Question:
I’m interested in getting a face lift. I understand that the scar can go both in front of and behind the ear. I tend to wear my hair up and am concerned that I won’t be able to after the surgery as the scar will be very noticeable. Is it possible for women to wear their hair off of their face as in a ponytail after a face lift?
Answer:
The incisions are broken up and hidden in such a way by most surgeons that this is usually not an issue. My patients wear their hair up, but usually not for a year or so.
