Determining whether someone is a candidate for a facelift or not is not based on age, but on aging. People age differently, based on many factors, so the absolute age is not really a determining factor. The best time for a facelift is when the signs of aging start to bother you and can be improved. The trend in plastic surgery of the face is to start at younger ages with less invasive procedures. By doing facelifts and other rejuvenative procedures at younger ages, the results can be more natural, last longer, and be less involved. At age 45, your facial aging may be early in its course and a more minimal procedure may be possible. The best way to determine your options would be to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. They could analyze your face and create an individualized plan that works best for you. At PREMIERE Center, we have been practicing the face lift surgical procedure for over 19 years with our board certified plastic surgeons on staff ready to consult with you at either our Coral Gables / Tampa locations. Best of luck
