Face Lift Rarely Needed for Someone in their twenties

It would be important to have an exam for the best answer but based on your limited photos with poor lighting conditions it would appear that a chin implant with possibly a small amount of liposuction in the jowl area may be of benefit. You should still have good elasticisy because of your yound age and ethnicity so should not need a facelift at this age. See a board certified Plastic or Facial Plastic surgeon for a consultation

Helena,
The reason why you received no reply is because there is nothing you need to have done to you. The only thing you need to do now is appreciate your beauty. You look beautiful and young. My 10 year old daughter has a bit of hollowness in her tear trough from allergies/hereditary, but is still a lovely, young-skinned dewy kid. Please realize that you are examining yourself with too much judgement. Check out the images of the once beautiful Korean woman who self injected with cooking oil (Google images) and turned herself into a sad monster. (I truly felt for her.) You are seeing something that does not exist. (Certain angles of lighting will show the natural muscles under the face that we ALL have. You have fallen prey to a society (Western) that judges women and girls far too harshly. This causes illness in young girls and women-- like anorexia, bulimia, the over injecting of fillers, too much tanning etc. (The NJ Tanning lady for ex.) Stay beautiful and away from any procedure that will make you look less pretty. In the future--8 to 10 years from now--you may need a bit of filler under the eyes, but make sure the injector is a doctor who is very familiar with the use of filler that dissolves (like Restylane) in the tear trough. He/she should tend toward under-correction and inject to the bone, so you don't get the Tydell effect (blue color showing from filler shot to close to surface.)

Please believe me and those around you, who no doubt tell you the same, you are lovely..have great cheeks and cheek bones, a perfect nose, plump pretty young lips and a great jaw bone and definition. . I'm trying to help you reSEE yourself. What is true and real. Say everyday twice (once in the morning and once at night before bed: I am beautiful and I like/love myself.

Be well and happy. :)
