Is 20 years to young for a thread face lift?

Question

I have midface deficiency so my upper jaw hasn't come out enough which means my cheeks are flat and my whole face kind of droops down. I wanted to get a thread face lift but I'm 20 years old and I'm scared what doctors will say and I don't want them to judge me. will they even perform the procedure? My face just looks like a permanent frown and quite long and squashed together, I would like to make it a bit wider.

Hello, 
I am sorry you feel that you may be judged due to your age. I believe that getting a professional consultation with an expert physician/practitioner who will assess your concerns and issues is a great idea and will guide you in the right direction for your needs. 
Best of luck.

Thank you for your question. Thread lifts are a great way to tighten the skin and lift the jowls. Another benefit from Thread lifts is that the sutures used in the procedure, stimulate collagen as they dissolve over time. Results will continue to improve for up to several months. However, given that you’re still in your 20s, you could also benefit from dermal fillers, PRP or chemical peels. For more information, I recommend getting a in personal consultation from a board-certified dermatologist.

Andre Berger, MD · Answer

It's always important to get an opinion from a certified threadlift surgeon, however, 20 seems too young, just based off of the execution and goal of the procedure. The goal is the lift sagging skin (generally due to aging) and stimulate collagen production. You may actually benefit from another treatment, such as fillers or a chemical peel, and get the results you're looking for. I would recommend getting more opinions for this by certified cosmetic surgeons. Thank you and best of luck!
