How long can a facelift done at age 45 last?
Disease description:
I'm 45 years old and I'm considering getting a facelift. A close friend mentioned that the results don't last as long if you have the surgery at this age. I'd like to know how long the effects of a facelift typically last for someone who is 45?

At age 45, a facelift surgery generally lasts about 5 to 7 years. A facelift is an invasive procedure that typically involves making a small incision in discreet areas such as behind the ears or along the hairline. The skin and underlying tissues are then lifted upward, and excess skin is removed to create tighter, firmer skin, effectively improving signs of skin sagging. Most facelift results typically last around 5 to 7 years, but individual metabolic rates and post-operative care vary, leading to differences in how long the results are maintained.
