Do Facelifts Have More Longevity Than Other Types of Procedures?
What other procedures can have about as much longevity as facelifts? Is there an optimal time to have a facelift to ensure longer lasting results? Would it be better to get a lift at 55 instead of 65?

Facelift surgery vs. non-surgical options
This is a difficult question to answer because it is very broad. There are different types of facelifts for example subperiosteal, mini etc. Most of the facelifts done today are actually only different parts of what we used to consider a facelift to be. That is because people in general now get facelifts at an earlier age. Since everyone ages differently and their facial parts age at different rates the procedures have to be individualized. For example the person who has more advanced aging...

I would absolutely suggest that if a facelift is something you are considering, you consider having it done earlier rather than later. At age 55, your overall health and ability to recover from any kind of surgical procedure is better--wound healing is better and the risks are lower.
More importantly, after having facelift surgery, you will always look better than you did if you didn't have the facelift surgery performed. As a result, it seems more sensible to have the procedure done...

Longevity of Facelifts
Longevity of facelifts, is in general, 7-10 years depending on the type of procedure. If you do a deep layer facelift, Lift & Fill, they definitely last longer versus a skin lift alone. It is not necessarily age dependent. However, at an earlier age perhaps in your 50’s, your facelift will have more longevity because the skin tone and elasticity is much better.

Longevity of a facelift
First of all, the best time to get a facelift is the time when you are most motivated and most interested in looking better. This could be at age 55 or could be at age 65. I think that essentially the more the effort made to rejuvenate the face, the longer lasting the result, the better the result. Less invasive procedures than a facelift will generally not provide as good result nor as long lasting result. These include treatments such as Thermage, Feather lift or...

Do Facelifts Have More Longevity Than Other Types of Procedures? face Lifts do moer, or at least the one's that work do...they tighten the SMAS, remove excess fat and skin and shape the face. Longevity of results is most often measured by the continued aesthetic improvement to the face but for that to happen, the proper aesthetic judgement must have been exercised during the Face Lift.

Facelift soon after the aging changes appear has its advantages
In a survey of patients having facelift surgery, the overall satisfaction rate was high. Those who had the procedure later in their life, added comments that they wished they would have had the facelift earlier. In my experience, these are some common themes I hear from my patients:
The early starters said that their adjustment in their social sphere was easier
Starting sooner allowed them to age gracefully
If you have only one facelift, do it earlier...

Longevity of facelift
The longevity of a facelift is typically 10 years. Women who get facelifts in their early 50's typically will need another facelift in their 60's. Women who wait until their late 50s to early 60's will typically only need one facelift.

Facelift timing
It is important to have an evaluation by a plastic surgeon to dertmine if you are a good candidate for a facelift. The best time to have a facelift is determined by many factors. In general, cheek, jowl, and neck laxity are signs that a facelift may be beneficial. The age when this laxity occurs will differ for each patient.

Longevity of facelift
The longevity of a facelift depends on several factors including the patients skin type, age, medical condition, smoking history etc. In general few patients need a revision for about 10 years. The age for facelifts has dropped over the past several years because people want to age more gradually without huge changes. Donald R. Nunn MD Atlanta Plastic Surgeon.

Facelifts
There are no other operations or procedures that last as long as a facelift. However, adding other procedures to a facelift will compl;iment the results( i.e fillers, fat grafting, facial peels, etc..)
