Facelift patients often have a common goal in that they want it to not be obvious that they had a facelift<\/a>. Modern surgical techniques do allow for the utmost discreetness. However, can you tell if someone had a facelift? The answer is yes, there usually still are ways to tell if someone had a facelift. But, it requires a close look in most cases and can be easily hidden behind hair or makeup. So, how can you tell?<\/p>\n

The first obvious sign of a facelift is an incision just in front of or behind the ear<\/a>. Once someone fully heals from surgery, this incision often becomes difficult to see and easily hidden. However, if not performed correctly or by an inexperienced surgeon, the incision can cause a deformity known as a pixie ear. This is where the earlobe ends up pulled downward in an unnatural way. This is often a dead giveaway of a facelift but also can be addressed.<\/p>\n

While the windswept look rarely happens with a good facelift these days, it can still occur. If the face looks pulled back unnaturally, it is likely that the person underwent a facelift. This is rare when a patient sees a qualified facelift surgeon<\/a>.<\/p>\n
