At The Spiegel Center in Newton, Massachusetts, just outside of Boston, we frequently hear questions like, “Am I a good candidate for a facelift?” or, “How do I know if it’s the right time?” If you’re considering facial rejuvenation, let’s explore who benefits most from this transformative procedure and why The Spiegel Center is the premier destination for facelifts in the Boston area.
What Can a Facelift Achieve?
A facelift (rhytidectomy) is a surgical procedure that restores youthful contours by addressing:
- Sagging skin along the cheeks, jawline, and neck.
- Deep folds, such as nasolabial lines.
- Loose or excess skin under the chin, often called the "turkey wattle."
Our double board-certified facial plastic surgeons, Dr. Spiegel and Dr. Tower, specialize in creating results that look natural—never overdone. Whether you live in Newton, Boston, or beyond, The Spiegel Center is your trusted choice for achieving undetectable but stunning improvements.
Who Is an Ideal Candidate for a Facelift?
A facelift is ideal for those seeking comprehensive, long-lasting solutions to facial aging. Here are the key traits of a good candidate:
- Visible Signs of Aging in the Face or Neck
Patients from all over often turn to us when non-surgical treatments like fillers or Botox can no longer deliver the desired results. If you’re noticing sagging skin, deep wrinkles, or a lack of definition in the jawline, a facelift may be the solution.
- Good Overall Health
As with any surgery, being in good health is essential. Candidates should be non-smokers and free of medical conditions that could complicate healing.
- Realistic Expectations
While a facelift can dramatically rejuvenate your appearance, it won’t stop the natural aging process. During your facelift consultation at The Spiegel Center, we’ll discuss your goals and ensure they align with achievable outcomes.
- Skin with Some Elasticity
Skin with moderate elasticity is better suited for the lifting and repositioning involved in a facelift. If you’re unsure about your skin’s suitability, a consultation with our expert surgeons will provide clarity.
- A Desire for Long-Lasting Results
Facelifts offer results that last for years, making them a popular choice for patients who want a more permanent solution to aging compared to injectables or other non-surgical treatments.
The Right Age for a Facelift
There’s no universal “right” age for a facelift, but we often see patients in their 40s, 50s, and 60s. Younger patients in their 30s and 40s are increasingly opting for mini facelifts as a proactive approach to aging.
The earlier you address sagging skin or deep lines, the less extensive the procedure may need to be, which often leads to the most natural-looking results.
