Answer: A facelift at 36 Thank you for your question. It brings up a very important point. Many plastic surgeons, who specialize in facelifts, recently started to move away from using patients' age as a selection criteria for a facelift. Often times early aging changes, such as sagging cheeks and facial skin laxity, begin at an early age and become quite bothersome to the patients. Many people today choose to get a facelift in their 30s rather than wait until the signs of facial aging become more noticeable. A relatively small minimally invasive facial rejuvenation procedure, such as mini facelift, can reverse early signs of age on one's face with minimal downtime and with very few risks. To determine weather a mini facelift is the right procedure for you, I would recommend scheduling a consultation with a facelift specialist.Best wishes!Dr. K.

Answer: Midface Your concerns are the descent of your malar fat pad. There are several ways to address this. You could have a mini lift with a high SMAS technique that will address the midface, lower face (jowls) and neck. Or you could have a midface lift which would involve only small incisions in your temple area. This would not address your lower face but then again at 36, you shouldn't need much of a facelift.
