How Do You Achieve the Most Natural Facelift?

One of the biggest myths about facelifts is that they will look stiff and unnatural. People sometimes associate a “windswept” look of being pulled too tight with a bad facelift. The unnatural facelift look only happens when the patient’s individual anatomy is not respected. It’s possible to achieve natural facelift results that restore more youthful contours while preserving the unique identity of your face when you work with a skilled and experienced plastic surgeon. The first step in achieving a natural facelift with optimal results is doing research and selecting a board-certified plastic surgeon.

In preparation for your facelift, be sure to tell us about any previous aesthetic procedures you may have had, such as thread lifts, fillers, or energy-based treatments. These can affect the consistency and quality of your facial tissues. For natural results, you should also quit smoking, be at a stable weight, maintain a healthy lifestyle in the time leading up to the surgery, and follow any pre-operative guidelines closely.

Patients who are hoping to achieve the most natural facelift results often have other facelift-related questions such as:

• Can you get a more natural facelift without surgery using BOTOX®, fillers, and skin rejuvenation treatments instead of face surgery?
• How does a chin lift compare to a facelift?
• What happens before and after a neck lift, jawline lift, or facelift surgery?
• What is the average cost of a mini facelift and how does it compare to the cost of a full facelift?
• Who is a candidate for a jawline lift – also referred to as a lower facelift, jowl lift or ponytail facelift?
• Who is a cheek lift or mid-face lift best for?
• Does deep plane face lifting look natural?
• What can you do to optimize neck lift recovery?
• What is the recovery like for face operations?
• How do I find the most natural facelift or neck lift near me?

Although you can research these procedures online, it’s always best to schedule an in-person consultation to discuss facelift or neck surgery so that we can created a custom-tailored plan for you based on your unique goals and anatomy. We would be happy to answer any questions you have.

There are a variety of procedures available at Cosmetic Surgery Institute to address each patient’s cosmetic goals. BOTOX® softens wrinkles in the upper face such as frown lines to provide a naturally refreshed appearance that enhances your features. Dermal fillers are injectables that add volume to restore areas where it is depleted, enhancing the contours and symmetry of the face with balanced results. Non-surgical PDO threads lift and tighten skin while stimulating collagen. When performed right, these treatments are virtually undetectable. These procedures are less invasive than a surgical facelift though the results are not as dramatic or long-lasting.
