Ideal candidates for a facelift are individuals who wish to address signs of aging in the lower face and neck, such as sagging skin, deep folds, and loss of muscle tone. Typically, candidates are in their 40s to 70s, with skin that still retains some elasticity. Good candidates are in overall good health, do not smoke, and have realistic expectations about the outcomes of surgery. A facelift can rejuvenate the appearance by restoring a more youthful contour to the face and neck, but it’s important to consult with a qualified surgeon to determine if this procedure aligns with your aesthetic goals and medical history.
