Many people who have had facelift surgery in Toronto see a resurgence in their confidence. Would you like to join them? Whether you’ve been researching your options for some time, or you’ve just begun to consider the surgical approach, this can be an exciting time but also one full of questions. We’ve compiled a list of 5 essential considerations for anyone interested in a facelift.
Many different types of people seek a change in appearance through cosmetic surgery. Unfortunately, expectations can be unrealistic and set a person up for disappointment. Ideally, a Toronto facelift candidate is happy with themselves in general, mentally and emotionally stable and they want to improve their facial appearance with a lifted, youthful and refreshed look. It’s not ideal for people to expect a total life change, a cure for depression or to look like a completely different person. A facelift can take years off one’s appearance- an average of ten years- however, it cannot stop aging,and a healthy goal for the procedure will be to age gracefully, looking your absolute best.
Plenty of people in their 60’s and 70’s have facelifts in Toronto. As long as you’re in good health, there isn’t really an age limit, though aged skin tends to lack elasticity and factors that help it heal quickly. Conversely, younger patients are more likely to be told they aren’t a good candidate when they present with minimal wrinkles or sagging. People in their 30’s, for instance, are not usually good facelift candidates yet as there are many non-surgical treatments that smooth and rejuvenate the skin without unnecessary risks of an invasive procedure. Each case is considered independently. However reputable facial cosmetic surgeons won’t recommend surgery for someone who doesn’t need it and will see little change.
Some people don’t consider the physical and emotional toll that recovering from a procedure can take. Though many patients report only minimal pain and discomfort, they are required to take some time off work and away from some daily activities. When appearing slightly bruised and swollen, hanging around the house and missing out on exercise or favorite activities, some people become emotionally overwhelmed, lonely or depressed. To stave off boredom and make your recovery as positive as possible, plan a mini staycation with favorite books, movies and light projects to complete at home. Visit with friends and add some low-key socializing to break up your days. If you need help running errands or taking care of children and pets, arranging it ahead of time will reduce worry.
While choosing a certified, highly trained and experienced facial plastic surgeon in Toronto, will ensure that all safety precautions are taken, no surgery is without inherent risks. There is a low risk that you may experience visible scarring, asymmetry, or less than ideal results. Issues such as infection are mitigated through strict intraoperative protocols,but it’s up to you to follow instructions carefully post op. Surgery is a more serious undertaking than less invasive, injectables and skin treatments and the results are permanent. You must feel confident that you understand the risks and accept them when you choose cosmetic surgery. Ask your surgeon to explain anything that is unclear or concerning to you.
Not known for being inexpensive, facelift procedures are a considerable expenditure on appearance, but the results are significant as well. When considering the daily frustration of seeing someone older than they feel in the mirror,corrections could bring a daily confidence boost and change how you face each day, literally and figuratively.

Kathy Ellis2024-12-16 I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Solomon, and couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. From the first consultation, Dr. Solomon’s expertise and professionalism put me at ease. He guided me every step of the way, ensuring that I understood the process and felt comfortable. The outcome exceeded my expectations, as I now look like a fresher, younger version of myself. Dr. Solomon’s attention to detail and skill truly enhanced my natural beauty. I feel more confident and rejuvenated than ever. I must also recognize two of his amazing staff, Nurse Maddie and Nurse Nancy who were kind, attentive, responsive and always available when I reached out to them. Thank you Dr. Solomon, for giving me a renewed sense of self! Vanessa Gray2024-12-06 I am exactly one week out from my deep plane facelift surgery. I am healing so quickly and the results are already so amazing. Dr. Philip Solomon is not only a skilled surgeon but an artist. I travelled all the way from Vancouver and have no regrets. Thank you Dr. Solomon, Nancie, and the rest of your team! L J2024-12-06 Dr Solomon and his team have been exceptional. Ive always felt self conscious about the droopiness of my nose tip, but from the first consultation, Dr Solomon put me at ease with his excellent bedside manner and willingness to answer all my questions. After surgery, a nurse called me to check in, and my recovery process has been quite smooth. Now at 8 weeks post op I feel a newfound confidence every time I look in the mirror. Nancy has also been incredibly supportive, patiently answering questions and providing reassurance as I continue to navigate some post-op swelling (which is expected). Incredible experience and I’m so grateful to the entire team! Jen Muller2024-12-05 I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Solomon. A few years ago, I had rhinoseptoplasty for a deviated septum and a nostril that seemed to be collapsing. Since the surgery, I have been able to breathe much better. I then developed a cyst deep under the layers of my skin beside my nose. It took three years of meeting with various experts to try to figure out what was going on and how to remove it without scarring. Apparently this type of cyst is very rare. It took a long time, waiting for ultrasounds and CT scans. Dr. Solomon helped me through this entire process and was able to remove it from the inside of my nose without scarring. I cannot express enough of my appreciation for the removal of the cyst. It was causing a lot of issues for me with swelling that was unpredictable and distressing. It is a big decision to consider surgery and it’s important to research who you choose to work with, I would feel confident in your choice if you choose to work with Dr. Solomon. Susan Khamassi2024-12-03 I had rhinoplasty with Dr. Solomon. I was very nervous for years to do it because I wanted to still look natural. During my consult he listened to everything I wanted and now after 5 months post surgery I am beyond happy with the results. He is very skilled and would recommend him 1000 percent ! Thank you again ! R Karabassis2024-12-02 Dr. Solomon is great! Makes you feel comfortable and is also good with his aftercare and post procedure check ups. Results are amazing! Irene Karabassis2024-12-02 Dr. Solomon is amazing! He makes you feel comfortable and always addresses any of your concerns. Results are beautiful and natural! Anna Kayden2024-12-02 I’ve had two surgeries with Dr. Solomon and couldn’t be happier with the results. He’s an incredibly skilled and knowledgeable surgeon whose judgment I trust completely. Dr. Solomon provides honest, realistic feedback and never overpromises the degree of results, which I deeply appreciate. His clinical team is outstanding—they create a safe, welcoming environment every step of the way. I wouldn’t hesitate to return for future procedures if needed. Devina Dasilva2024-10-29 It was a blessing in disguise that your receptionists treated me so poorly which led me to go elsewhere. I Thank the Lord each day for not having Dr. Solomon touch my nose and perform surgery. My nose is in the utmost pristine condition and it's only because of the Lord. What a huge blessing to find an amazing surgeon elsewhere. A big Thank You to all the receptionists who were absolutely rude towards me. Had it not been for your ridiculous behaviour - I might have walked out with a botched nose job. Tina S2024-10-25 Dr. Solomon did a top notch job on my revision rhinoplasty. I am truly amazed at the results - they are even better than what I had hoped for. Even with the issues with my nose, he fixed the issues completely and made adjustments as-needed for a stunning result. And did it all "closed". Quite incredible. I'm still amazed. Prior to surgery (consultation phase), Dr. Solomon answered my many, many questions without hesitation - bc of my experience with a previous surgeon, I was quite nervous and asked many questions. He was very patient with me. The entire team was exceedingly professional - even his operative support team. 5 stars for them too. As a side note, I researched Toronto plastic surgeons for months before landing on Dr. Solomon. I've also since learned that he has an excellent reputation not just among patients, but within the medical community. I recommend Dr. Solomon wholeheartedly.
