Facelift by Age Beverly Hills | Plastic Surgery Institute

When is the Right Time for A Facelift?

The short answer is, if you are over the age of 30, the right time for a facelift is whenever you are ready to make changes.

The truth is you're not the only person questioning yourself about the right time for a facelift. Many of our patients try to determine their need for a facelift by age.

Deciding on Your Facelift

Have you reached a point where non-surgical treatments are no longer providing you the results you desire? Are you tired of "maintenance" treatments that wear off after a few months? You may be ready to consider a facelift as your cosmetic procedure of choice.

Common questions include:

Am I too young/old to get a facelift?
Should I wait until later when I look my age?
Should I do a touch-up and minimize my fine lines and wrinkles now and do a complete facelift later?

To figure that out, let's break down four main age factors to consider when deciding on a facelift. The four main visible signs of facial aging are:

Crow's feet
Fine lines and wrinkles
Sagging and loose skin
Deep lines or "creases" in the skin

A facelift is not recommended for people under 30 because you would need repeated corrective surgery as you age. You may want to consider getting a facelift when these signs of aging become visible, which typically show up in your 40s and visibly deepen in your 50s, 60s, and 70s.

At the Plastic Surgery Institute in Beverly Hills, my fellow doctors and I assess your facial concerns when you come in for a consultation. From there, we can determine your best course of action and create a custom cosmetic plan for you based on those concerns. Your method of treatment will differ depending on your age and the condition of your skin:

Popular Facelift Procedures

For those interested in a facelift Beverly Hills based Plastic Surgery Institute has various techniques and options available to you. Two of our most popular procedures include the deep plane facelift and the "mini" facelift:

Deep Plane Facelift

Going deeper than other facelifts, the Deep Plane Facelift will separate and smooth the deep plane tissues under your skin but keep the muscles and skin above it together for longer-lasting results that keep you looking like you. The Deep Plane Facelift offers a dynamic difference in smoothing and flattening of the nasolabial folds, less recovery time, and is one of the most effective facelift techniques performed at the Plastic Surgery Institute.

Mini Facelift

A "mini" facelift is still a significant surgery. It just only involves the portion of your face that needs correction. While Deep Plane Facelifts and SMAS facelifts affect the entire face and jawline, a "mini" facelift can precisely target the area you want to see improved.

Plastic surgeons classify the face in three sections: upper, middle, and lower. Mini facelifts can be tailored to address problems in any of these three areas. We can also create a custom plan that combines a mini facelift with a neck lift or a brow lift to target the upper or lower sections of the face. It's a versatile procedure that is not as extensive as a deep plane facelift but still offers tremendous results.

Facelift FAQs

Will my facelift hurt?

During your procedure, you will be under anesthesia. Following your surgery, you may feel tightness in some areas, but your discomfort level depends on your specific procedure. At the Plastic Surgery Institute, we are adamant about patient safety and comfort. We will create a specific recovery plan to make sure you are as comfortable as possible during and after your procedure.

What are the risks?

Complications with cosmetic surgery are rare, but some side effects of facelifts include swelling, bruising, bleeding, and some discomfort during the recovery process. Our recovery plans will help you minimize these risks and provide specific instructions on how to reduce your downtime.

How much does a facelift cost?

During your consultation, we will assess your face and skin and discuss your facelift options. Your cost will vary on the type of plan we decide will deliver you the best results.

Does my insurance cover a facelift?

A facelift is considered a cosmetic procedure and is typically not covered by your insurance. You may ask your insurance provider to be sure.

What can I do to protect my skin after a facelift?

The key to projecting a natural and youthful appearance is based on the condition of your skin. Your environment plays a crucial role in your appearance. For example, your exposure to the sun, stress, and lack of proper nutrition plays a vital role in your age. If you can maintain healthy skin habits, it will maximize the results and longevity of your facelift.
