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?

I actually read an article about this a while back and the answer is, aging does not just cause a wrinkling and sagging to the skin but changes in underlying support structures. In addition to breakdown of our collagen and thinning of subcutaneous fat, we lose bone mass in our face as we age and this loss can be substantial.
