Invisible incisional line with very natural tragus and ear lobe post-operative 10 months after Deep Plane Facelift. After the deep plane facelift, you can see the almost invisible incision line and the natural, beautiful shape of the ear.
People often worry about things like scarring, pixie ear, and disappearing tragus when considering facelifts. We often see people dealing with these problems. Severe scarring and “pixie ear” deformity happen because the skin is pulled too tight. Skin is fragile, so it can’t handle being pulled too hard. If too much skin is taken out and the pull is too tight, it can make your face look lifted at first, but over time, the scars can get worse and your earlobes may stretch out, giving you pixie ears.
Then, what makes it possible to have such a natural ear shape and nearly invisible incision line along with excellent lifting results? It’s called the Deep Plane Facelift. Achieving the ideal result involves carefully identifying and dissecting the retaining ligaments below the SMAS while gently pulling on the tough tissue to ensure great outcomes and avoiding any unnecessary tension on the skin. The SMAS should be responsible for the lifting effect, while the skin should not be involved in this process. Only then can the cut line be almost invisible, and the earlobe look nice and round. The natural tragus is the same.
The theory and techniques for facelift are always changing and improving. The newest thing is the Deep Plane Facelift. It’s pretty popular in Western countries like the United States, but not as much in places like Korea and other parts of Asia. I’m working on bringing this global trend to Korea and Asia based on the Mendelson Group’s theories and techniques.
