A wide subcutaneous face-lift is usually performed with SMAS application (tightening of the superficial muscle system). The incision starts in the temporal hairline, progresses in a natural crease line in front of the ear, then up behind the ear hugging the earlobe and back into the hairline behind the ear. The incision behind the ear is made high up to prevent the telltale signs of a face-lift. A drain is left behind the ear overnight and the patient is wrapped up with bandages for forty-eight hours to prevent swelling and bruising. Eyelid procedures are usually performed concurrently - which will increase the length and cost of the procedure.
