I recommend healthy lifestyle changes, not a facelift
As a physician, a facelift is not the only solution for you. At the age of 32, you are well below the typical age for a facelift. The fact that you are overweight can have a tremendous impact on your facial appearance as well as your general health. I would advice that you first seek the guidance of a physician and a nutritionist or somebody to help you with exercise and personal training. Do whatever it takes to get you into a healthier lifestyle. I always teach my patients that doing...

Premature aging
It’s very difficult to tell without really examining you, but a good skin care regimen would most likely help you with your skin problem. I have a licensed aesthetician on board with my practice, and my suggestion would be to first sit with a board certified plastic surgeon, who would be able to guide you in suggestions about fillers etc. for your marionette lines and most likely your surgeon will also have an aesthetician on board also.

Facelift question - premature aging
Absolutely not! Go to your local mainstream provider (plastic surgeon, dermatologist or a facial plastic surgeon) and get a office consult! In fact, get 2-3 consults and you will see there are plenty of alternatives! Non-surgical facial rejuvenation has many possibilities such fillers, botox, photofacial and laser treatments to name a few.
Best Wishes!!

Am I aging prematurely & what to do?
We age according to our genetics inherited from our ancestors (out of our control), decisions we make regarding our diet, sun, smoking, weight, etc (in our control) and sometimes a bit of good or bad fortune thrown in. Assuming your diet is decent, sun damage is minimal, smoke exposure is slight and your overall health is good, what else can we do to reduce the rate at which we age and show aging changes? There are a range of options beginning with pharmaceutical strength skin care,...

Premature aging--what to do.
Your best overall improvements would be achieved by losing weight, as this will help to slim the cheeks and decrease the apparent depth of your nasolabial and subcommissural (marionette) folds. HA fillers such as Restylane, Juvederm, and others can provide additional smoothing in these areas, and if you like the effect, consider fat grafting for permanent softening.
Loose skin can only be addressed via facelift, but at 32 you have supple, elastic skin that should "snap back" nicely after...

Facelift or Fillers
In younger patients, filler may be a very good option. Another option for patients with more areas to fill is fat grafting.

Surgery vs. fillers
Alot of your concerns can be addressed with fillers.....more and more patients are turning to their use..do they last? The result about the midface,lower eyelids,the hollowness and minimizing the jowls,are excellent.Having said that,i have done partial lifting on younger patients with excellent results,since in m
any cases patients come in specifically for a procedure...In my experience,the younger the patient the happier they are with the results.....
