Most of the facelift surgery pictures I have seen have the same head shape in before and after pictures, however some look very different. What can be the reason for the altered head shape in facelift surgery and what surgery type is most likely to alter it?
Answer: Head Shape Post Facelift It is highly unlikely that facelift surgery would alter one’s head shape. Most likely the subtle surgical changes in the patient’s skin and soft tissue, such as removing and tightening the excess skin or filling the sunken areas, is giving you an impression of a head shape change. As long as you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon with expertise in facial rejuvenation, there will be no change in head shape or size.

Answer: Altering head shape It's possible to change the physiologic proportions of the facial tissues using augmentation or reduction techniques, but in most cases, it's not necessary. This is a very individual decision. The skull and bones themselves are not changed with facelifting surgery. Be sure to discuss your goals and concerns with your board certified plastic surgeon and consider the pros and the cons. Be certain your surgeon is properly certified.

Answer: Can head shape alter in facelift surgery? Hello. Thank you for your question. The shape of the head is determined by the bones that make up the skull. These bones are not altered during facelift surgery. Therefore, the shape of the head should not change with a facelift. However, the shape of the face is altered in a positive way with facelift surgery by repositioning the soft tissues of the face over the underlying facial skeleton to create a more youthful appearance.

Answer: Change in face shape after facelift surgery As we age, our faces change from a youthful heart shape to an older square shape. A facelift will restore the youthful heart shape of your face. I think that is what you are referring to. There should be no change in the head- which I assume is the top of the face you are referring to
