A well-performed facelift can result in a natural-looking appearance. The goal of a facelift is to restore a more youthful, refreshed look rather than creating an artificial or “overdone” appearance. The key to achieving a natural-looking facelift is to select a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon who has a good understanding of facial anatomy and an artistic eye. The surgeon should also be able to understand the patient’s specific concerns and goals and tailor the procedure accordingly. A natural-looking facelift should restore a more youthful contour to the face and neck while preserving or restoring natural facial expressions and movements. However, it’s important to have realistic expectations and understand that facelift will not make you look like you did when you were 20 years old, but it will definitely help to smooth out wrinkles, jowls and give you a more youthful and rested appearance.
