Why do most before and after photos of facelifts not show improvement of marionette lines?

Asked By:midwestmomx3 in Indianapolis, Indiana

I am 43 and researching facelifts. My biggest concern is the marionette lines that have formed due to sagging skin/cheeks. When I lift my cheek and the marionette fold goes away, I feel satisfied with this look. When looking at facelift before and afters, I notice that the jowls always look good and pulled back, but sometimes there seems to be no improvement on marionette folds. Why might this be?
