Can You Tell If Someone Had A Facelift?

Facelift patients often have a common goal in that they want it to not be obvious that they had a facelift. 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?The first obvious sign of a facelift is an incision just in front of or behind the ear. Once someone fully heals from surgery, this incision often becomes difficult to see and easily hidden. Though, 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.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.To learn more and schedule a consultation, call us at 941-923-1736.
