Candidates for a Facelift:The best results from facelifts are experienced by patients whose face and neck have started to sag or droop, but whose skin still retains some of its elasticity, and whose bone structure is well-defined. Patients who are expecting the facelift to define the cheekbones may need to be consulted on cheek implants. Most patients range between 40 and 60 years of age, but facelifts have been successful on people in seventies and eighties. Individuals under the age of 40 should give careful thought before having the procedure. Younger patients may not see the results that older patients see simply because they have fewer wrinkles and greater skin elasticity. However, some people who have lost excessive amounts of weight, or have genetic problems may want a consult on the procedure. It is important to consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who will set realistic expectations on improvements the procedure will provide.
