Considering a facelift or facial rejuvenation procedure but not feeling informed enough? In this 9-part series, Board Certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Thomas Buonassisi of Vancouver, Canada discusses everything you need to know about facelifts—from facial anatomy basics, to the post-op recovery process, to a discussion of the unprecedented deep plane facelift technique that he performs regularly alongside less than 5% of other surgeons.

In this episode of Part 6, Dr. Buonassisi talks about surgical incisions in regards to a facelift procedure and what is to be expected through the surgery process. He goes over:

→ Why incisions have to be made and the important role they play in a facelift procedure,

→ Where the facelift incisions are typically made to stay hidden after healing,

→ Short incisions vs. longer incisions for facelifts,

→ The balance between scarring and optimal results after a facelift.

With so many different types of facelift techniques and procedures that are improperly identified as facelifts, Dr. Buonassisi aims to untangle these and help you find where your goals might fit in while informing on the details that are essential to know.
