What is the best age for this procedure ?
Patients often ask when is the best age to have a facelift. The answer is simple, everyone is unique, and so the best time for you to have a facelift is whenever you are ready for one, provided that you are otherwise a suitable patient.
Facelift patients generally fall into two age groups. The first group, in their 30s-40s, often notice early signs of aging in the lower face, such as deepening nasolabial folds, slight skin laxity, or changes in the chin-neck angle, sometimes exacerbated by weight loss or post-pregnancy changes. The second group, aged 50-80, are active individuals who feel youthful inside but want their appearance to reflect that. They seek facelifts to refresh their look, enhance confidence, and maintain a vibrant presence in their personal and professional lives, typically recovering well and resuming normal activities within weeks.
How is a Face and neck lift performed ?
The Face and Neck Lift Procedure
Medically known as a rhytidectomy, a facelift is a surgical procedure, in which the superficial tissues are manipulated, tailored and fixed to a new, higher position with permanent sutures. The aim of this procedure, is to improve the overall look of the face, by lifting skin and subcutaneous tissues which may have become lax and sagging due to various factors such as ageing and gravity.
