What Age Is Best for a Facelift?

Facelift surgery is highly beneficial for those wanting to reverse moderate to severe signs of facial aging. Though many women and men are familiar with the benefits of the procedure, they often wonder whether they are the right age for the procedure—or if they need to consider an alternative option.

In short, there is no ideal age for facelift surgery. Every patient ages in a unique way and at a different rate, which is why facelift surgery is custom-tailored for each individual. Candidates for facelift surgery typically share one or more of the following cosmetic concerns:

• Fine line and facial wrinkles
• Skin laxity
• Loss of facial volume
• Sagging skin at the jawline (jowls)

Since good candidates can range from as young as their 30s all the way to their 60s and beyond, you should schedule a consultation with an experienced plastic surgeon to determine if the procedure is right for you. After a physical exam of your face and neck, a thorough discussion of your goals, and a review of your medical history, your plastic surgeon can determine your candidacy for this procedure.
