Face Lift at Young Age Usually Ridiculous but What if Legtimate? I am a 24 year old man and I am going to keep it short and tell you that I used to be into facial massage cause I thought it would help me stay young looking and was easy but I got carried away and ended up rubbing my face for too long and too hard (and this is hard to believe but this is for real) and eventually I noticed my face is terribly saggy. I am getting soooo sick of this docs I know I am young but If i show you pics I am certain you will say I legitmately need some kind of skin tightenin

A: Facelift at young age

I agree with the other surgeons. Your question absolutely requires photos at the very least. Facelift is not based on age, but rather the anatomy.

Differences Between Traditional Facelifts Depending on the Surgeon My husband had a face/neck lift 3 days ago. He wore a thick bandage with drains for 2 days, took anti-inflammatory and antibiotics. His face is very swollen, and he is asked to sleep on his back for a month. My sister is having the same procedure in Paris but tells me she won't even stay overnight, she plans to rest at home for a few days and start work after 7 days. Her doctor says she can sleep on her side no problem. Same procedure - why the difference? Asking because I'm scheduled for same!

A: Facelift recovery

There are certainly variations between face lifting techniques and recovery time associated with each of these techniques. Nonetheless I feel that it is in the patient's best interest to keep the postoperative recovery as simple as possible. The more surgery that you have performed with your facelift -- including browlift, blepharoplasty, deep plane lifting, etc. -- the longer your recovery will be to a degree. I will frequently tailor my postoperative recommendations slightly for each patient, as I hope to keep the postoperative recovery period as smooth and simple as possible.

Will I Benefit from a Facelift? I am in my late twenties and noticed a sagging of my lower face from my early to mid twenties. I now have lines at the sides of my mouth and also from the corners of my nose downward and from under my eyes although It is hard to get on camera I have put in a pic from last year that shows the lines in the light and the 2nd pic- taken recently, shows the extent of sagging in my lower jaw which messes with my whole face shape and adds a good ten years to my age, what can I do?

A: Will I Benefit from a Facelift?

After reviewing your pictures up close, it does not appear you would benefit from a surgical procedure. However if you are noticing lines and folds when you smile etc.. we refer to those as mild melo labial folds, which could be treated with Restylane or Juvederm.
