Whether we know it or not, our brains recognize patterns as familiar or unfamiliar.  If we drive past a snowman in July we might not know what we just saw but something will strike us as weird.  The same thing happens if we see a person with young beautiful eyes and an old mouth with jowls.  We might not realize what looks wrong, but our brains recognize the pattern as unfamiliar.

The problem can be a result of patient’s shopping for procedures rather than asking the doctor what combination of procedures would help most. Obviously financial constraints may limit the surgery that someone can have at any point.  However, trying to focus the procedures to the areas that need them most so that a discordant look is not created can go a long way toward preventing this unwanted outcome.
