Scars After a Deep Plane FaceliftWhen people think about facelift surgery, one of the first questions they ask is: “Will I have scars?”
It’s a very natural concern. Nobody wants a beautiful, youthful face with visible marks giving it away.
Where Are the Scars?
In a deep plane facelift, the incisions are placed very carefully around the ear, hidden in the hairline, and sometimes under the chin. These are areas where the skin naturally folds and shadows fall, so the scars are designed to stay out of sight.
Why They Heal So Well
Unlike older facelift methods that stretched the skin tightly, the deep plane technique lifts the deeper layers of the face. That means the skin isn’t under so much tension when it heals. Less tension = finer, softer scars that fade faster.
What to Expect Over Time
- Right after surgery: the lines can look pink or slightly raised.
- A few months later: they start softening, fading, and blending into the skin.
- After a year: most people find them very hard to see, even up close.
How You Can Help Healing
There are simple things that make a big difference:
- Keep scars out of the sun and use SPF.
- Use silicone gels or scar creams if recommended.
- Don’t smoke — it slows the healing process.
- Follow your surgeon’s care instructions closely.
The Bottom Line
With a skilled surgeon and proper care, facelift scars are usually minimal, hidden, and fade beautifully over time. In most cases, friends and family just notice a fresher, younger version of you — not the scars.
