Short scar facelift cost is similar to the cost of an average traditional face lift. A relatively new procedure, it was designed to reduce scarring and recovery time. It was also intended to prevent the unnatural look skin stretching can create. This procedure works to improve the appearance by lifting the upper face and does not lift the lower face like a regular full facelift. It also does not improve the neck area. But one of the major advantages of this type of surgery is that scarring is not only reduced but it is also designed to accommodate preferred hairstyles. The surgeon makes careful incision placements that reduce the chance of hair loss from scarring and are meant to better hide scars. Since the surgery is more limited there is also less recovery time.
