Who is a potential candidate (and who is not)?

Face lifts - Potential candidates are of any age range who have loose skin or wrinkles. Those conclusions are made on a case-by-case basis, and would require consultation. 80% of patients who go under the knife for classic facelifts are candidates for suture suspension.

Buttocks lifts - Everyone between 16 - 74 years of age are the best candidates.

Breast lifts - Those who have suitable breast tissue. Those who do not have volume will have to consider classic implant surgery first.

Eyebrow lifts - Everyone between 16 - 74 years of age are the best candidates.

Chin lifts - Everyone between 16 - 74 years of age are the best candidates.

Nose tip refinement - Everyone is a candidate.

Nose Angle refinement (wide nose) - Everyone is a candidate.

Ear refinements - Everyone is a candidate.
