The S-Lift is a short name for the short scar facelift. It is a facelift procedure that is less invasive then a traditional facelift. It is suitable for people with early or light to medium signs of aging. The incision is made around the ear instead of the hairline making it popular with people who like to pull their hair back. Skin is pulled and trimmed, but the fat and muscle is also moved to produce a natural looking result. It is crucial the surgeon be skilled at determining if the procedure will produce the right results or if a traditional facelift is needed. People with excessive skin sagging are not good candidates for the S-Lift. Sometimes the S-Lift is combined with laser skin resurfacing to achieve the smoothest skin appearance.
