A scar will obviously form at the incision sites from cosmetic surgery. This is always red and slightly lumpy in the first few months following surgery. Of course light makeup applied over the scars in the early phase will help hide them. One must remember of course, it is always impossible to ultimately predict how any individual’s scar will appear. However sometimes behind the ears, and rarely in front of them, scars of certain skin types can stretch. These skin types cannot be identified prior to surgery. Often, these can easily be hidden by longer hairstyles but may become visible if the hair is cut short or lifted. Very occasionally a small bald strip can develop adjacent to the scar that is situated above the ear in the temple area. Although as mentioned scars are unpredictable, the vast majority of patients operated by Mr. Solomos do not experience problems with their scars. As a result of careful planning and meticulous technique, Mr. Solomos aim is to preserve your ability and right to be able to put your hair up comfortably without worrying about your scars in front or behind your ears being visible.
