Having a facelift is a personal decision, but I can tell you this: i’m 74 and had a FL 6 years ago. After having spent many years in the sun and completely disregarding all the warnings, I had to admit those same warnings were right.
My face/neck sagged and my skin looked…well….OLD.
Despite the (I won’t lie) the horrendous recuperation, I thank it was the best decision I ever made. The confidence it restored, the compliments I received, and the “lift” (no pun intended) it gave me (despite the considerable cost) made me ALMOST forget about the back pain I’ve felt for almost 20 years.
I still get injections in various areas around my mouth occasionally, but at the end of the day, I’d do all over again.
Key is to research plastic surgeons (not cosmetic surgeons) who’re board certified. Read his/her reviews, ask questions, and talk to former patients. You really can’t get too much information, since it’s an investment in YOU.
Gook luck with your decision. Grab happiness wherever you can get it!
