As with all facial plastic surgery,
good health and realistic expectations are prerequisites.
Understanding the limitations of rhytidectomy is crucial,
and psychological stability is vital. There is no ideal
in a face lift. Rather, the goal is to improve the
overall facial appearance. Skin type, ethnic background,
degree of skin elasticity, individual healing, basic
bone structure as well as a realistic attitude are
factors that should be discussed prior to surgery.
This procedure is sometimes performed on patients in
their 30s, and successful surgery has been performed
on patients in their 80s. A face lift cannot stop aging,
nor can it turn back the clock. What it can do is help
your face look its best and give you a more youthful
and healthier appearance. A side benefit is that many
patients experience increased self confidence.
