A facelift can help rejuvenate the overall appearance of the face. However, many wonder what the best age is to get a facelift?
What is a Facelift?
A facelift, also called a rhytidectomy, is a de-aging surgical procedure that can bring back the face’s youthful appearance. Hidden incisions are made in the hairline during a facelift to address the middle to lower part of the face. This technique that Dr. Holley uses minimizes the appearance of any scars from a facelift.
Often, a traditional facelift can be combined with other procedures such as a necklift or browlift.

How Long Does a Facelift Last?
While aging will happen regardless, many patients enjoy the results for five years or more after a facelift procedure. Some people opt to have a revision facelift to maintain their results.
What is the Best Age to Get a Facelift?
The best age to get a facelift is in the 40+ range. Having a facelift during your forties increases the longevity of your results compared to those who have a facelift in your 50s.
Patients in their 50s are recommended to have a facelift with other procedures, such as a necklift, to have the best visible results.
