Facelift Candidacy in Fairfield County, CT

If you wish to reduce wrinkles, jowls, and other signs of aging, you have likely considered facelift surgery. When performed by an experienced surgeon, a facelift can provide natural-looking facial rejuvenation.

While a facelift offers an effective way to improve your facial appearance, generate a more youthful look, and give you the boost of confidence you desire, candidates must meet certain criteria. Your candidacy for a facelift procedure will depend primarily on what you hope to achieve, your general health, skin laxity, and other factors. Dr. Fredric Newman in Darien, CT, invites you to learn more about facelift candidacy so you can make an informed decision about how to enhance your appearance.

What do you Hope to Achieve?

During a private consultation, Dr. Newman will discuss your concerns and goals to help you decide which procedure will help you achieve the desired results.

If you notice minor signs of aging such as fine wrinkles, crows’ feet, or elevens (parallel wrinkles between the eyes), you may be able to achieve satisfying results with an injectable or resurfacing treatment. In other cases, eyelid surgery might be recommended. However, you may be a candidate for a facelift if you want to address:

  • Deep wrinkles, creases and skin folds
  • Jowls and loose skin beneath the chin
  • "Turkey neck" (platysmal bands)
  • Deeper lines around the eyes, mouth, and nose
  • Diminished muscle tone in the facial muscles
  • Excess, loose, or sagging skin

Determining Candidacy

The first step in determining your candidacy is an evaluation of your overall health. Typical facelift candidates are men and women over the age of 40 who do not smoke, are in good health, and wish to reduce moderate to pronounced signs of aging.

Two of the most important factors Dr. Newman will consider when determining your candidacy include your goals and your skin elasticity. Like all facial plastic surgery, there are beautiful results that can be achieved, but there are also some limitations.

During a consultation for a facelift Fairfield County plastic surgeon Dr. Newman will clearly explain what can and cannot be accomplished, and what patients should expect from the procedure. Meanwhile, to achieve optimal results, a patient’s skin must have a certain degree of elasticity, which plays a very important role in achieving smooth and taught contours. Typical facelift candidates are men and women over the age of 40 who do not smoke, are in good health, and wish to reduce moderate to pronounced signs of aging.
