I am almost 66. I did a lower facelift 2 years ago. I am very very happy I did! and like you, I didn't want to look like I was scowling, and just wanted to look pleasant. I look very natural, and people assume I'm 10-15 years younger than I am. One caveat: make sure docs appreciate/understand when you come in for various med issues. They tend to be dismissive when I have arthritic issues. They will tend to judge you by your looks!
