Am I a Candidate for a Facelift?

A facelift, or rhytidectomy (literally "cutting out wrinkles"), is a common plastic surgery procedure that is effective in reducing deep line, wrinkles, and other indications of ageing. Popular among both men and women, a facelift can take years off of your face and restore a youthful, more appealing appearance, enhancing self-esteem and confidence.

Endoscopic Facelift
Not too long ago, a facelift was a relatively major surgical procedure that required several incisions and long periods of recovery. Recent advancements in endoscopic plastic surgery have now made the procedure for facelifts much safer and faster than ever before. Endoscopic facelifts offer several advantages over traditional facelifts including:

• Less invasive technique
• Minimal scarring
• Minimal bruising
• Reduced risks and complications
• More rapid healing time
One of the biggest advantages of endoscopic facelifts is the ability it has given plastic surgeons to offer surgical facial rejuvenation to a larger number of people.

Ideal Candidates for a Facelift

If you are unhappy with the appearance of your skin, you may be a candidate for a facelift. Facial skin that is saggy, loose, wrinkled, or deeply lined can make you feel older than you are. For people who are dissatisfied with the way their face has aged, a facelift may be an ideal choice.

To be a good candidate for a facelift you should:

• Be in good general health
• Have good skin elasticity
• Be a non-smoker
• Have strong bone structure
• Have realistic expectations

The best way to determine if you are an ideal candidate for a facelift is to schedule a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Remember, anyone with a medical degree can call themselves a cosmetic surgeon. Only doctors who have received additional training and uphold the rigorous standards of the American Board of Plastic Surgery can call themselves board-certified plastic surgeons.

During your initial consultation, your plastic surgeon will discuss your options for facial rejuvenation. If you are not an ideal candidate for a facelift, other options that can restore a youthful appearance will be discussed with you. A facelift, even an endoscopic facelift, is a surgical procedure that may not be right for everyone. Your plastic surgeon can help you determine what procedures will best meet your unique needs.
