Is 60 Too Late?
Definitely not. The age range of 60 is actually one of the most common for facelift. Most patients are between 55-65 years, when signs of aging become more pronounced and motivation for change is strong.
“At 60, many patients are in excellent health, professionally and socially active, with decades of life ahead. Why not look as good as they feel?”
- — Dr. Robério Brandão
Advantages at This Age

Does an Age Limit Exist?
There is no absolute age limit. What matters is health status, not the number on ID. Patients 70+ in good shape can be excellent candidates, while a 55-year-old patient with multiple comorbidities may not be.
Age Is Just a Number
What matters is health and realistic expectations.
