Can a five-layer face lift with short hair hide scars?

The five-layer face lift procedure has two incisions, in the frontotemporal area and in front of the ear. Many candidates are concerned about postoperative scarring, so today we have compiled an article on the subject to help you have a better understanding of this technique. First, let’s talk about the frontotemporal incision. The frontal-temporal incision itself is designed in the hairline, very hidden, the surgery does not damage the hair follicles, there will be no hair loss after the operation, and it is not easy to find out by yourself, not to mention other people. Many candidates worry that the incision in the frontotemporal hairline will damage the hair follicles and cause hair loss. What are the facts? If the incision is designed to be made at the hairline and the skin incision is made parallel to the hair shaft, the scar will always remain in the front of the hair. In the Five Layer Facelift procedure, the surgical incision is made in the hairline in an oblique direction to the skin plane. The scalpel is placed obliquely to sever the hair shaft so that the hair follicle is preserved. Six to eight weeks after surgery, the hairs underneath grow through the scar tissue and cover the scar nicely forehead, so there is no need to worry about scarring. In fact, the incision in front of the ear, the incision in front of the ear is designed in front of the ear folds, very hidden, fast recovery candidates 10 days basic scabs will fall off, less obvious. Recovery slower candidates about 2 weeks, it is not obvious, completely invisible about 3 months time, almost invisible traces. Finally, we introduce the incision suture. Whether the postoperative marks are obvious or not, the main thing is related to the surgeon’s suturing technique. Like the five-layer facial lift uses a subtraction fine suture, which subtracts layers of tension during the suturing process, releasing skin tension and minimizing incision tension, which will leave only very shallow linear traces after surgery, which are barely visible to the naked eye after healing. Therefore, short-haired candidates for face lift can also be assured of doing it in the long run without worrying about scars.
