The best candidate for a facelift is a man or woman whose skin still has some elasticity. Most patients are in their forties to sixties, but facelifts can be done successfully on people in their seventies or eighties as well. A facelift can enhance a well-defined bone structure, make you look younger and fresher, and it may improve your self- confidence in the process.
