Is There a “Right Age” for a Facelift?

Posted on September 6, 2018 by Dr. Gus Galante

If you look in the mirror and see wrinkles, sags, jowling and a flat cheek area, and find yourself using your fingers to lift your facial skin to reveal a younger appearance, you’re likely the “right age” for a facelift because—in all reality—there is no “right age.” Can You Be “Too Young” for a Facelift? Some of my NW Indiana patients come to me in their mid-to-late 30s wondering if having a facelift at their age might create trouble later on.

For those patients, a Lunchtime Facelift, also known as a Liquid Facelift, can provide improvement that, although temporary, is less expensive than a traditional facelift and has virtually no downtime. It’s often called a “lunchtime” facelift because the entire session can usually be completed over ones lunch hour.

Posted on May 15, 2015 by Dr. Gus Galante

Have you ever heard the saying that aging brings wisdom? According to the late cartoonist, Tom Wilson, “Wisdom doesn’t necessarily come with age.

Men and women come to me inquiring about a facelift at various stages in their lives. Some are in their middle 40s, and wish to start facial rejuvenation early in order to stave off some future wrinkling.
