Facial anatomy is unique for every individual, and signs of aging may reveal their impact differently in each case. Therefore, a procedure such as facelift should be customized to match with the specific needs of a patient to achieve best results. While preparing a customized treatment plan, the facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon can make use of facelift surgery before and after photographs to explain various aspects of the surgery to the patient.
Dr. Eric Yavrouian is a board certified facial plastic surgeon providing facelift and other face and neck procedures to patients in Glendale, Pasadena, Burbank, CA, and surrounding areas.

What are Facelift Surgery Before and After Images?
Facelift surgery ‘before and after pictures’ refer to a set of images pertaining to a patient who has previously received the same procedure with satisfactory results. The set includes pictures taken prior to the procedure and after the procedure at a stage when full results of facelift have appeared. The facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon will take these photos with the consent of the patient and present them discreetly before new patients.
The surgeon’s goal is to educate new patients about different aspects of facelift. Before and after photos serve as a visual aid to help the patients make the most appropriate decisions. Patients in Glendale, Pasadena, Burbank, CA, and nearby areas who are seeking facelift cosmetic surgery may consult with Dr. Yavrouian.
Advantages
When a new patient is considering facelift surgery, they may only have a vague idea of how the procedure can help them meet their personal aesthetic goals. In some cases, the surgeon may recommend a full facelift, while a few patients may only need a mini facelift as a maintenance procedure.
Sometimes the best approach may be to combine facelift with neck lift or other facial procedures to meet the patient’s aesthetic goals. In all such situations, patient may find it difficult to make the right choices. This is where the surgeon will make use of facelift surgery before and after photos to explain various aspects of the procedure and help the patient make the best decisions.
Being Realistic about the Results
It is important to ensure that the patient understands the facelift procedure clearly and knows what it can or cannot do for them. Patients with realistic expectations will usually achieve the highest satisfaction levels from a facelift surgery. Therefore, the surgeon will use the facelift before and after photos to show to the patient what kind of results can be expected in the end. This minimizes the chances of any disappointment occurring for the patient at the time of final results.
Online Photos
A plastic surgeon may choose to provide facelift surgery before and after photos on their practice website with free access to all. New patients can simply review the pictures online before they are even ready to visit the surgeon’s office for a facelift consultation. The photos can be uploaded in digital format in a dedicated ‘Photo Gallery’ section of the surgeon’s website.
