Midfacelift too young for 31 year olds?
As you have had 4 consultations, hopefully with qualified plastic surgeons with interest and focus in the face, you have come across 4 different approaches and opinions. The message is then, there are usually several ways to address an individual patients aesthetic concerns and goals.

Agen for Midface Lift
Age is not the only criteria for facial surgery, but 31y.o. seems young for this procedure. As other posters have suggested midfacial appearance can be improved by filling the nasolabial grooves, or enhancing cheek contour with cheek implants or fillers such as Radiesse or fat.

Midface Lift Age for Cheek Enhancement
While there are no strict age guidelines for cosmetic facial surgery, mid face lift surgery for younger patients to improve appearance is generally not recommended. Other cosmetic procedures to improve the midface or sunken / saggy cheeks include silicone cheek implants, fat transfer, or facial fillers injections. Only after a comprehensive evaluation can a plastic surgeon help determine an appropriate option for you. Best of luck.

When should one get a facelift.
31 years of age is quite young for a facelift of any type. I would seek another opinion from an EXPERIENCED plastic surgeon. As a guess the one who told you not to have it was correct and honest. There is always going to be surgeons who will operate for money!

Midfacelift
Hi,
If you have Very droopy Nasolabial folds then a midfacelift maybe an option for you. Age is less of a factor when looking to make structural changes to your face. Of course you have to make sure that your expectations are met with the surgery proposed. It would be easier to give you advice if I saw a picture of you.

Face Lift at 31??
I recently answered a question for a 31 year old who asked about having stopped smoking 21 days prior to having a face lift as you describe. My initial reaction was to ask why she was even considering a surgery of this nature at such a young age however I did not want to insult her or question the advice of her surgeon since I had never examined her.
I cannot imagine that someone as young as yourself is aging so quickly (whether it is due to genetics or...

Without seeing you I can categorically tell you that you do not need this surgery!
What is being proposed is a radical facial surgery for someone your age. You are being preyed upon by your surgeons. Unfortunately many office are not in business to advocate your what is best for you. They are really their to get surgery done. I will assure you that whatever issues you have can be addressed without surgery using Hyaluronic acid fillers.
It is important to surgery stand that people get victimized by their insecurities in the offices of the Plastic surgeon. Ask...
