## 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 (94.4%). Healthy patients from late 30s through their 70s can still be excellent candidates — anatomy and skin quality matter more than age.

- **True** — Deep plane facelift patient satisfaction is 94.4% in pooled analysis
  - Source: Khoury et al. 2025 systematic review (PMID 40801931) (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40801931/)
- **False** — Deep plane facelift is only for older patients in their 60s and 70s
  - Source: Published series including Jacono 2011 show patients in their 40s and 50s are common deep plane candidates; pooled satisfaction is 94.4% (Khoury et al. 2025) (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21136577/)
- **False** — Younger patients never need a facelift
  - Source: About 15% of deep plane facelift patients are in their 40s; candidacy is driven by anatomy and aging pattern, not chronological age
- **False** — Facelift is unsafe for patients over 70
  - Source: Large outcome series show patient satisfaction and complication rates at ages 70-79 comparable to 50-69, provided the patient is healthy, non-smoker, and controls blood pressure
