Short Scar Facelift Alpharetta, GA | L. Franklyn Elliott, MD, FACS

Understanding the Short Scar Facelift Procedure

The short scar facelift is an innovative surgical technique designed for patients experiencing early to moderate signs of facial aging. This minimally invasive procedure specifically targets moderate laxity in the neck and jowl areas, providing subtle yet significant facial rejuvenation.

Key Benefits of Short Scar Facelift

• Lifts and repositions facial soft tissues
• Reduces jowl prominence
• Softens nasolabial folds
• Minimal scarring compared to traditional techniques
• Performed under local anesthesia

Specialized Surgical Technique

Dr. Elliott's signature short scar facelift technique utilizes small, strategic incisions in the temporal hair and in front of the ear lobe. This approach eliminates extensive scarring typical of traditional facelifts while effectively repositioning skin and soft tissues affected by the aging process.
