If you are considering facial rejuvenation treatments, you may wonder if there’s a “right” age for facelift. The truth is, age alone isn’t the determining factor. What matters more is the degree of visible aging and whether surgical intervention is the best method to achieve your goals.
At Folsom Plastic Surgery near Sacramento, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Shahriar Mabourakh brings decades of facial surgery expertise. His personalized approach allows him to help patients of all ages look naturally refreshed and confident.
Visible Signs of Aging Matter More Than Age
Although facelift is commonly associated with patients in their 50s and 60s, you may be a good candidate in your 40s, or even late 30s, depending on your skin condition and facial anatomy. Genetics, sun exposure, weight fluctuations, and smoking history can all accelerate facial aging. If you’re starting to notice skin laxity around the lower face, jowls, or deep nasolabial folds that nonsurgical treatments can’t address, it may be time to consider surgical options.
The Benefits of Addressing Aging Earlier
Undergoing a facelift earlier in the aging process may lead to more subtle and longer-lasting results. Younger patients often have better skin elasticity and stronger underlying structures, which can enhance the outcome of surgery and support a more natural-looking rejuvenation. A facelift performed at the right time can help patients avoid a more dramatic transformation later in life.
Not Every Patient Needs a Full Facelift
Dr. Mabourakh carefully evaluates facial structure and skin laxity to determine the best approach. In fact, some patients may benefit from mini facelift, which targets early jowling and sagging in the lower face with shorter incisions and less downtime. Others may require a more comprehensive procedure to achieve ideal results. The consultation process is key to developing a successful surgical plan. During a consultation, Dr. Mabourakh educates and empowers you, so that you can decide on your care with confidence.
Why Experience and Judgment Matter
With over 30 years of surgical experience and double board certification, Dr. Mabourakh is known for delivering facelift results that enhance natural features while maintaining facial identity. His training and long-standing surgical practice in Folsom and Stockton offer patients a trustworthy foundation for their aesthetic journey.
If you’re unsure whether you’re ready for facelift surgery, a consultation with Dr. Mabourakh can provide clarity.
