We can all come up with examples of celebrity facelifts gone wrong, but it’s a little more challenging to come up with examples of facelifts done right – that’s because a well performed facelift can be hard to detect. For some celebrities, their facelifts are so natural looking that we simply think it’s genetics. Here are seven celebrities who have admitted to having had a facelift and what makes for stunning results when it comes to selecting a board-certified facial plastic surgeon.

What is a Facelift?

A facelift is a cosmetic procedure aimed at smoothing signs of aging and lifting the face to a more upright and youthful position. Although more non-surgical facelift alternatives are available than ever, the facelift remains the most effective way to remove years from the facial profile.

8 Celebrity Facelifts Worth Knowing About

Celebrities and facelifts tend to go hand-in-hand, but not all of them are good examples of what the facelift can do. Here are eight of the best celebrity facelifts and what it can mean for your own cosmetic procedure.

Kris Jenner

Kris Jenner has been up front about her cosmetic surgeries and procedures, even undergoing a facelift and neck lift on Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Not shy about her love for Botox, she may be one of the best examples of how a facelift can achieve a naturally refreshed look, especially paired with procedures like the neck lift.

Marc Jacobs

Fashion designer Marc Jacobs’ facelift journey was well documented on social media and a breath of fresh air when it comes to talking about plastic surgery. The most unique part about Marc Jacobs’ transformation is he underwent the deep plane facelift, a relatively new technique and well deserving of the attention it brought.

Courtney Love

Singer Courtney Love admitted to undergoing what was likely a mini facelift at age 35, a relatively young age as far as facelift patients go. Still, the results definitely show even today and are a testament to the benefits of “prejuvenation,” or preventive rejuvenation – a phenomenon which has only recently become mainstream.

Sonja Morgan

Real Housewives of New York star Sonja Morgan is another testament to the incredible results of the deep plane facelift and MADE facelift techniques. With significant jowls and neck laxity beforehand, Sonja Morgan easily removed a decade of aging with a much more sculpted jawline and reduction in cheek sagging.

Gene Simmons

Musician Gene Simmons may be an inspiration for men considering stepping into the world of cosmetic surgery. His facelift is an example of successfully getting rid of jowls and neck sagging for a younger look. However, he has been a supporter of the idea that plastic surgery isn’t for everyone – that what technique works for one person won’t always work for another – and that personalized results are always the goal.

Vicki Gunvalson

Real Housewives of Orange County star Vicki Gunvalson opted to get rid of facial fillers and instead undergo a facelift and neck lift combination to get rid of sagging neck skin. The results are noticeable, with less jowls and a more defined jawline. Additionally, her face looks fuller and more rejuvenated, without the gauntness that can occur with aging.

Jane Fonda

Actress Jane Fonda is a testimonial to the subtle and natural-looking results that can be achieved with a facelift. She also primarily attributes her youthful look to lifestyle habits like avoiding sun and staying moisturized.
