A facelift is a cosmetic surgical procedure that improves signs of aging by tightening facial tissues, reducing sagging skin, and enhancing the jawline and neck contour. Before and after photos of facelift patients typically show a significant reduction in facial sagging, jowling, and neck laxity, resulting in a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance while maintaining a natural look.
Common Before and After Facelift Outcomes:
- Reduced jowling and tightened cheek skin
- Defined and youthful jawline
- Smoother neck contour and less loose skin
- Enhanced overall facial rejuvenation without an artificial or "operated" appearance
Examples of Facelift Results:
- Patients with sagging cheeks and loose neck skin before surgery often show markedly improved skin tightness and jawline definition after a lower facelift and neck lift.
- Some procedures combine facelifts with eyelid lifts (blepharoplasty), brow lifts, or volume restoration (fat transfer and lip lifts) for a comprehensive rejuvenation.
- The results typically show a refreshed, rested, and natural facial appearance, often making patients look 10-15 years younger depending on individual circumstances.
Several plastic surgery centers provide galleries of these before and after photos highlighting the improvements in facial contours and skin tightness achieved through facelift procedures.
