I have no problem with it. So, yes, I would buy from someone selling that has had a face lift.

It's ok with me as long as they're honest and tell us. I really believe they use their own products to keep the results the lifts have given them. They learn and hopefully let us in on what we can do to never NEED a facelift!

Just because you have a facelift doesn't mean you don't have to continue using facial products.  I would purchase products from someone who's had a facelift.

I would purchase from them if I like the product.

 

However, I think they should disclose if they had a face lift. If they don’t they are making the inference that their skin looks a certain way because of the product.

A facelift may improve some sagging and muscle, but if the skin is wrinkled, spotted, etc., it will all still be there when the facelift heals.

 

Most surgeons will put you on a strict skincare routine for months before surgery so you're not disappointed with the results. Deep wrinkles and red or brown areas would have to be lasered or the use of fillers. 

 

Skincare is always important no matter who's selling it. I always say Buyer Beware. Do your homework on ingredients and be realistic about what products will not do even if they promise lifting, increase volume, etc. They cannot do that.

I have tried so many products to get rid of crows feet and none of them have worked.  I'm so tired of a certain host going on and on about being 61 and using certain eye products. I'm 73 and my eyes don't look half as bad as hers.  Hosts have multitudes of products at their disposal.  If the products worked they wouldn't have any wrinkles!

Why would a product have anything to do with a face-lift??

 

"Power of association"  as it's called in the advertising industry. One thing has nothing to do with the other yet people see them together and assume they are connected somehow.


THIS.

Hopefully we all learned back in the days of magazine advertisements that we are not going to look like the young beautiful and airbrushed models. We're not all going to look like the YouTubers we watch, a lot of who have skin filters added. Genetics and staying out of the Sun or protecting yourself from the Sun are probably the two biggest advantages of younger looking skin. And..  hydration hydration hydration.  I own one sunspot and it's about the size of a half of a small pee and on the back of my hand. Everything I put on my face, I put on my hands. It is not gotten lighter but it is not gotten darker or larger. I guess I'm going to have to live with it.  But of course advertisers are going to use beautiful models. Who would buy skin care from a haggard wrinkled sales rep? No one. Forget what the sales rep looks like and Google the Skin Care ingredients to see if they are valid and fit your needs.  I'm sure all of you knew this anyway.

WOW ! i love all the answers and opinions to my crazy question. I intially asked this because I saw Dr. Denese on the beauty show the other night and it's obvious she has had facial reconstruction, please don't read anything into this, I have nothing against any type of facial work, if that's your thing kudos to you. Anyways, I see soooo many different beauty products and wonder to myself, if these products are so great why would they even need facial reconstruction ? Yes I have used many products over the years hoping for a miracle but it is what it is. I'm 72 yrs old and my complexion looks pretty good, if I say so myself, thanks to all those product and healthy eating.
