It’s not your age that determines whether you are ready for facial rejuvenation—it’s how you feel about the visible signs of facial aging. Both women and men are choosing to undergo non-surgical and surgical facial rejuvenation procedures at an earlier age to help them keep looking as vital and energetic as they feel.
One of the reasons why facial rejuvenation procedures performed at a younger age often achieve the best results is that the facial tissues are in better condition. As we age, our skin becomes less elastic and more prone to stretching and sagging. The individual having a facelift at age 60 is likely to have a greater amount of excess skin to be removed and may also need more extensive work done on the deeper tissues as well.
What is the right time for a facelift? The right time for you to have a facelift depends on a variety of factors. The first consideration is whether you really need a lift. If you are primarily bothered by fine wrinkling and sun damage, and you have no facial sagging or excess fat in your neck, then chances are that Microdermabrasion, Radiesse®, Botox® or Restalyne® may be the answer for you.
When you come in for your consultation, I may recommend a brow lift, eyelid surgery or both to correct sagging brows, excess skin and fatty deposits in the upper and lower eyelids. If you also have sagging in the middle or lower portions of your face, then these procedures can be combined with a facelift to create harmony among all your facial features.
As a board certified plastic surgeon, I am trained to expertly evaluate physical characteristics that can influence your facial rejuvenation results. I can advise you on whether performing a non-invasive procedure will improve your facial appearance or whether one or more surgical procedures are necessary in order to maintain your overall facial harmony. At whatever age you decide to undergo facial rejuvenation procedures, the ultimate goal is to restore a more youthful, rested and refreshed appearance.
