What Is the Best Age for a Facelift?

The condition of your skin plays a tremendous role in projecting a vibrant, youthful facial appearance. However, decades of sun exposure, gravity, and the daily stresses of life can accelerate the aging process, and lead to the onset of fine lines and wrinkles. Over time, these can develop into permanent facial folds and creases.

A facelift, medically referred to as rhytidectomy, is performed to improve the visible signs of aging in the face and neck. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ronald Schuster offers a variety of advanced facelift techniques to tighten loose skin, smooth wrinkles, lift underlying tissue and restore lost volume to facial areas that need it.

Is There an Ideal Age for a Facelift?

A before and after image of one of Dr. Schuster's Baltimore facelift patientsSimply put: no. Because everyone ages differently, there is no specific age that is most ideal to have facelift surgery. In many instances, women and men in their 40s, 50s, and 60s are excellent candidates for facelift surgery. However, as long as you are in stable health and meet the criteria for surgery, age isn’t a factor. Generally speaking, if you experience signs of aging that are too severe to be corrected with non-surgical treatments like BOTOX® Cosmetic or dermal fillers, a facelift may be appropriate.

Rather than focusing on a specific age, look for the following signs of aging when considering the best time to seek a facelift:

  • Deep folds or creases around your nose or mouth
  • Sagging skin and fat on the face
  • Jowls
  • “Turkey neck” or double chin
  • Banding in the neck

The best way to determine if a facelift or other facial plastic surgery procedure is right for you is to meet personally with board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ronald Schuster in a confidential consultation at our office. During your initial consult, Dr. Schuster will examine your facial condition, explain all of your treatment options, and recommend the approach that best achieves your individual goals.
