If you are thinking about face lift surgery, there is something you need to know. There are some kinds of people who should NOT undergo a face lift. Here are a few examples.

You might want to avoid a face lift if you are not a risk taker. Certain complications are unavoidable in a percentage of patients, and there are no long-term data available for current procedures.

If cost is an issue, you might want to think about twice about a face lift. Most medical insurance will not pay for cosmetic face lift surgery. The cost for a face lift may be significant.

If you do elect to have the procedure, compare as many different surgeons as you can. This is elective surgery, it will not likely be covered by insurance, so you want to be able to compare fees and services. The more surgeons you talk to, the more you will know and be able to make an informed decision.
