With 23 years of surgical experience and expertise,
I am Dr. Jo Bae-jung from KOKO Plastic Surgery.
Today, I’d like to discuss facelift surgery, a topic many people are curious about.
Specifically, I will explain the ideal age for the procedure and the potential side effects to consider.
When Is the Best Time to Get a Facelift?
Many people assume facelift surgery is only for middle-aged and older individuals,
but in reality, it may be necessary even in your 20s.
Facelifts can be performed on patients in their 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, and even 60s.
However, the most optimal age for the best results is typically your 40s and 50s.
Why It’s Better to Have the Surgery at a Younger Age
From a doctor’s perspective, it is preferable for patients to undergo surgery while they are younger.
While many assume facelifts are most common in their 60s or 70s, at this age, heart function naturally declines,
which makes surgery riskier and requires extra caution from medical professionals.
Precautions for Older Patients
For patients over 60, it is essential to undergo a
comprehensive health check-up before surgery and provide the
medical report to the doctor.
As surgeons, we also have a duty to ensure patient safety by reviewing such information.
Facelift Benefits and Possible Side Effects
A facelift effectively lifts sagging skin and muscles, creating a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
However, as with any surgery, there are potential side effects.
Temporary swelling, bruising, and pain are common,
while rare risks include infection, scarring, or facial nerve damage.
Therefore, if you are considering a facelift, it is crucial to evaluate your age and health status carefully and
consult with a qualified specialist before making a decision.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact KOKO Plastic Surgery at any time.
