I had a facelift almost a year ago, but I can't see much change. Nobody else sees it either. How do doctors know how much to do so that it's a facelift that makes a difference? Is it a 50/50 chance that it will come out good or is it something the doctors really have any control over? Is it hit or miss or can doctors really target how much to do so it makes a difference? I might get this done over but am not sure it would work the next time, either. Very discouraged.
