Many patients that consider plastic surgery after seeing signs of aging typically wonder if they are “too young” or “too old” to get a facelift. We often hear, “What is the best age to get a facelift?” While facelifts are commonly performed on patients in their mid 50s, the simple answer is there isn’t a specific age that is best for a facelift! Let’s dive into this topic further with the help of our plastic surgeon, Dr. Ashkan Afshari!
Why do people typically consider a facelift?
A facelift is a surgical procedure that can successfully address signs of aging such as deep lines, wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin. There are a variety of techniques that can be tailored to specifically address your needs and rejuvenate your appearance!
What is the best age to get a facelift?
According to our plastic surgeon, Dr. Ashkan Afshari, he doesn’t believe that there is a particular age that is most appropriate to get a facelift. While facelifts are most commonly performed on patients in their mid 50s, our team has performed facelifts on patients in their early 40s… and even on patients in their late 70s and 80s!
We would never recommend a facelift simply because a patient falls within a specific age range. We all age at different rates, so rather than considering a facelift based on your age… we recommend considering a facelift only if you are unhappy with signs of facial aging. Don’t worry if you think it’s “too early” or “too late” to get a facelift. We’re here to discuss your options ❤️
