At What Age Should You Get a Facelift?

Signs of aging catch up with most of us long before we are ready. Sagging skin, especially around the lower face and neck, is one of the earliest signs of aging for many people, leading to wrinkles and loss of definition. A facelift can dramatically improve signs of aging and restore a more youthful look. However, many people wonder about the best age to consider one.

What is TLC Lift™ Facelift?

Dr. Lanfranchi and Team TLC offer the TLC Lift™, a customized facelift that addresses the lower face and neck. A facelift, also known as rhytidectomy, is performed to correct skin laxity, sagging, and wrinkles. It can be performed alone or in combination with other procedures, such as an eyelid lift or brow lift. A TLC Lift™ is tailored to each person’s needs, targeting the areas where they need the most correction. 

How is a Facelift or Rhytidectomy Performed?

Unlike other facelifts, the TLC Lift™ is performed using local anesthesia. Allowing you to stay awake during the procedure protects you from the risks of general anesthesia. The TLC Lift™ only takes about two hours. Dr. Lanfranchi lifts and tightens the skin and underlying SMAS layer and platysma muscle for a smooth, natural look. This procedure is the most effective way to restore definition, firmness, and contour to the lower face and neck. 

At What Age Should You Get a Facelift?

The best age to get a facelift depends on many factors. Dr. Lanfranchi does not believe in a one-size-fits-all strategy for performing facelifts. Each person receives a different procedure based on their needs. 

Many people seek a facelift as early as their 40s when they start to notice sagging and loss of definition. Typical candidates range from their 40s to 60s. However, there is no specific upper age limit as long as you and your skin are healthy enough for surgery. Only a consultation will allow Dr. Lanfranchi to determine whether a facelift will provide your desired results.

What is Recovery Like after a Facelift?

You will usually feel soreness and swelling for the first few days. Most people feel comfortable returning to work after seven to ten days. Your results will continue to improve for up to a year. 

Which Type of Facelift is Right for Me?

Dr. Lanfranchi and his team offer several types of facelifts to meet your needs. 

TLC Lift™

Dr. Lanfranchi’s signature procedure, the TLC Lift™ addresses the lower face and neck, the most common areas people feel self-conscious about due to sagging or wrinkles. 

TLC Premier Lift™

If you want to address concerns beyond the reach of a facelift, a TLC Premier Lift™ may be right for you. It combines a face and neck lift with two to four additional procedures, such as an eyelid lift, chin augmentation, or laser treatments. 

Mini Facelift

People in their 40s often make excellent candidates for a mini facelift. This less invasive version of a facelift tightens and firms the skin in strategic ways while minimizing recovery time.
