How should I explain what I want during a lifting consultation to get a natural result?

I'm thinking of getting a lift for the first time, and honestly, the hardest part is explaining the look I want in words haha.

I don't want my face to look too pulled tight, and just saying "please make it look natural" seems too vague. On the other hand, taking a celebrity's photo and asking them to do it like that wouldn't be meaningful either, since it's different from my face.

I just wish my facial features looked a little more defined, like in my old photos.

So I'm thinking of taking a photo from a few years ago and a recent one together and explaining that I'm bothered by this difference in vibe haha.

Does showing past photos actually help during a lifting consultation?

I am also wondering if it would be good to show my profile or photos taken by others, in addition to just a frontal photo.

What I want most is not to make my face look smaller, but to maintain my original impression while looking a little less tired and more tidy.

On the other hand, I also intend to clearly state the negative outcomes I would like to avoid. I want to avoid my cheeks looking too sunken, my face shape suddenly changing, or people around me noticing it immediately.

Would it be more helpful to determine the direction of the lifting procedure if I discuss both what I want and what I don't like in this way?

And if I get recommendations for something different from what I had in mind during the consultation, it would be okay to think it over before deciding rather than getting the procedure done right away, right?

Since this is my first lifting procedure, I don't want to rush it.

For those of you who have received a lifting procedure, how did you explain it during the consultation to achieve the most satisfactory results?

Please let me know if you prepared photos or explained it verbally, and also what specific points you would like to mention if you were to have another consultation now :)
