Thank you for the question. It is definitely not too late to consider a facelift at age 74. What matters most is your overall health. As long as you are in good health and are active, it is reasonable to consider a facelift. I would recommend consultation with a board certified facial plastic surgeon who can help you make the decision if it is right for you.
Hello 74 years young! I love your attitude. Many factors go into the decision of who is a good candidate for a facelift. Age is just one of them. Other factors include:1) What are you trying to improve? Facelifts are most effective in improving jawline jowels and central neck laxity. If these are your chief concerns, there will be a higher chance of success w the procedure2) How is your health in general? The age 74 can mean very different things in different people. A relatively healthy 74 age is certainly not a contraindication to surgery in my book. A discussion with your primary care doctor who knows your general health story the best would likely be useful here. 3) Will this be a revision or primary surgery. Facelifts for the first time generally are easier and more predictable than a revision.Hope this helps and regardless what you choose, keep that young spirit!
