20 years old is TOO YOUNG for a facelift

Richard P. Rand, MD answers: Too young for facelift and cheek implants?

I'm 20 years old and I'm unsatisfied with the way my mid-lower face appears. I think I'd benefit from getting a mid-face lift with cheek implants. Am I too young to be getting these procedures done?

 Maybe you need cheek implants to add volume to your face, but you are way too young to ever consider a facelift or mid-facelift.  If any doctor even considered doing this on you, turn and run because that doctor does not have your best interests in mind.
