Face lift
I had a F/L in P{rague, It cost about £4,500 . I had SMAS and an endoscopically assisted neck lift. I am 54. Results at 8 months pretty good, no jowels no baggy neck.
At 5 months P.O. i was still puffy faced and looked about 25 which was fab.
It has all settled down now and I would say I look in late 30s early forties max. but neck still young looking and no jowels. The only downside to my surgery was horrible scarring. I have pale delicate skin and tendancy to ruddiness with sun damage. I think thats why my scarring, around ears and along hairline is so bad. I am returning to Prague in a few weeks for revision to a bad "pleat" in front of my r. ear.
Also I have a nasty bald patch in the temple region where the hair failed to grow back after surgery. I think the right side of my face has slackened too, as there seems to be more skin on that side than the left.
There are many downsides to having a facelift, I think primarily you need to read lots of other peoples experiences and facelift diaries. That will give you a good idea of what to expect. Puffyness, odd pains, numbness, sitting upright to sleep, black bruises that fade to purple, and yellow, asymmetries etc etc. All this is just par for the course with even a good surgeon, as mine is, but plastic surgery is an art as well as a science.
