The general consensus is that you’ll know if you see someone with a bad facelift. Botched facelifts can result in a receding hairline, overly arched eyebrows, stretched or puckered skin, uneven ears, misshapen eyes, and difficulty moving the face. Normal surgery side effects include facial bruising, swelling, and temporary numbness. Side effects should lessen after two weeks, but someone will indefinitely have the other concerns if their procedure was faulty.
