Face Lift : Noticeable scarring?
I had a facelift about a year ago. The scars in the front of my ear are barely noticeable - just thin lines - and I usually scar badly. The scars behind my ears are rougher but they are hidden by my ear and are very close to both my ear and my hairline. I frequently wear my hair up and no one has commented on my scars. I really have no problem discussing the plastics work that I have had with friends, so I don't believe they are not bringing it up because they feel that they would embarrass me.
He did my face work and I love it. I had lost 271 lbs at that time so my face alone took 8 hours. He does faces on separate days. My under chin scar isn't noticeable and behind the ears is covered by my hair. In front of ears and eyelids are invisible.

Revised to the Sleeve after losing 271 lbs with the LapBand.
My scar from my neck lift is there, but only when I lift my head enough for someone to see it. The other scars are behind my ears near the top and bottom and in my hairline. They are are little rougher, but only when I point them out to people. I also had both upper and lower lids, and my lower lids look like I've added a little eyeliner. I love my new face, I was almost 59 when I had it done.

I didn't have my facelift with Dr. Sauceda, but the scars are truly unnoticeable. In front of the ears, I can't even see them anymore. Behind the ears is visible is I go looking, but not much. The scar on the chin took a little longer to disappear, but it has. My doc said the face is the best healer, followed by the breasts, then the lower body, with the arms and legs being most apparent.
