When to consider a facelift
We commonly see people wanting facelifts when they look older than they feel. When the effects of gravity, sun exposure and the stresses of daily life can be seen in their faces and they don't like it. Deep creases form between the nose and mouth; the jaw line grows slack and jowly; folds and fat deposits appear around the neck. The facelift is the overall answer to the aging face, it can "set back the
clock". What our patients like is the years a facelift takes off their face
but they still have the wisdom they have gained during those years.
The best candidates for a facelift is a man or woman whose face and neck have begun to sag, but whose skin still has some elasticity and whose bone structure is strong and well defined. A facelift can make you look younger and fresher, and it may enhance
your self-confidence in the process. We are seeing more and more working
women getting facelifts because they are hoping to maintain that
youthful appearance for their jobs.
