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

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?

In addition to all the other good answers I can see, I also want to point out the survivorship bias inherent in your question–if someone gets a really good facelift that DOESN’T look unnatural, you probably wouldn’t realize that you’re looking at someone who’s had a facelift. You only notice the people who have not-so-natural looking facelifts.
