Before and After Facelift Results

 Your question is a good one and this book was recently highlighted in a New York Times article last month.  I think the bottom line is that there are different types of facelifts and many highly skilled and qualified surgeons that can get fantastic results with these procedures, both early on and for years to come.  

While I think all of us as plastic surgeons can have very strong opinions about what is the "best" procedure for a specific problem, I think most of us can agree there is more than one way to do a facelift, and this exact question was highlighted and reviewed by a panel of experts at our recent national meeting in Seattle last month--even there, among our colleagues, the same conclusion was reached.

Any surgeon should be able to show you results at several months out and also a few years out from a facelift.   How you age with the result will depend partly on the technique and also on your own tissues and skin elasticity.
