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: Facelift at 22
There are several things that you can do to make you feel better without getting a facelift. If you are in the Los Angeles area or would like to have a virtual consultation feel free to contact my office. You shouldnt feel like the Oldmanguy but more like a young 22 year old man ready to take on the world. Good luck

Answer: Nonsurgical options first Because you are still young, there is a good chance the skin on your face will firm up again as long as you lead a healthy lifestyle. For now you may want to consider nonsurgical skin tightening treatments such as laser skin tightening and fillers. These are less invasive and may be a better option considering your age.

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: A facelift is not recommended, but look into heredity and health history to help determine the source of premature aging
A few years ago, I wrote a book called “The Fine Art of Looking Younger” where I explained the things that happen when someone gets older: one is volume loss where the baby fat goes inward and descends; other one is sagging where the cheeks drop, the jawline becomes less defined and the neck starts to become loose.
Unfortunately, there are some factors that can accelerate sagging and aging. Some of the causes of early sagging are: inadequate sleep, physical or emotional stress, smoking, alcohol and the use of recreational drugs. In addition, a strong genetic predisposition to early sagging takes a big part in causing this.
I recommend that you do not do aggressive procedures at such a young age because it may be very difficult to undo it when you get older. Short-term treatments like silicon may look good right now, but after a few years, it may sag because of the physical weight of the material. I suggest that you have an evaluation of your general health status first before pursing any cosmetic treatment. Also, review your personal medical physical history in the past 2 years and consider your family’s pattern of aging. Taking little steps such as the use of some temporary solutions that get absorbed like materials called Radiesse and Sculptra are good ways to add volume to the hollows and may help with the sagging. I hope that was helpful, and thank you for your question.

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.
