Facelift Scars - Mr Karri's Almost Invisible Method
Mr Karri very carefully plans each of his facelifts to ensure that the facelift scars are barely visible. Many patients are, understandably, concerned about the visibility of scars and the potential for their hairline to change. Mr Karri closes the facelift incisions with extremely fine sutures and staples and never shaves any hair. As you can see from the image above, the scars are hardly noticeable.

Summary
- Mr Karri plans each facelift so the scars are barely visible.
- He closes the incisions with very fine sutures and staples and never shaves any hair.
- His facelifts are done under sedation as a day case, so patients go home the same day.

Mr Karri performs all his facelifts under sedation anaesthesia as a daycase procedure, meaning patients are able to go home the same day from The Clinic and avoid the after effects which come from general anaesthetic.
