How old is too old for a successful neck/lower face lift?

Thanks for the question. There's no age limit or ideal age for Neck Lift. However, patients must be over 18 years of age.

It really comes down to the health of a patient over the age. In addition to a required one-on-one consultation with a board certified Plastic Surgeon, patients always need to be seen by their primary care doctor prior to such procedures.  Every patient is screened for risks of blood clots (DVT) and then take appropriate measures.If cleared by your doctor, you may want to consider Lite-lift™ which is an affordable, quick, and effective innovative facelift developed by board-certified plastic surgeons Dr. Larry Nichter and myself. The goal of the #LiteLift is to provide a less invasive natural looking option for both men and women desiring to refresh their appearance with less downtime and risks. The LiteLift® is a “real” facelift, which does address the underlying muscle, tissue and overlying skin.This is a modified facelift that can be performed in the office with a local anesthetic and improve signs of aging around the neck, jawbone and lower face. These procedures are not "Thread-lifts" or "String-lifts". We do not use the "barbed" sutures employed in these other lifting operations. The Lite-lift™ uses longer lasting techniques. Because the incisions are limited, there is less bruising, swelling and healing time for most patients. Many patients can be back to work in one to two weeks looking rested and more youthful.The best candidates for #LiteLift are non-smoking patients 35-60 years old with stable skin elasticity, well-defined bone structure but showing early changes of the lower face and the neck. Older patients who cannot or do not wish to have a longer operation or general anesthetic can be improved with a Lite Lift™. All in all, Lite Lift™ surgery is individualized for each patient. Consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon is important to ensure you are receiving the best advice, care, and surgical experience possible. In some cases your plastic surgeon may give you more than one option to choose from.

Hello.  There really is no age limit to a lower face/neck lift.  The more important question is your health.  A face/neck lift is an elective surgery and one needs to be in good health in order to tolerate the surgery.  If you're seriously considering the surgery, you should find a qualified surgeon who will go over your health history and discuss what he/she can do to help.  Take care.
