New Facelift Techniques for Women
If you've ever gotten a facelift or know someone that has gotten one, you'll notice the obvious scarring that incision can leave behind. A new facelift technique that places the surgical incision in the temple area or a sideburn may offer patients more options for concealing scars and styling their hair.

A recent report by the journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, describes a new facelift technique for manipulating the growth of hair follicles at the location of the temples. This new facelife technique allows hair to grow over and cover the actual location of the facelift incision, hence, hiding any scarring. Facelifts are one of the most common types of cosmetic plastic surgery. The facelift is designed to erase wrinkles and other signs of aging from the face. A facelift procedure will pull the skin back and remove excess skin, allowing a firmer, more youthful complexion.
During a traditional facelift, also called a rhytidectomy, a plastic surgeon makes surgical incisions behind or above the ear, near the hairline. During recent studies, researchers took hairline strips from the temples of 16 fresh cadavers and studied the hair follicles for the direction and angle of hair growth. They found that by making a surgical incision at a certain angle (30 to 45 degrees) into the skin, this allowed the hair to grow through the actual scar and reduce visibility of the scar completely. Researchers also noted that women can wear their hair pulled back and men can grow sideburns without feeling self-conscious about showing a scar or lack of hair growth. This would eliminate any obvious signs that they had a facelife procedure done.
Predictions are that demand for surgical procedures that produce better results without obvious signs of having had a facelift are going to continue to increase. Although, new laser treatments and injectable wrinkle fillers such as Botox may have enticed many that are 45 and older potential facelift patients to delay having facelift surgery. The botox and wrinkle filler injectables are less expensive and carry fewer risks than plastic surgery does. It has been suggested, though, as we get older our brow lines, jowls and wrinkles can become too deep for botox or wrinkle fillers to smooth out. When facial aging is to the point that an injectable can not achieve the desired result, cosmetic surgery through facelift is the only option. Before deciding on a facelift, be sure to talk with a board-certified plastic surgeon or a board-certified facial plastic surgeon.
