In aesthetics, there are plenty of times when we fail to see the forest for the trees—when a tiny detail (be it a wrinkle or a bulge) blinds us to the bigger, grander picture. (The pandemic Zoom boom was basically born of this phenomenon.) Interestingly, however, when we’re reviewing facelift<\/a> before and after photos, the opposite is often true: The proverbial forest tends to steal our focus. We’re so captivated by the sweeping change—that jawline transformation—that we miss the finer aspects of the outcome, which are equally deserving of scrutiny and appreciation.<\/p>

In truth, it’s the subtleties of a facelift that can make or break a result. Ahead, top facial plastic surgeons share the eight things they always look for in facelift B&As.<\/p>

1. Consistency<\/h2>
