Category: Facelifts

I’ve recently blogged about facelifts – the types, men and facelifts and today I’ll talk about facelifts and the “age” factor. In Brief:  You’re never too old to have facelift surgery.  There are some conditions – but these apply at every age and for every person having surgery.

Current research has turned up this information and confirms what I’ve always believed and practiced.

1. If screened properly, people in their 60’s 70’s, 80’s (and a few even older) have facelifts and are at NO GREATER RISK for complications than younger people
2. The Criteria:  Must be in good general health.
3. Among annual facelift candidates – 12% are over 65
4. Good, realistic goals and expectations are a must
5. Good candidates are looking to remove sagging skin, lines and wrinkles & restore a more youthful – natural appearance
6. There must be some skin elasticity
7. A well defined bone structure is important
8. An individualized plan is critical – “one facelift” does NOT fit all faces as is often touted today.  (See my previous blog on types of Facelifts)

The bottom line is:  seniors around the world are lining up for cosmetic procedures and 12% of those over age 65 are having facelifts.

When checking with my colleagues, I found that plastic/cosmetic surgeons across America are performing more facelifts every year on older adults …and the results are wonderful!

People come to me for facelifts because I’m well qualified, experienced and know how to “match” the right type of facelift to each individual.

OK – been thinking about it?  Come on in (or visit our website)…let’s get to work!

DOES LOOKING BETTER REALLY HELP YOU GET THAT JOB? This is always a sensitive subject, especially in these economic times, but if you believe “the truth can set you free” (and I do) then this information should be helpful to many people.

If youth equals beauty – then beauty in turn equals money. People in the work force, and those trying to re-enter the career arena, are stampeding cosmetic clinics, like mine, for a host of procedures that will lift years off the face and neck.

Why is this happening during an economic downturn? Because they have to look good (younger) in order to compete in the job market place.  Here are the numbers:

• 2009-2010…cosmetic procedures rose more than 5%
• Facelifts for men were up 14% in 2010
• Non-Invasive procedures rose more than 12%
• England & Ireland (in spite of their economic woes) saw an increase among women having Botox® – by more than 50%
• Career counselors are telling clients to:  spend at least as much $$ on looking good as they spent on perfecting their resume
• Career counselors are saying it plainly – “Don’t look old.”

Ageism shouldn’t be an issue…but sadly it is!  That’s the bad news. The Good News is:  cosmetic procedures work very well & are here to stay.  There’s something for everyone –and age is not an issue in this arena.  You can look good at any age – in spite of your age.

I offer all the fast fixes – liquid facelifts, dermal fillers, BOTOX® and Dysport®.  For long lasting results with the most bang for your buck  – facelifts often combined with eye procedures really get the most desirable results by taking 5, 10 even 15 years off the face and neck and keeping you younger looking…always.

Starting younger and maintaining works the best…we’ve learned this from Hollywood celebrities, many of whom seem to be ageless!

You really can’t put a price on beauty-but you can put a price on age defying procedures.  Visit my website for complete info on what I do.

If you are being challenged in the workplace – or are starting over again – like so many are, I can help you look and feel more competitive.  Renewed self-confidence and enhanced self-esteem also result from looking great.

I help people put their best selves forward!

Let’s talk.
