    Lower facelift surgery is an excellent option for individuals in their 40s to 60s and have visible signs of aging, such as sagging jowls and neck skin, and still have good skin elasticity.

    Suitable candidates for a lower facelift should meet the following criteria:

    Physical Health: Be in good overall health with no underlying medical conditions that could interfere with the wound healing process.

    Emotional Well-being: Have realistic expectations and a positive mindset regarding the outcomes of mastopexy surgery. As of 1st of July 2023, patients are required to have a psychological evaluation to ensure they are suitable to proceed with surgery.

    Stable Weight: It is recommended to be near your target weight before undergoing the procedure, as weight fluctuations can affect the cosmetic results.

    Non-smoker: Smoking or vaping dramatically interferes with the healing process and increases the risk of complications. Therefore, candidates are required to cease smoking for a minimum 6 weeks before and after the surgery.
