anything i should know before getting a face lift so I won't end up looking all pulled up? I think they call it "wind swept" looking? this is NOT the results I want from surgery!
Answer: Your surgeon should be artistically skilled in facelift surgery The pulled look results from many factors, all of them avoidable. As a lay person, you may not be able to list each one, but you know pulled when you see it.

Answer: Modern facelift surgery avoids the tight or pulled look at all costs! Modern facelift surgery avoids the tight or pulled look at all costs! This has been made possible via recent advances in the understanding of facial ageing and its correction. It is now known that the aged appearance is not just due to skin excess, but there is also usually age related fat loss in the upper face (cheek and temples) while at the same time there can be an increase in fat deposits in the lower face (jowls and neck). Facelift surgery of the highest quality combines up to date SMAS facelift technique with well refined aesthetic judgement in order to deliver an effective rejuvenation while also avoiding detectible signs of the operated, pulled or unnatural look. The deep supporting layer (SMAS) of the face and the fatty tissues that have dropped to the jowls and neck are raised and re-supported aiming to reclaim more youthful facial tone and contours. The folds of excess skin around the mouth, jowls and neck are attached to this underlying SMAS are therefore lifted along with it. The excessive skin removal associated with many older skin-only facelift techniques is avoided therefore preventing the pulled or tightened look. Naturally the most important way of avoiding an overdone or unnatural facelift is to choose your plastic surgeon very carefully. Most patients want to look refreshed and rejuvenated without looking at all like a different person and without visibly obvious tell-tale signs of surgery so modern techniques offer many advantages. Surprisingly, the vast majority of people attribute the refreshed and better look from surgery to the person having lost weight or enjoyed a great holiday. It doesn’t enter their minds that they may have had surgery.

Answer: Natural Facelift Results Thank you for your question. Do your homework prior to surgery. Get multiple consults. Ask to see before and after photos. Ask to speak to prior facelift patients of surgeons you are considering. ask for computer imaging. The nicest surgery is that for which you never know someone has had it done. Best wishes.

Answer: How to avoid a pulled look after a facelift You are not alone - patients (and most surgeons too!) are afraid of the "overdone" look after a facelift procedure. This may be described as a "wind swept" look, or even worse the "open cockpit of an airplane" look. This is something that is easily avoided by skilled surgeons.

Answer: Facelifts should look Natural Thank you for your question. The windswept look is often a result of bad facelift surgery.Your surgeon should listen to what you would like to achieve. I have pioneered a new type of face lift called Concept Facelift. It is performed under local anaesthetic and addresses the lower face including the jowls. As it is done under local anaesthetic the recovery is much quicker and more appealing. My concept is very much like a traditional facelift but I use absorbable stitches, there are no drains or bandages afterwards and unlike other Local anaesthetic facelifts I work on the muscle as well as the skin which gives much better results which last between 7-10 years. My results are very natural and some people do not tell their friends and family that they have had this procedure! I wish you all the best and hope you find the procedure and surgeon which fits your desires.

Answer: Wind swept look after a facelift Facial cosmetic surgeries are always customised based on the patients concerns & expectations following surgery. The outcome is planned based on the existing features and anatomical landmarks on the face.Therefore, the "wind swept" appearance can best be avoided by clearly outlining & establishing realistic expectations pre op, during your consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. You would need to emphasise on the fact, that you DO NOT want to seem "overdone"
