I'm considering a facelift; has anyone had a consultation?

Lately, I can really feel the sagging every time I look in the mirror, so I’ve been searching through tons of reviews on facelifts. I’ve tried lifting lasers a few times, but the effects didn't seem to last long, so now I find myself constantly looking at reviews for facelifts. However, while there are surprisingly many posts with high satisfaction, I’m also hesitant because there are comments about recovery and scarring. I’m curious to know at what age it is safe to get a facelift, and if the effects really do last!
