Answer: I am considering a facelift but am terrified of the windswept look near the ears. How do I avoid it? Thank you for your question. This is a very common concern for folks like you that are interested in a youthful yet natural look. First, it's important that your surgeon shares this type of aesthetic. You can check their photos( more of which should be provided during your consultation) and have a conversation about your concerns. There are many different facelift techniques when done properly that can avoid this type of look. It's also important to see either a plastic surgeon that specializes in facial work or facial plastic surgeon for best results. Best wishes.

Answer: Facelift or mid facelift Every face has its unique aging pattern. It's important that the surgeon you choose takes the time to discuss and understand how your face has aged over the years and to design a treatment plan to follow that path. This may mean a combination of volume replacement (fat transfer), laser skin resurfacing, and some type of surgical facelift. Find out details of how the procedure will be done and customized to your facial structure. There are a wide variety of facelift types and each surgeon has an approach that is consistent with the results they achieve for their patients. Most quality face lifts focus on tightening the SMAS. There should be very little tension on the skin edges. Ask to see pictures that chronicle recovery as well as results beyond 3 months.
