Episode notes
Facelifts Always Leave Scars
- Every facelift creates permanent scars because excess skin must be excised around the ears and hairline.
- Deep plane facelifts aren't proven superior to SMAS lifts and carry higher nerve-injury risk when done aggressively.
Ask About Facelift Technique And Risk
- Ask surgeons to explain whether they perform SMAS or deep plane techniques and why.
- Prioritize surgeons who balance safety, predictable recovery, and results rather than marketing claims.
Upper Vs Lower Eyelid Surgery Differences
- Upper blepharoplasty mainly removes excess upper eyelid skin while lower blepharoplasty mainly removes lower eyelid fat.
- Lower blepharoplasty can often be performed through the inner eyelid with no visible external scar.
