Am I a Good Candidate for Facelift? Key Criteria
Introduction

Deciding whether you are a good candidate for facelift involves assessing health, skin quality, the pattern of facial aging, and expectations. This concise guide outlines the most important considerations and next steps.
Key Criteria
- Good overall health and ability to tolerate anesthesia.
- Skin elasticity and tissue condition that will support a surgical lift.
- Visible structural changes (jowling, sagging jawline, neck laxity) that surgery can reliably improve.
- Realistic goals and willingness to follow pre/postoperative instructions (including smoking cessation).
Alternatives and Staging
- Non‑surgical options (fillers, energy devices) can be considered for earlier or milder changes or as interim steps.
- Staged approaches allow evaluation and refinement.
Next Step
Schedule a face‑to‑face consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon to obtain a personalized assessment and treatment plan.
