Q/A: What is the best age for a facelift?

While there is no ideal age for a facelift, patients who are younger or who have less severe facial aging do tend to get more complete improvement or correction from facelift procedures where sometimes no signs of facial aging are apparent following a mini facelift, endoscopic forehead and midfacelift or deep plane facelift. The patients of more advanced age with more facial aging with poor skin turgor/elasticity usually require skin resurfacing like laser, chemical peel or dermabrasion in addition to full facial surgery to optimize their results and approach their goals.
