Answer: Avoiding the wind swept look A well done facelift should not leave a patient looking windswept. Make sure you do your research when you are looking for your facelift surgeon. Review their before and after photos and make sure they resemble results you are hoping for. During the first few weeks after surgery there may be some unavoidable swelling and after a mid facelift, and deep plane face lift, the swelling may result in a temporarily distorted appearance that should become more natural with time and by 2-3 months after surgery you should have a natural rejuvenated look.

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.
