When doing a facelift, do you have to make sure that there aren't weird folds in the skin post surgery? I really like this surgeons work, but I think I might see some weird lines under the eyes like the skin is coming together weird. I'd like to know what the dead giveaways of a facelift are so know to look for them in results.
Answer: Five Signs of a Bad Facelift Excellent question. There are five signs of an obvious facelift. 1. Obvious incision. The healed incision of a facelift should be imperceptible 2. Ear lobes attached to face. After a facelift your ear lobes should have a natural appearance, meaning the ear lobe is distinct and free from the face and NOT attached to the face. 3. Over tightened appearance. Removal of too much skin or pulling the skin in the wrong direction can result in this appearance. 4. limited facial movement. Most likely as a result of #3 5. A youthful face but an aged neck. These are the telltale signs of a not so great facelift. Best wishes! ESJ #truthandtransformation

Answer: Natural Facelift results Great question! Overall, a Facelift shouldn't completely change a person's appearance. They should simply appear as a younger, more refreshed version of themselves. A few things to consider when browsing results– #1: Look for photos that are at least 6 months out from surgery. It is common to see unnatural folds/creases during the initial healing period that would relax after a few months. By viewing photos further out in the process, you can also get a better idea of the "settled in" result. As far as the dead giveaways of a facelift– #1: scars. The scars should be very difficult to see in photos 6 months-1 year post-op. #2: the mouth. No one wants the "joker smile", pulled mouth look. The mouth should look the same before and after surgery. #3: a "pulled" look or visible tension on the skin is a facelift giveaway. A "good" facelift is undetectable!

Answer: Facelift If you are concerned about any of the surgeon's results, it might be best to re-evaluate and take a step back here. Usually surgeons will only post the BEST results, so if you are not happy with the before/afters you are seeing...it might be best to take a pause and determine what is the best course here.

Answer: Facelift scars Thank you for your question. You can tell if patient have had a facelift by looking at the ears. With my technique, I follow the curvature the ear, so it makes the incision less visible. Be sure to research several doctors in your area. Making sure they are board certified plastic surgeons.

Answer: Stigmas after face lift All scars after face and eyelid surgery are well hidden in the areas around ears and eyes and after few months it would be difficult to detect them from conversational distance. Placement of the scars would depend of the required correction and should be discussed with your surgeon ahead of surgery. Hope this helps.
