What procedure would help? I'm likely too young for a facelift (Photo)

Thank you for your question and sharing your photographs.

The first thing to consider is whether you are proactive with protecting your skin using sun block. The elasticity of the skin is affected by ultraviolet light and regular use of sun block is an important part of maintaining a more youthful appearance.

Thread lift interventions have been designed for situations like yours. I do not have personal experience with such treatment but it would be worth having an opinion about suitability in your case.

A more invasive approach would be a minimal access facelift which involves a scar hidden within the side burn and it is effectively a superficial midface lift. It can be complemented with fat transfer to achieve a change in the balance of the facial volumes and the distribution of the highlights and shadows over the face.

You would do well with a nonsurgical, no downtime micro-needling with radiofrequency treatment called Secret. It is 3 treatments done monthly. As you age, you can boost as needed.

Hello there! A great option for you would be microneedling with radiofrequency (for example Morpheus8).
This is a handheld device that uses many tiny needles and radiofrequency waves on your skin to help create a form of controlled skin injury. The damage stimulates growth of healthy new skin and promotes some collagen formation to restore volume. This can help with not only skin laxity, but fine wrinkles and even some acne. Normally, a patient may receive three treatments, either under local anesthesia (numbing) or sedation (depending on the intensity level chosen) spaced one month apart. I have personally had this treatment done myself and performed it on many patients. This is a great therapy for you to explore with your chief complaint.
