I'm only 22 years old, and for some reason, my face skin is paper thin and sags like some older person who's in his 30's or even 40. I feel as though I've been cursed because people rarely believe i'm as young as I say, and I look very different than I did just two or three years ago. Is there any chance in hell that this can be fixed without 50,000 dollar invasive and risky surgery? It's 2013, so there must be SOME possible solution that is at an affordable range....is there?

Answer: Facial Fillers: Creating a Younger Look without Surgery Adding facial volume is a good way to give a younger look. You can start with fillers such as Radiesse to add volume to areas which appear deficient. Fillers can reduce the appearance of facial folds. Although these products generally last only about 6 months, if you like the results, you can do fat grafting to get longer term results. Patients with genetically looser skin are not good candidates for face lifting until their late 30's to early 40's in my view. Hope this helps!

Answer: Non-Surgical Options for a 22yr Old with Saggy Skin Short of surgical procedures, fillers are the best answer for rejuvenating and tightening loose skin. Anything that puts more volume under your skin is going to have the effect of filling out the skin "envelope" more and therefore producing a tighter, fuller, rejuvenating effect. A filler product called Sculptra is probably the best option for you -- although this is a fairly pricey option.

Answer: Face sagging in 22 year old
I agree that there is some premature aging evidenced in the photos you provided. It is true that all of us age at different rates, and that this is not always fair. I doubt that many on this forum, if any, would recommend a "$50,000 facelift." I do think that facial fillers may be an excellent option for you.
