Are these photos real patients?
Yes. They are the surgeons' own patient results, published with each surgeon's permission and labeled with the operating surgeon. Photos with nudity are blurred until you confirm you are 18 or older.
How should I judge before and after photos?
Compare photos taken from the same angle, in the same lighting and with the same expression, and look for results at least several months after surgery, when swelling has settled. Ask the surgeon for more photos of patients with a similar starting point to yours.
Will my results look the same?
Not necessarily. Results depend on your anatomy, skin, healing and the technique used. Before and after photos show what a surgeon can achieve, not a guarantee; a consultation is the place to discuss realistic expectations.
Facelift Before and After: What the Evidence Shows
14 peer-reviewed sourcesA facelift (rhytidectomy) aims to soften deep folds, redefine the jawline, and restore a smoother neck and midface. The before-and-after photos in this gallery capture how a patient looked at one fixed moment before surgery and again after healing, usually under similar lighting and angles. They are a useful guide to the kind of change the procedure can produce, but they cannot promise the same result for you: outcomes depend on your skin quality, facial anatomy, age, the technique used (such as SMAS, deep-plane, or MACS lift), and how your tissues heal. Published outcome studies generally report high patient satisfaction and durable rejuvenation, while also documenting real risks such as temporary nerve weakness, hematoma, and the need for revision in a minority of cases. Photos also cannot show longevity, because faces continue to age after surgery. Use these images to set realistic expectations and to discuss your own goals and risks with a qualified surgeon.
Results vary from person to person; these photos show individual outcomes and are not a guarantee of your result.
