Facelift for a 35 Year Old?

I am only 35. My body look like 20 but my face look so old due my job which is in the kitchen all the time by the grill. I don't like looking at my face in the mirror. It scares and stresses me out. Do I need a Facelift? Thank you

Facelift in a 35 Year Old

A facelift is rarely the procedure of choice for rejuvenation in a 35 year old. Without seeing you, it is impossible to say exactly what your problem may be and determine what is the best approach. For example, a chemical peel or laser treatment may be more appropriate than a facelift if the quality of your skin has been affected by your environment. You need a good consultation.

Facelift in a 35 year old is possible but very uncommon; look for other treatments first.

You may be better off with a less invasive technique such as a peel or laser resurfacing. However, in rare cases, particularly massive weight loss or paitents with sever skin laxity, I have performed facelifts in patients 35 and younger.

Your work can wear out your face

While rare, a face lift can be the best option for a younger patient. The mid-thirties patients I had who have had very successful facial rejuvenations, which included facelifts, were a tennis pro and a ski instructor. Both are healthy, youthful people whose lifestyle weathered their faces prematurely. I suspect that your exposure at work resembles the same effect. They responded beautifully to lift, fills, and minor behavior modification with a great outcome both short term and long... more

Facelift and Age

A facelift at 35 is not unheard of but consider other options first. To understand why a facelift at 35 is rare, you have to understand the way we age. We age in 3 ways: first, our skin changes (brown spots, textural changes, color changes, redness, sun damage, large pores, etc.), secondly, our skin sags (as a result of sun damage, loss of elastic tissue and collagen), and lastly, we lose volume in the form of bone, fat, and muscle. The first and third items are the first... more

Is 35 Too Young for a Face Lift?

While it is impossible to correctly diagnose your causes of facial aging without examining you or seeing pictures, it would be extremely rare to perform a face lift on a 35 year old. In my practice in Tampa, Florida, despite the excess sun exposure and thus premature facial aging many patients experience, I have never performed a face lift on a 35 year old. Most 35 year olds who undergo a face lift procedure have significant amounts of excess facial skin and sagging secondary to... more

35 - do I need a facelift?

There really is no easy answer for your question. Also, it is impossible to give a good opinion without examining you or even seeing a picture. The best thing to do would be to see a Plastic surgeon in consultation to assess your individual anatomy and give you realistic expectations of what surgery can fix. He/she can discuss your options and help you have a better understanding of any procedures. Dr. Cat Begovic M.D.

Facelift at age 35

It is very unlikely that a person is a candidate for a facelift at age 35. If the way your face is aging concerns you, seek consultation from a facial rejuvenation expert so that you can discuss: Botox Fillers Preventative measures for aging Skin care routines Resurfacing procedures Lifestyle changes

Age 35 is too young for a facelift

You do not need a facelift at age 35. The aging process is genetic and has nothing to do with working in the kitchen so often. Facelifts are usually performed on people in their 50s and 60s, not at age 35.

Facelift for younger patients.

Hi. 1) In New York, we do a few facelifts on patients younger than 40. 2) Usually, women your age can be made to look great with non invasive procedures or more minor surgery.

"Facelift" not your only option

Hi, Thank you for your question. While a facelift at 35 is unusual, it is not unheard of. However, age is kind of irrelevant. Its more about the anatomy of your face and possible environmental factors that are causing you to look old. It is difficult to tell what would best for you without examining you, however, I will say that a facelift is probably not your only option. I would schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon and explore your options. They should give... more

Facial rejuvenation can be done at any age that there is a problem which can be improved

In order to determine if you would benefit from a face lift or some other facial rejuvenation it is critical that you have an extensive consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon. It is unusual but not unheard for a 35 year old to be a good candidate fro a face lift. One of the more frequent procedures that I perform on younger women that will give a much more youthful and rested look is a coronal brow lift usually with eye lid surgery. This can be put off some time with the use... more

Facelift on younger people depends on who you ask

Dear Anna There are 35 year old who need a facelift. However, a facelift is a major surgery so the results should be worth effort. Also, non-surgical options should be considered and tried first. Of course this also depends on how you feel about things. The big reason to do a facelift is to repair looseness and muscle cords in the neck when there is similar laxity in the lower face. For many, non-surgical treatments are the ticket. This might include a microdroplet BOTOX forehead lift,... more

35 year old for a Facelift

The young face that looks old could be because of thin soft tissues, lack of volume. The first choice would be to add volume to the face by using fillers. If that does not work then facelift would be a good option. Regards

Visit with a qualified surgeon

While it is unusual for a 35 year old to undergo a facelift, it is not unheard of. There are many other procedures though which may work better for you and get the same results. The first step is to define exactly what bothers you then consult with a qualified surgeon who can give you both surgical and non-surgical options for rejuvenation.

Facelifts at age 35 are rare

There are many non-surgical things you can do to revitalize your face at age 35 short of a facelift. Thee include medical grade skin care, lasers, fillers and Botox. It is rare to do a facelift at that age. A mini facelift gives minimal results but with all the scars of a regular lift so generally it is best to wait until you need the real thing before going to surgery.

What is a facelift?

A facelift is a generic term to describe a procedure to pull the skin of the face tighter. Facial rejuvenation is not the same things as it more broadly describes anything that produces a more youthful appearance. The term s not important. You age ia only relatively important.

There are many alternatives to a facelift for 35 year-olds.

Hello Anna It is rare to have enough facial aging and loose skin to recommend a Facelift for a 35 year-old. Try to define exactly what it is that makes your face look older. Is it wrinkles, frowning, sun-damage. There are many excellent non-surgical alternatives like Botox, Juvederm and non-invasive lasers that work well without having to have a Facelift. Consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon and you can more easily find out what your options are.

35 is early for a facelift

If you could provide me with a picture describing what you don't like about you face, a treatment plan can be established. There are a lot of treatment options for facial aging, some simple and some complex. I do facelifts on patients in their 30's but very rarely. Send a photo of you face from the front and side and I will be glad to give you my opinion as to what would give you the best look for the least risk and cost.
