After a facelift you continue to age but you will always look better than a twin that never had it done by Dr. Young of Bellevue: After a facelift, you continue to age but you will always look better than a twin that never had it done. Of course, you have to make sure a facelift is what is going to make you look good. I think that when facelifts are redone more than once, the more you do the more you can look distorted. When you age with a facelift, some have found that you can have what people call the lateral sweep affect. This occurs when your face is pulled laterally and what keeps it up is also more lateral and in between the tissues can hang as you age. What you get is two points that are higher, one lateral and one nearer to the midline of the face creating a Nike type of swoosh appearance. At some point, you really need volumizing to make your face look younger. So if a person has had a facelift before and wants to look younger, I usually talk about the YoungVitalizer as an alternative. This is my technique of volumizing the face.
