Is It Possible to Get a Natural Looking Facelift?

09/08/2022 by DR. ANDREW JACONO

We’ve all seen the horror stories on the front of tabloids where a celebrity has gotten plastic surgery and their new face just looks so… fake. It makes people afraid of cosmetic surgery because they don’t want to look plastic and stretched and so artificial. 

But the truth is that the vast majority of facelifts actually look quite natural. If you lined up ten beautiful people, five of whom had facelifts, you’d be hard-pressed to identify who had had work done. And this is the main problem that people face when they’re getting a facelift: their new face might look perfectly natural to a stranger, but it will look different and “fake” to someone who has known them for a long time.

Fortunately, there’s an answer for that. 

If you’re looking for how to get a natural face lift, then there are many facial rejuvenation surgeries that you can get which will make you look younger, more beautiful–and still look like yourself. You can divorce yourself from the notion that a facelift is a New Face. A facelift can be an entirely new face, but a face lift can also be a natural and gentle resculpturing of the face you already have to make you look still like yourself, only younger and with better skin. 

Think about other plastic surgeries. When someone gets breast augmentation, they can get a very large increase that makes them overnight need to throw out their entire wardrobe and they have effectively become a new person. Some people really want that, and as plastic surgeons, we want to make them happy. 

But there are other people who want breast implants with natural-looking results–maybe a cup or two up. Significant, but not shocking. This same cosmetic surgery philosophy can translate into facelifts. 

How do I get a natural facelift?

For starters, you don’t need to get a full traditional facelift. You can get a minimally invasive facelift procedure that will gently recondition your face and neck into a younger you without changing your overall look. You’ll still be you, you’ll just be you from ten years ago. 

These natural lifts are common, and you’d be surprised at how many people–both men and women–have them done. And the reason you’d be surprised is because the person doesn’t look abnormal–they just suddenly look more youthful, more vibrant.

Not every facelift requires fat transfers and fat grafts, but rather a gentle tightening removal of excess facial skin will make someone look much younger, getting rid of lines and wrinkles without looking like they’re an android. 

The Ponytail Lift

Some of the most natural-looking plastic surgeries are procedures like the ponytail lift. These surgeries use tiny incisions under the hairline. They’re called “ponytail” lifts because the impression that someone gets is that you’ve pulled your hair back into a ponytail, pulling the skin of your forehead and cheeks back and up. It’s one of the easiest procedures to get, and other than noticing that you look much better and younger, no one will be the wiser that you’ve had plastic surgery. 

The Non-Surgical Lift

Another example, which is even more natural (and has much less recovery time) is the non-surgical facelift. In these procedures, the plastic surgeon doesn’t do any cutting at all, but the work is done entirely with treatments including dermal fillers, lasers, IPL (Intense Pulsed Light Therapy), Kybella, Botox, ThermiTight, Ultherapy, and Sculptra. 

These non-surgical facelifts give you many of the benefits of a surgical facelift, but do it entirely without incisions, and you can walk out of the surgeon’s office looking younger almost instantly. The downside to non-surgical facelifts is that they don’t last as long as surgical facelifts, and you’ll need to have the treatments done again in a year or two.

Mission Statement

Doctor Jacono’s desire to become a facial plastic surgeon was solidified in grade school. There was a girl on his school bus route who was born with a cleft lip and palate deformity. Unfortunately, whenever she spoke, air and words escaped through her nose. Kids teased her and were cruel, and nobody would sit next to her on the bus, so he decided to sit with her. One day, the girl had plastic surgery and returned to school with her face repaired. Suddenly, classmates saw her face instead of her deformity and immediately treated her normally. It was at that moment that Doctor Jacono knew he wanted to fix people’s faces and change their lives. This is why he has gone on over twenty plastic surgery missions to poor countries around the world and provided free cleft lip and surgery for birth defects to over 500 children.

Because of this experience in his childhood, Doctor Jacono understands that one of our basic needs as human beings is to feel confident about our appearance. It’s is Doctor Jacono’s passion to help his patients achieve their facial aesthetic goals, creating natural appearing results to either enhance their beauty and proportion or rejuvenate their aging appearance. He is a world-renowned leader in the field of facial plastic surgery and only performs surgery on the face, not the body. He has innovated many facelift, eyelid lift, and rhinoplasty surgical techniques, publishing in leading peer reviewed literature and lecturing at plastic surgery conferences all over the world. He is committed to sharing what he has learned teaching surgeons from around the world.

His approach is to maintain your uniqueness and facial identity; it is still you just better. To do this he uses a customized, bespoke approach to each patient employing the most minimally invasive, innovative, and cutting-edge technology. Doctor Jacono has never performed the same procedure on any two of the thousands of patients he has treated. He is committed to providing his surgical expertise in a caring, supportive environment with a professional staff that has you as their focus and concern.
