Is a Facelift Right For Me?

 

Should I get a facelift?

The client motivations for getting a Facelift are many and varied. The skin on your face can lose its elasticity for a number of reasons, and wrinkles can form as a result. Skin elasticity is often impacted by:

  • Weight loss
  • Excess sun damage
  • Prolonged smoking
  • Excess drinking
  • Hereditary factors
  • Stress.

By tightening underlying facial muscles and removing or redistributing sagging skin, Surgeons can smooth out the skin and contour of the face.

Before any Facelift surgery, it’s important that you have realistic expectations around your surgery, your recovery and results. Equally important is that you are healthy, and are at and able to maintain your ideal weight as any future weight loss or gain will negatively impact your results.

Am I a Suitable Facelift Candidate?

 

Is a Facelift right for me?

Suitable Facelift candidates often present with:

  • Deep lines or creases (particularly near the mouth and nose)
  • Sagging cheeks/the development of jowls
  • Double chin
  • Folds in the neck skin

We typically find that the best Facelift results are tend to be on those with defined bone structure, despite the excess skin. If you’re unsure if a Facelift is right for you, simply complete our free online assessment. 

Am I too Old For a Facelift?

 

What is the most common age for a facelift?

The most common age for a Facelift are typically men and women aged between 40 to 65 years old. Although reduced, we find that typically at this age, our clients still have some remaining skin elasticity. While Facelifts can be performed on clients aged in their 70s and 80s; the results may be compromised by reduced skin elasticity and bone structure.

Overall, you can expect your results to reduce brow drooping and facial folds, tightened the jawline, and smooth the skin around the neck. Importantly, creases and wrinkles may still be present; however, they will be less visible.
