How do you avoid that sharp unnatural angular look after face lift with neck lift?

Lostbeauty
I don't know if this is possible, but is there a way to avoid that sharp angular look to the neck after a face lift. To me it looks like the head of a puppet on a stick. I have seen this look with some of the top plastic surgeons. To me it's a dead giveaway that someone had a face lift and it does not look feminine or natural to me. It just looks like it the neck was pulled way too tight.
