26 is Too Young for Mid Face Lift?

in general most 26 year old people do not need a mid face lift

with that said some (few) may benefit

you might be one of them

i agree that throwing fillers and or fat injections at the upper cheek to camafloug true cheek descent does not address the real issue (and thus a cheek lift/mid face lfit may make sense)

an other consideration is a well executed brow lift with dissection down to the zygmatic arch, this elevates the temple athe contiguous soft tissues in the cheek and can correct some of the problems it sounds like you are having

need photos and/or exam to tell for sure

 

   A midface lift at 26 may have little effect, but this would be hard to determine without an exam.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Pictures would help me tell, but I generally say that people of this age group in general do not need  a mid or other type of facelift unless there is a familial or congenital problem or tendency. Fillers (which you have tried) and fat injections may be good alternatives. If you think that something more drastic is needed, I would recommend you seeking the recommendation of a board-certified plastic surgeons for a consultation.

Impossible to tell without seeing photos. However, especially considering your age, it sounds to me that you are overly critical of your appearance and I suspect it's not nearly as bad as you make it out to be.One's thing's pretty certain however.  You will not have a difficult time finding someone willing to give you what you want.  You should get a few consults with board certified plastic surgeons.  My personal opinion, however, is that the mid face lift by itself is a generally worthless procedure and especially at your age probably not going to be anything but a collosal  waste of money.

Although it is hard to tell without seeing your pictures what you are describing is likely to be improved with fat grafting to the cheeks, such as in the link below
