The Secret to a Natural-Looking Facelift

You’ve been considering a facelift but hesitate to take the first step because you’re worried about the results. Maybe you’ve heard stories from unhappy friends or seen photos of celebrities who bear little resemblance to their pre-procedure selves.

At Goldberg Facial Plastic Surgery in Willow Grove, Pennsylvania, board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Joshua E. Goldberg, D.O., FACOS, understands your concerns. He believes every facelift should deliver natural-looking results you’ll love. That’s his specialty, and that’s why so many patients trust Dr. Goldberg to perform their facelift. 

To help you get beautiful results, Dr. Goldberg offers these tips for a natural-looking facelift:

Know your facelift goals

A natural-looking facelift begins with a patient who has a clear vision and realistic expectations. You need to know what you do and don’t like about your appearance. The more details you can provide about what you want to change, the easier it is to find ways to meet them.

Once we’re clear on the changes you want to make, we use our skills and experience to offer honest advice. Dr. Goldberg lets you know whether a facelift can realistically deliver the results you desire and provides an honest evaluation of whether the facelift you envision will leave you with a natural appearance.

You collaborate to create a treatment plan that delivers the rejuvenated look you want, whether your best choice is a facelift or another cosmetic option.

Traditional facelift

You’ll get the most natural and longest-lasting results from a full facelift that lifts and tightens the skin and muscles. Your skin needs the support of its underlying muscles. As you get older, the muscles also weaken and sag, so the results of a traditional lift last longer than other facial rejuvenation options and treatments that focus only on the skin.

Dr. Goldberg’s patients love their results as we carefully preserve their natural facial structure while restoring a younger-looking appearance.

Consider an add-on procedure.

Even a beautiful facelift can look unnatural when your features are mismatched. A facelift doesn’t improve issues such as drooping eyelids or deep forehead furrows. If you have other age-related concerns, talk with Dr. Goldberg about additional procedures he can perform at the same time as your facelift.

Whether you need an eyelid lift, a brow lift, or another procedure, getting all the work done during your facelift saves on your recovery time and eliminates the inconvenience of multiple surgeries. And ultimately, the results are more natural because all your features look younger.

Pick an experienced plastic surgeon.

Nothing predicts the outcome of your facelift more than the surgical skills and experience of the doctor performing your procedure. Make sure to request photos of their work before and after. While photos show the overall quality of the surgeon’s work, they’re also a good way to learn if the surgeon places a high value on achieving natural results. When you look at photos, pay close attention to whether the after version looks natural.

Top-rated with countless positive patient reviews, Dr. Goldberg has established and maintains an exceptional reputation. He’s passionate about creating a natural-looking facelift using his extensive surgical skills and artistic and aesthetic sensibilities.
