What Age is Recommended for a Chin and Jowel Lift? I' M 43 Years Old
At what age is a facelift recommnded for a chin and frown line lift? I'm 43 years old and have always been about 5'8" and pretty slender. This is definitely a heriditary issue, Are there any dr.'s that are good but also not as expensive? I read somwhere that the sagging neck works better when you get older, but I have quite an insecurity about this now. Any advice would be truly appreciated.I've always felt un attractive and was tormented by kids in school. Please. advice would really help.

Best age for a lift
It is not uncommon for women to seek face lift surgery in their 40‘s. If you feel that you are ready for surgery and your surgeons feels that you are a good candidate , then there is no need to wait until you are in your 50’s or 60’s. In fact the younger you are typically the nicer the result after surgery and you will enjoy the benefits while you are still young.

Face Lift
You should treat a condition, not one specific for an age. Consult with your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and they will direct your choices. A Board Certified Plastic Surgeon has to complete a significant amount of additional training to be called a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, and this is what you are paying for, the training to deal with the diversity of issues each and every unique patient presents with.

Facelift - What Age is Recommended for a Chin and Jowel Lift?
It's not the age, it's the anatomy. You can, of course, generalize - the older the patient the more likely the patient will have the anatomy that justifies a procedure such as this. Age 43 is already an age where a certain number of people considering facelifts will have the anatomy that warrants that procedure. If you have excess skin of your face and lower neck, jowls, etc - then it's reasonable at least to consider the procedure. You should probably...

Clearly good pictures would help. I just today saw a lady asking the same questions. If you have the problem go ahead chronalogical age has very little to do with it. A good procedure is a triple win. You look better right now, your aging curve is not changed, [that is genetic] and if you ever want another lift you are better prepared.

Facelift has no "Specific" age requirement
Many patients believe that there is a specific age at which they would be a candidate for a facelift operation. The truth of the matter is that there is no “specific” age at which every patient becomes a candidate for a facelift. Everyone ages at a different rate. Hereditary factors are the most important when making a decision. Some patients will begin to see some laxity of the cheek and neck tissue at a very early age. Part of the reason may be due...

Right Age for a Facelift is Changing
The right age for a facelift depends on the patient, the doctor, and the type of facelift you choose. Patients are definitely starting earlier as a maintenance and prevention strategy. Patients enjoy creating a more youthful, refreshed appearance, and you also create a scar tissue layer under the skin which makes it more firm and resistant to the constant pull of gravity.
If you like what you see when you pull in the mirror, then you are probably a good candidate to have a...

Facelift Timing
There is no defined age for having a facelift and necklift done. Every person is unique. Depending on your goals, you may opt for a more conservative approach to achieve a natural and balanced appearance. I would recommend seeking a board certified facial plastic surgeon who can best address your concerns.

No "Best Age" for a Face, Chin, or Jowl Lift
Deenie- Thanks for the questions! Overall, there is no set age for a facelift. You should consider a facelift if non-surgical procedures aren't working for you, and if you are willing to undergo surgical recovery to get the maximal result.
Regarding "good but not expensive" doctors, I woudl consider searching your local community for Board Certified Plastic Surgeons, talking to them, talking to patients, and pick the person you're most...

What is the Proper Age for a Facelift?
There is truly no "proper" age to entertain the idea of undergoing a Facelift. I tell patients that "the mirror" will provide you with the best estimate. In the early 40's it is not uncommon to see signs of aging in the form of mild sagging of the neck skin, and the early formation of "jowls". A Facelift targets the lower third of the face, specifically the jowls and neck. In this age group, a "mini-lift" combined with a...

No set age for Face Lift
I have performed Face Lifts for over 20 years and there is no set age limit for Face Lifts. If you have Jowls, then you are age appropriate. If the nasolabial folds are also full, then micro-lipo could be used to thin these out removing excess fatty tissue. It's always a good idea, aesthetically, to have your Cheeks evaluated as thy support the tissues, of the face. Cheek Augmentation can be accomplished by using cheek Implants or fillers like Perlane or...
