Can you tell if someone’s had a facelift?

A well-performed facelift should look natural, enhancing facial contours without appearing to look tight or pulled. The most highly skilled facelift surgeons achieve this by performing the deep plane facelift technique. With the deep plane technique, we go deeper underneath the soft tissues of the face, releasing the retaining ligaments that hold the face in place and allowing us to reposition the tissues rather than simply placing tension on them. The deep plane technique is a much more complex and sophisticated type of facelift. Although there is now a consensus amongst the world's best facelift surgeons that this is the gold standard method if you want to achieve the most natural results that last a long time.
