In your 40s
Early jowls and the first signs of a tired look. Eyelid surgery, a mini facelift or fat transfer are often enough. Fillers and skin treatments also work well at this stage.
In your 50s
Sagging of the cheeks and neck becomes more visible. A full SMAS or deep plane facelift, often with the neck, gives the most natural and lasting result.
In your 60s and beyond
A facelift can still be very rewarding if you are in good health. The surgeon pays particular attention to medical history and medication.
When non-surgical treatments are enough
Threads, energy-based devices and fillers can help mild changes, but they cannot reposition significantly descended tissues. When sagging is visible in the jawline and neck, surgery gives a result that these treatments cannot.
