Is 20 Too Young for a Facelift?
I am 20 years old and I think I need a facelift to enhance my cheekbones. I don't want to have fillers or implants because it looks really fake and I already have fat cheeks. I don't want to have a buccal fat removal either. everytime i pull my cheek skin upwards, my cheekbones get more enhanced and it looks natural aswell. so my question is then, can you have a face-lift if you're 20 years old and have fat cheeks?

Is 20 Too Young for a Facelift?
It is very difficult to answer your question without seeing your pictures – you should consider posting images showing your areas of concern. It is unusual to need or to be able to really benefit from a face lift at age 20

Most likely you ARE too young for a facelift
Most likely you ARE too young for a facelift. Photos would be helpful in determining if you truly are a good candidate. In my practice, the best candidate for a facelift is a physically healthy person who is realistic in their expectations regarding the appearance of loose facial and neck skin. You do not need to wait until the signs of aging are severe, an increasing number of men and women elect to have facelifts performed at a younger age at the first signs of a sagging lower face -...

20 years old to young for a Facelift
Twenty years old is to young for a Facelift! The complaints you are discussing would not be treated with a Facelift as this really treats the lower face and neck region. I suggest you see a good facial plastic surgeon and discuss your concerns and he/she should advise you well!

Too young for facelift
I concur with my colleagues. Twenty is simply too young for a facelift. You should explore other options such as fillers, fat injections, or facial implants to achieve your goals.

No facelifts at 20
It is inappropriate and immature to consider a facelift at 20. What you need is a long acting filler like Perlane or Radiesse to fill the cheeks in a custom way if you refuse implants.

20 and facelift
Yes, 20 is too young for a facelift. If you want cheek bone enhancement then you are better off with fillers.

Facelift at 20?
Hi "12345678912 in thailand". Yes, it's way too early to consider a facelift for a 20 year old.
It sounds like your goal is to improve the prominence of your cheek bones, and this can certainly be successfully done without resorting to a facelift. Fillers, fat grafting, and cheek implants are all reasonable possibilities, and much less involved, less risky, and less expensive than a facelift.
All the best,

20 is too young for face-lift-fillers are your best option for cheek enhancement or lift
20 is too young for a facelift. It is very unlikely that the best facelift will enhance your cheeks.
If properly placed, a filler such as Radiesse or Pearlane (you need a higher molecular weight or "firmer" filler to enhance the cheek) will enhance the cheek bone area without making your cheeks fuller. If you have chubby cheeks a buccal fat pad resection will also help.
It sounds like you are getting good advice. Don't make the mistake of pursuing your facelift...

Is 20 Too Young for a Facelift?
In all but extreme cases for genetic conditions, 20 is too young for a face lift. Without seeing pictures of your face it is difficult to give you advice. I would tell you that fillers, done by an experienced Plastic Surgeon, do not look fake and may accomplish exactly what you are looking for.

Fillers is your answer
At twenty with a slight decreas of the chheks, a filler would be the best option. When done correctly, it can last up to 1-1.5 years. Fat injections may be your other option and a cheek suspension last.A face lift is not needed nor is it recommended at your age.
