Am I too young to get a mini face lift at 28 years old or would filler and jawline lipo be a better option?

I don't have an age cut off for mini lifting- i base it on whether there is a lot of facial skin and if you are a surgical candidate- at 28, this would be very rare, and in your situation, you are definitely not a candidate for a mini lift- What exactly are you trying to achieve or look for ? The short answer is yes, facial fillers and injectables like kybella are the best option at this time, depending on what look you are trying to obtain. 

In our practice, we perform a non-surgical face lift / skin resurfacing treatment using Renuvion Helium Plasma Radiofrequency. ​To get the most improvement with skin tightening, we combine Renuvion (formerly J-Plasma) with lasers (Fraxel, Clear + Brilliant, CO2), microneedling/PRP, Ultherapy and InMode FaceTite. I suggest getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer​​​​

A Mini Facelift can usually be an option on most realistic patientsanytime after the age of 35-40. It really depends on your anatomy andgenetics. It is best to talk to your surgeon because everybody hasdifferent techniques and recovery time is usually based on a number offactors.
I strongly feel that it's very important to have an honestconversation with your surgeon about your particular situation,lifestyle, work environment and specifically which procedures you'rehaving done so that you both have the most honest answer about yourrecovery and are realistic with expectations and results.
Surgery is not for everyone. In today's day and age, there are manynonsurgical options like injectables to consider although surgeryusually gets the most improvement specifically of the jowls.
I would recommend that you see a board-certified plastic surgeon inyour area that is a member of both ASPS & ASAPS and performs a lot offacelifts but also offers all the nonsurgical options such asinjectables and laser treatments. Go over your concerns with them andmake sure above all, you walk out of there with several options and anidea of the pros and cons to each of them as well as realisticexpectations.

Dear Flamingoglitter,Thanks for sharing your Question, and photos,You may wish to consider non surgical treatment, you will be able to discuss this further with your chosen clinician, about the type of outcome you can expect from having facial fillers, and help you to replace lost volume and restore elasticity and tone.All the best and good luck

Mini facelifts are usually a good choice for patients who are between 35-45 and have only slight laxity, which is not corrected with dermal fillers, tightening lasers and Botox. It does however depend on your anatomy and degree of volume loss. At 28, there are many minimally invasive procedures you can have to define your jawline and restore lost volume. I recommend a consultation with a board-certified facial plastic surgeon who can review all of your options with you.
