Thescar for a facelift begins above the ear in the scalp. It is placed in front of the ear either in the crease lines or into the ear. It continues behind the ear and then along the hair line. All surgery requires a scar and all scars take time to soften and fade. You will not see the final appearance of your scar for a year after surgery. It is usually red and raised for the first month or two after your operation. If the scar remains heavy it is usually in the concealed location behind the ear.
