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!
Oh, wow…that’s incredible. Right now, my pains are very limited, but I’ll keep that in mind. Lol.
I’m waiting to get costs estimates from my second surgeon’s consult. He said I’d hear from his office, but never did. I called today and still haven’t heard anything. So…..I really liked the surgeon, but the administration not so much.
I hardly ever use soap and water to cleanse. I use makeup removing wipes then with a washcloth and hot water sort of steam my face. Then I apply a good quality moisturizer and one with spf of 30 for daytime. I use DRMTLGY universal tinted moisturizer after instead of foundation. My skin still looks radiant and smooth at almost 79 years of age. People who don't know me think I'm at least 10 years younger than my true age.
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!

Wow, good for you! So glad you are pleased with the outcome.
I have decided on the surgeon after much research…..now the financing…..that’s my only holdup. I hesitate to dip into savings….but I probably will.

What isDRMTLGY? & where do you purchase it?, I'm 78 yrs old and just had Restlayne Contura under my eyes, and helps me look like I'm not tired.
It's a cosmetic/skin care company. You purchase it online. Not expensive! Get their tinted moisturizer with spf. Color blends with all skin colors.

2 ReactionsI know it’s called “disposable income,” but I figured I couldn’t have “disposed” of it in a better way!
Best of luck!
