What Age Is Best for a Facelift?

October 1, 2018

A facelift surgery is an excellent way to get rid of deep wrinkles and sagging skin around your lower face. Most likely, you already have preconceived ideas about who is best able to receive a facelift. You may believe they are only for people of a certain socioeconomic status or for very old individuals who have very lined faces. However, you may be surprised to learn that a facelift may very well be a good option for you.

If you are unhappy with how your face looks right now, you may want to consider a facelift. With a facelift, you can get excess skin surgically removed so that it no longer appears as if it is hanging from your cheeks, your jowls or your chin. At the same time, the newly stretched skin and revamped underlying tissues will be stretched flat so that you do not have deep-set wrinkles through your cheeks or around your nose or mouth.

Consult Dr. Tavoussi Regarding Facelift Cosmetic Procedures

Dr. Tavoussi will look at many factors when he determines whether or not you are a good candidate for a facelift. For example, he will look at how healthy your skin is and how elastic it is. He will also determine if you have lost volume in your face.

However, one important factor is your age. People of all ages have received facelifts in the past. Despite this, there is a range that is considered to be best for facelifts, and that is between the age of 45 to 50. This is considered to be the best age because you will still have good skin tone and the wrinkles will not be so deeply set into your skin. If you are 60, you are still at a good age because your skin will be fairly lax at this point but will benefit greatly from a lift.

Of course, age is about more than just a number. Your genetics and your lifestyle choices have a great deal to say about how well your skin ages. Some people reach their 60s and 70s with very few wrinkles on their faces while others are developing sagging skin by their 40s or 50s. Your best option is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Tavoussi who will be able to examine your skin and tell you if a facelift is an excellent option to help you feel more youthful.
