Dallas plastic surgeon Dr. Fritz Barton discusses the right time for facelift surgery

Dr. Barton of Dallas Plastic Surgery Institute answers a question commonly asked by patients considering a facelift: When is the right time? According to Dr. Barton, a patient should undergo facelift surgery as soon as signs of aging are present in the face, which is typically in the mid-40s. This way, the appearance of the face is maintained rather than overhauled, providing a more-natural appearance. When done at the right time, a facelift provides patients with long-lasting results.
