Hi, I'm 32 year old male, constantly dealing with disbelieving looks when I'm asked my age. I think I need a facelift. I know I'm really young for this, but if I look this bad now and a facelift can help, then why wait? I'd like to enjoy some more my (relative) youth... I've attached a picture, the areas I think I need are a facelift for my jowls, fillers or a submalar implant for my hollow cheeks, and simple fillers for my nasolabial folds. Am I a candidate for a facelift? Thanks
Answer: Am I a Candidate for a Facelift at 32?
I must admit that even at the age of 32, you could use a facelift, although much of your problem is loss of volume. Your tear trough and mid cheek areas are very "deflated." This loss of volume has contributed to your jowls and generalized sagging by loss of support. If you decide on having a facelift, i would suggest that you have fat transfer at the same time and/or at a later date. The fat will not survive if injected into the area that has been elevated to achieve a facelift. Results from fat grafts can be inconsistent even under the best of conditions. However, I think you would be elated with a facelift with volumizing from fat or other products. Good luck on your trek toward a younger looking face.
I would like to add that premature aging can be from improper nutrition. I have personally seen this numerous times. Keep the simple carbohydrates, trans fats, and saturated fats to a minimal.

Answer: Consider nonsurgical first Younger patients may benefit from nonsurgical treatments before considering surgery. You may want to explore fillers, Botox and laser technologies first before considering surgery. However, seeing your photo, you may benefit from surgery as well considering the severity of your wrinkles and creases.

Answer: Facelift Goals
The goals of a facelift are to improve the appearance of the jowel, neck, and/or the midface (with a Deep Plane Facelift). It is very unusual for a 32 year old to have these types of issue that would necessitate facelift surgery.

Answer: Facelift at 32
While it is difficult for me to fully make an assessment by photos, I can see that you have some early aging features that are typically addressed by some type of facelift procedure. In general, the midfacelift, which elevates the cheek fat pad back to a more youthful position, and the jowls along the jawline, are nicely addressed, avoiding the more extensive work of the necklift. For the nasolabial folds, in general a midfacelift or full facelift reduces them by 30 to 40%, or so, the remaining improvement taken care of by fullers. Also, I would not immediately recommend a midface filler or implant, instead wait to see how much it improves with the midfacelift, assuming that is what you are planning on undergoing.
