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?

Answer 1

There’s changes to the bone structure underneath. So plastic surgery can make you look “good for a 60yo” but it can never make you look 30 again.
