Why do facelifts look so unnatural? What prevents plastic surgeons from making seniors look like they did when they were 30?

Question

When a 70 year old gets a facelift and plastic surgery, it looks like a 70 year old who had a facelift. Why is it impossible to convincingly reverse the effects of aging by tightening skin and re-sculpting?
