Facelifts at 40: Deep Plane vs Mini, Aging Truths, & When to Start | Beauty & the Beasts Ep. 5
Is 40 too young for a facelift? In this episode of the Beauty and the Beasts Podcast, Dr. Sam Jejurikar and Dr. Sal Pacella break down the truth about facial aging, facelift timing, and modern facelift techniques.
We discuss the differences between deep plane facelifts, mini facelifts, and SMAS facelifts, and explain why there is no “one-size-fits-all” approach. Learn how volume loss, skin laxity, and facial anatomy determine the right procedure, not age alone. The episode also covers fat grafting, Ozempic-related facial volume loss, realistic facelift recovery timelines, and why earlier intervention can sometimes lead to better long-term results.
Whether you’re researching a facelift in your 40s or 50s, trying to understand deep plane facelift buzz, or simply want expert insight into facial rejuvenation, this episode offers a clear, honest surgeon-to-surgeon perspective designed to educate and empower patients.
