A A facelift in a younger patient isn’t taboo, as much as it is typically not needed in younger patients who don’t have the skin excess to warrant the surgical recovery and scars (although hidden). Still, in patients that have enough skin laxity/excess which can be genetic, or related to weight loss, a facelift is definitely an option on a younger patient. I think that it is somewhat taboo, simply because traditionally most facelift surgeons would tell a patient to wait or seek non-surgical options first.
