Am I Too Young for an Advanced Mini Facelift? (photo)

Hello Steph D!
Thank you for your question and photos. In general, aging begins in their late 20s, and the signs of it become perceptible by 30-35 and people starts to lose  facial volume, that cause appearing the folds, furrows and facial lines, sometime "marionette lines". By the age of 55 -60 years these changers are permanent already, that are difficult to correct with a facelift alone. 
If a 37-year old woman isn't happy about her appearance and thinks non-surgical treatments  don't work for him, then she becomes a candidate for a facelift. I think a combination of stem cell riched fat grafting and a SMAS lift may be the right thing for you. An exam in person is a must to get a proper evaluation.On the other hand your upper lids, eyebrow and forehead seems fine. That means lifting these upper face parts do not seem plausible at the moment but again an exam in person is key to get a proper evaluation and final decision.

A person’s age is best guessed by the appearance of their face. If you feel that your face does not reflect how young you feel inside, you may be a candidate for a facelift. During your #consultation, your skin texture and elasticity, as well as your underlying skin structure and your facial bone structure will be evaluated. Based on this evaluation, your board certified plastic surgeons will create a custom surgical plan, detailing specific techniques and recommendations to meet your goals. In doing so, he or she should be sure to have a full understanding of what results you expect. If you are not a #candidate, your surgeon can make other suggestions to address your concerns and objectives.Patients who desire facial rejuvenation that is affordable, quick, and effective should consider the Lite-lift™. Like the Life-Style™ facelift, this is a modified facelift, individualized for each patient, that can be performed in the office with a local anesthetic and improve signs of aging around the neck, jawbone and lower face. These procedures are not "Thread-lifts" or "String-lifts". We do not use the "barbed" sutures employed in these other lifting operations. The Lite-lift™ uses longer lasting techniques that are discussed below. Because the incisions are limited, there is less bruising, swelling and healing time for most patients. Many patients can be back to work in one to two weeks looking rested and more youthful.The best candidates for #LiteLift are non-smoking patients 35-60 years old with early changes of the lower face and the neck. But whose skin has elasticity with well defined bone structure. Older patients who cannot or do not wish to have a longer operation or general anesthetic can be improved with a Lite Lift™.

You are a candidate for a facelift.

However you are a better candidate for a facelift that adjusts the deep tissues upwards than for a 'mini lift' alone.

A mini lift will tighten your skin somewhat, but not do enough to the deep layer to give you an optimal result.

Strategic volume replacement will give your face a prettier, softer look as well.
