What is a Facelift?

A facelift, also known as rhytidectomy, is a facial rejuvenation surgery that can turn back the hands of time by addressing various visible signs of aging in the face and neck. This procedure is designed to lift sagging skin, tighten facial muscles, and improve the overall contour of the face.

During a facelift, the surgeon makes incisions around the hairline and ears to detach the skin from the underlying facial structures. The deeper facial tissues are then tightened and lifted to appear more youthful.

Best Candidates for Facelift Surgery

The ideal candidates for a facelift are those who are in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the outcome of the surgery. These individuals may be experiencing visible signs of aging, such as sagging skin, deep smile lines, wrinkles, and jowls.

While some people may consider a facelift in their 40s to address early signs of aging, others may wait until their 50s or 60s, when more significant age-related changes become apparent.

While chronological age is a factor, it’s just one consideration in determining candidacy for the procedure. Candidacy is also determined by skin elasticity and overall health rather than age alone.
