduce the risk of complications.

Short scar facelift risks include:

- Hematoma
- Infection
- Injury to facial nerves
- Anesthesia complications

What type of anesthesia will be used with my short scar facelift procedure?

Your procedure will be performed using local anesthesia. This eliminates many of the complications associated with general anesthesia. Furthermore, you will enjoy a shorter recovery period and a reduced risk of bleeding.
