Face Lift, Mini Lift Bradenton - Minimal Scarring

So, oftentimes during consultations, I usually get the question of, "Doctor, if I have the Smart Lift done, where am I going have my scars?" And I really take great pride in telling people this, because I know, and I'm very confident that I can give them very, very esthetic scars. I take great pride in that aspect of facial cosmetic surgery and in the Smart Lift itself. First of all, there's a small hidden scar that's just underneath our chin. After that, there're also some hidden scars around our ears. These are in well-hidden places. It starts out in the sideburn, and I create the scar in such a fashion that, after about a month, hair from our sideburns actually grows through the scar itself, which inevitably becomes invisible. Then we continue around certain folds of the ear creases, and we're able to keep it such and contour these scars so that they're very, very well hidden. Then we continue around the ear in the ear lobe, and it stops just behind the ear lobe. Now, by doing that, by stopping there, I realized that in the conventional face lift, that scar would continue up to a certain point behind the ear and then down into the hair line. And what I've realized is that I could avoid all of that surgery behind that part of the ear and avoid all the potential problems of scarring, of swelling, of increased and prolonged post-operative problems. But the biggest thing that it avoids is the potential for hair loss. People really hate that. And with the Smart Lift, I've avoided that whole area, and that really is one of the things that people love about this procedure is that they don't have to worry about having hair loss behind their ear or, if they wear their hair up - a lot of my patients like to wear their hair up. They're very active. They want to know . . .
