Is 39 too young for a face lift?

Thanks for your question. 
As has been stated by the other respondents, I agree that age is just a
number.  If your anatomy warrants facial
rejuvenation treatment, then that should be the primary criterion.  In your case, I think you are in the early
stages, and could probably do well either with a face and neck lift, or more
conservative non-surgical procedures. 
It’s always hard to say definitively without performing an in-person
evaluation.  My advice to you would be to
book a few consultations with different Facial Plastic Surgeons in your area to
get a few different opinions to help you make the decision. 

Best of luck!

Patient with signs of early facial aging at young age ( e.g.
30s) could think that they need a facelift procedure. Facelift is usually not recommended before
the age of 50 because facelift scars could heal very noticeable. Early facial
aging in the form of development of moderate jowls, marionette lines and
deepened “laugh lines” (nasolabial folds) with preserved facial volume may be
secondary to midface soft tissue volume descend. Patient’s with this specific
findings could benefit from a Minimally Invasive Midface Suspension procedure (a.k.a.
MIMS), that reposition the midface tissues to a more youthful position without
the need of injectable fillers or facelift surgery. The procedure can be
performed safely under local anesthesia with minimal discomfort or pain,
avoiding the risks and cost of associated with "going to sleep"
(general anesthesia) or “twilight anesthesia” (IV sedation). Patients with
early facial aging seeking facial rejuvenation should undergo consultation with
a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon specialized in facial aesthetic surgery and
minimally invasive surgical procedures.
