Am I the Right Candidate for a Facelift?


Your questions answered by STAR Clinic.

Thinking about a facelift but not sure if it’s right for you? At STAR Clinic, we believe great outcomes start with a personalised approach for each of our clients. Here’s a quick Q&A to help you understand whether facelift surgery might be the right step for you.

Q: What exactly is a facelift?
A: A facelift (also known as a rhytidectomy) is a surgical procedure that lifts and tightens the skin and underlying tissues of the face to restore a more youthful contour. At STAR Clinic, our approach prioritises natural-looking results; think refreshed, not ‘done’.

Q: How do I know if I’m a good candidate?
A: You might be an ideal candidate if:
✔️ You’re bothered by sagging skin, jowls or deep creases around your nose and mouth
✔️ You still have some skin elasticity and good bone structure
✔️ You’re in good general health and don’t smoke
✔️ You’re looking for long-lasting results that go beyond what non-surgical treatments can offer
✔️ You’re realistic about the outcome and recovery involved

Q: What age should I consider a facelift?
A: There’s no ‘perfect’ age. Most facelift patients are in their 40s to 60s, but suitability depends more on facial ageing than your birthday. During your consultation, Mr Marando will assess your unique facial structure and skin quality to determine the most effective approach.

Q: I’ve had fillers and Botox – can I still have a facelift?
A: Absolutely. Many patients choose facelift surgery after years of non-surgical treatments. In fact, it’s common to combine surgery with non-surgical enhancements such as skin boosters or deep dermal support. At STAR Clinic our 360 approach stars with optimising skin health, working with our resident Skin and Wellness expert Holly Mantell. We prepare and optimise skin health so you are in the best position for surgery.

In our experience this enhances outcomes and longevity of results.

Q: What happens during the consultation?
A: You’ll have a thorough consultation with Mr Andrea Marando, one of the UK’s most respected plastic surgeons. He’ll take time to understand your concerns, examine your face, and recommend a tailored treatment plan. You’ll also receive detailed information about the procedure, downtime, risks and expected results — all with zero pressure to proceed.

Q: What makes STAR Clinic different?
A: Our facelift approach is rooted in care, detail and discretion. Patients travel from across the UK to be treated by Mr Marando because of his reputation for beautifully natural results, from less invasive to more advanced techniques (such as the Preservation Deep Plane).

Every facelift is tailored, never templated, and forms part of a wider STAR 360 journey that considers skin health, lifestyle, and long-term facial harmony, before surgery is undertaken.

Outstanding results every time:
