A facelift is one of the most transformative procedures in plastic surgery, providing individuals with a more youthful and refreshed appearance. However, one common question many patients have is: "How long do the results last?" Additionally, determining the best age to undergo this procedure is equally important. At Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery of Acadiana, Dr. Lupo brings years of expertise in facial rejuvenation, helping patients achieve results tailored to their unique needs.

How Long Do Facelift Results Last?

While a facelift can turn back the clock, it’s important to understand that the procedure doesn’t stop the natural aging process. On average, facelift results can last 10 to 15 years, depending on factors such as skin quality, age at the time of surgery, lifestyle habits, and genetics.

Patients who maintain a healthy lifestyle, avoid smoking, and protect their skin from sun damage often experience longer-lasting results. Additionally, advancements in surgical techniques by Dr. Lupo can provide more natural and enduring outcomes by focusing on both skin tightening and underlying muscle and tissue repositioning.

To maintain your results, periodic non-surgical treatments such as Botox®, dermal fillers, or laser resurfacing can complement your facelift, helping you extend your refreshed look.

What Is the Best Age to Get a Facelift?

There is no “perfect” age for a facelift, as the decision depends on each individual’s needs and goals. However, most patients typically opt for a facelift in their 40s to 60s when signs of aging, such as sagging skin, deep wrinkles, and loss of jawline definition, become more prominent.

For younger patients, early intervention with a less invasive procedure, such as a mini facelift, may be sufficient to address mild concerns. For older patients, a comprehensive approach involving a facelift and complementary procedures, such as eyelid surgery or a neck lift, may provide the best results.

Dr. Lupo emphasizes personalized care, taking the time to assess each patient’s facial anatomy and aesthetic goals to recommend the right timing and type of procedure.
