When Is the Best Age to Get a Facelift?

It is natural to want to look your best at any age. Many patients are interested in facelifts to ensure they look young and revitalized. You may wonder what the best age is to get a facelift. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Narasimhan and his team of experts can help you determine when the best time for this procedure is.

What a Facelift Does

A facelift is a surgical procedure that is designed to create a youthful and rejuvenated appearance. During the procedure, a flap of skin is pulled back from either side of your face. Surgery for a facelift elevates the skin and tightens tissues and muscles. Incisions will depend on the specifics of your procedure. Fat can be sculpted, removed, or moved. Then the skin is redraped over the new contours of your face. Excess skin is removed, and incisions are taped or stitched closed. A facelift can address:

  • Sagging cheeks
  • Drooping skin along the jawline
  • Wrinkled or sagging skin
  • Deep skin folds along your nose or along the corners of your mouth

Paired with a neck lift, this procedure can also alleviate sagging skin or fat along your neck.

Dr. Narasimhan will help you decide if a facelift will meet the goals you have for your appearance and determine when the best age for the procedure is. If you decide now is the right time for a facelift, our team will explain the process in detail so you will know what to expect. The procedure is customized for each patient based on their unique needs.

Best Age for a Facelift

The right age for a facelift depends on your individual anatomy and genetics. Everyone ages differently, so there is no single answer. A board-certified plastic surgeon such as Dr. Narasimhan will help you determine the right time for you to undergo a facelift.

In the past, the youngest candidates for a facelift have been in their late 40s. Patients younger than that may not have enough skin laxity for a facelift. It is also important to avoid undergoing a facelift too early so you do not need another one in the future.

You do not have to make the decision of when to receive a facelift on your own. The team at Narasimhan Plastic Surgery will partner with you to determine if it is too early or an ideal time for this procedure.
