There is no specific age that is considered the best for a first facelift, as the decision to undergo the procedure depends on individual factors such as genetics, lifestyle, and skin quality. Generally, patients in their 40s to 60s are the most common age group for facelift surgery. However, some patients may benefit from a facelift at a younger or older age, depending on their unique needs and goals. It's important to consult with an experienced plastic surgeon like Dr. Panossian to determine the most appropriate time for your facelift.
