I notice most people get their first lift at around age 60..but isn't that really too late? It seems the younger the better as the sagging and deep lines can be targeted early and prevent them from developing and getting worse. Do any surgeons find this to be true? Thanks!
Answer: No Perfect Age for Facelift You're right to suggest that waiting to undergo facelift until physical aging is advanced is not ideal. However, it's important to note that each person is different. Genetics and a host of lifestyle factors can determine the rate at which we age -- so while 60 may be too late for some, it may be right in the "sweet spot" for others. I hope this answers your question.

Answer: What age is best for a facelift?
While there is no ideal age for a facelift, patients who are younger or who have less severe facial aging do tend to get more complete improvement or correction from facelift procedures where sometimes no signs of facial aging are apparent following a mini facelift, endoscopic forehead and midfacelift or deep plane facelift. The patients of more advanced age with more facial aging with poor skin turgor/elasticity usually require skin resurfacing like laser, chemical peel or dermabrasion in addition to full facial surgery to optimize their results and approach their goals.

Answer: What age should I get my first Facelift? There is no set age. It is when you start thinking about it that you should go for a consultation. It is true that the best and longest lasting results are on patients who tend to be younger with healthier skin. The results tend to be more lasting in younger groups (up to 18 years), and shorter but more dramatic in older patients (on average about 12 years). You will always look younger by about 12-15 years.

Answer: It depends on many factors That’s a great question! Genetics and your personal lifestyle are the greatest factors in facial aging. Regardless of age, a person with facial skin laxity and volume loss may be a good candidate for a facelift. Some people prefer to have even mild aging changes treated surgically or non-surgically, starting in their 30s or 40s, while others wait until their 50s or later. The sooner you begin your facial rejuvenation journey, the better. In your youth, skincare is a priority. Then you may consider nonsurgical options such as fillers or neurotoxins. When you finally decide on surgery, you will have a better result if you’ve been taking care of your skin since your youth. From a medical standpoint, while most patients who have a facelift are in their 50s and 60s, there is no age limit for this procedure. A patient who goes through early menopause or a massive weight loss journey may benefit from a facelift in their early 40s, while a healthy and active 80-year-old may still be a good surgical candidate. Your surgeon will base your personal timetable on your goals, circumstances, and health. As always, I advise patients to choose a board-certified plastic surgeon experienced in facial surgery and find someone you connect with and trust. Good Luck!

Answer: Best age for a Facelift The most appropriate time to consider a facelift is when premature sagging or skin excess visible on your face, neck or brow starts to impair your self-esteem and confidence. This is usually between the ages of 40 and 65 years, but it may be earlier or later. Once these changes have set in, there are a number of logical reasons why it is beneficial to perform surgery earlier rather than unnecessarily delay it. This is because delaying surgery can cause unnecessary loss of skin texture in the future and becomes a concern, or, when delayed, the surgery required becomes more involved and anaesthesia can become more of a risk. Performing surgery earlier means that the required changes will be more subtle
