## Frequently asked questions

### What is the best age for a deep plane facelift?

The best age range is 45-65, when facial aging is visible enough to justify surgery but skin elasticity remains strong enough for dramatic results. Patients aged 45-55 show the highest published satisfaction rates (97.8%). Healthy patients from late 30s through their 70s can still be excellent candidates — anatomy and skin quality matter more than age.
