What are the expected results after a facelift?

I am currently considering a facelift and would like to hear from those who have actually undergone the surgery. I am curious to know how the face changed after the operation, as well as what aspects were satisfactory or unsatisfactory. In particular, I would like to know if you noticed improvements in skin elasticity or wrinkle reduction after recovery. I would also appreciate advice on post-operative care and pain management. I look forward to hearing valuable information from those with experience.
