A facelift or face and necklift should provide a natural, un-operated result without the pulled or windswept appearance. Finding the proper facelift surgeon can be a challenge. It’s important to be evaluated by someone who understands the anatomy and understands the aesthetics of the face. You must choose a surgeon you are comfortable with and can communicate with well.

Next, you must understand that there are a variety of facelifts or necklifts. Whether you are a candidate for a mini-facelift, a vertical lift, a neck lift, or a deep plane facelift will be a discussion that you and your surgeon will need to have. Make sure that surgeon is a board certified plastic surgeon or facial plastic surgeon.
