I Am 76 Years Old, Can I Get A Facelift?

There is no absolute age ceiling for having a face lift as long as your general health is good.  If skin quality is poor you may also need laser resurfacing and possibly fat grafting to achieve the best result.

The question is not whether you are too old, but instead, how healthy are you?  Chronological age can me much different than a patient's physical and mental age.  I have had 60 year old patients that look and feel 80 years old and visa versa.  The important issue is how good your health is and how your recovery will be?  This is usually best answered by a good physical exam by your surgeon and a medical clearance exam from your primary care physician.  There are always risks and dangers with surgery, but age doesn't necessarily have to be one of them.  In general, facelifts are best performed on 50-60 year olds.  Expect a facelift to cost between $8000-13000 depending on additional procedures and extent of surgery.Good luck.
