WILL I STILL LOOK LIKE MYSELF AFTER A FACELIFT?
This is one of the most common questions patients ask—and the answer is yes. A well-performed facelift shouldn’t make you look like someone else. It should help you look like a more refreshed, well-rested version of yourself.
Hear Dr. Mark Anton explain his approach to natural-looking facelift results:
WHAT SHOULD A NATURAL FACELIFT LOOK LIKE?
The best facelift is one that no one can identify. Friends and family may notice that you look younger or more refreshed, but they shouldn’t immediately think you’ve had plastic surgery.
HOW DO YOU AVOID THE “FACELIFT LOOK”?
Natural results come down to surgical technique and artistry. Every facelift is customized to the individual so the face stays balanced, the tissues are positioned naturally, and there are no obvious signs of surgery like excessive tightness or visible scars.
DOES A FACELIFT TREAT EVERYTHING?
A facelift addresses sagging skin, jowls, and loose tissue, but skin quality is a separate concern. Sun damage, discoloration, redness, and loss of skin vibrancy can often be treated with complementary non-surgical skin rejuvenation procedures to create a more complete result.
WHAT IS THE GOAL OF A FACELIFT?
The goal isn’t to change your face. It’s to restore it. You should still recognize yourself in the mirror—just looking more rested, refreshed, and youthful.
