Facelift Timing: Dr. Dubrow Warns Against Early Surgery
18 Sep
Summary
- Dr. Dubrow advises against premature facelift surgery for younger patients.
- Waiting too long with non-surgical treatments can also yield poor results.
- The ideal facelift timing depends on individual anatomy and goals.
Celebrity surgeon Dr. Terry Dubrow has advised that women as young as 38 are seeking facelift surgery before it is medically necessary. He stresses that undergoing such procedures too soon can lead to complications and unnatural results as the face ages. Dubrow recommends waiting for technological advancements for less invasive skin tightening options for younger patients.
Conversely, Dr. Dubrow warns against relying solely on non-surgical treatments like fillers and lasers for too long. He explains that these methods cannot lift sagging deeper tissues, and prolonged use may distort features. The ideal timing for a facelift is not tied to a specific age but depends on individual factors such as skin quality and jawline condition.
