Incredible Facelift Takes 20 Years Off Face

There are over 1,700 photos in the RealSelf facelift gallery, and many impressive transformations. But this is one makeover that blew our whole office away, so we had to share.

Based on the average prices reported by our community members, a makeover like this would cost around $21,000. Here's what she had done:

If this isn't the transformation of the decade, we don't know what is. Props to Dr. Eric Swanson for such a remarkable result!

My mother has me looking into the whole face lift thing. You would think that Los Angeles has a lot of plastic surgery doctors around.

Really nice job....she's gonna fool alot of people for sure. Nobody will be able to guess her actual age...

I wonder how old she is because i'd like to know if there is an age limit for facelift surgery. My mom is 74 and has a lot of wrinkles mostly on her lower face but she'd like to have this done with local anesthesia. Anyone?

(Spoiler: No, your mom is definitely not too old. You can also use the age filter in our facelift photo gallery to see before and afters of folks in your mom's age range.)
