Is it harder to get a good result over age 60 when you have a facelift? They seem to be more effective on younger people

The desire
and age of facial rejuvenation is not determined
so much by your age, but your genetics and health. Facial rejuvenation is commonly
done in patients over the age of 60. You will have excellent results if done in the hands of a Board Certified Plastic
Surgeon with expertise in facial rejuvenation and one who understands the
science of aging.

Everyone ages differently, so when looking at facelift candidates and assessing their potential facelift results, I focus less on the age of the patient and more on how the patient's face has aged. Good candidates for a facelift include those who are experiencing sagging skin on the face or jawline, volume loss, deep lines or creases, or creases and folds on the neck. However, with age the elasticity of skin reduces, which may limit the best outcomes, but overall you can still expect very good results.

You should consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon who has expertise in facelift procedures so he can examine your face and give you a more detailed answer as to what sort of results you can expect from surgery. An experienced facial plastic surgeon should be able to provide you with significant improvements. Additionally, it is important to take care of your skin and face after your facelift to slow the future signs of aging down. After surgery your face will start the aging process again, so if you take care of your skin with a good skin care routine and daily sunscreen, you can slow down the process.
