Should I get a Facelift before Age 50

When you think about getting a facelift, you probably assume this type of surgical procedure isn’t necessary until past age 50 or 60. But, ideally, candidates between the ages of 40-50 years old still have skin elasticity that leads to better results following a facelift. Female plastic surgeon in Manhattan Dr. B. Aviva Preminger wants you to know why getting a facelift before age 50 may be the right choice for you. And, if you are younger than 40 and want to regain a more youthful appearance, we’ve got some tips for you, too!

Why a facelift before age 50?

Let’s first begin by saying that deciding when the best time is to receive a facelift should be a decision that is made between you and your NYC plastic surgeon. Ideally, the right candidate for a facelift is someone that has aging, loose, or sagging skin on the face, and that also is in good overall health. Also, facelifts can be for women or men!

While a facelift can help restore a more youthful appearance even if conducted at age 60+, results are better and more long lasting when done between 40-50 years old. During this decade of life, the patient’s skin still maintains enough elasticity to provide better results for a facelift. This doesn’t mean, however, that if you are past age 50 that a facelift will not provide exceptional results. If you are in your 40’s and not yet ready for a full facelift, talk to Dr. Preminger about the possibility of a mini facelift, and if this procedure may be more beneficial to you.

Noninvasive treatments for 35+

If you are in your mid-thirties, you probably have already started noticing your skin is losing its elasticity, and you may have begun developing fine lines and wrinkles. Depending on your lifestyles choices, diet, and genetics, you may show signs of aging a little earlier than your friends or others your age. Either way, if you are interested in achieving a more youthful look, Manhattan’s plastic surgeon recommends these noninvasive treatments.

Dermal fillers include Juvederm®, Radiesse®, Belotero Balance®, and even fat transfers or lip injections can turn back time by reducing signs of aging with results that can last six months to a year.

Botox® is ideal for reducing wrinkles and frown lines.

FaceTite™ is a noninvasive treatment that tightens loose skin and provides similar results as a facelift, but without undergoing the knife. This radio frequency technology provides results that can last for years!
