Most people begin to consider facelift surgery in their 40s or 50s, but the age range varies, and physical condition is more of a determining factor than age. Our surgeons have operated on a patient with major weight loss in her late 20s, and operated on another patient who was 92, and all ages in between. A facelift or mini facelift is the appropriate approach when the loss of volume associated with aging is accompanied by sagging of the skin on the jawline and neck, which requires the subcutaneous tissues to be repositioned.
