Can I have a facelift for excess chin & jawline skin in my early 20s? (Photos)

Question

Hello, I am in my early 20s and it has been 10 months since I had my jaw reduction surgery. I liked the results in the beginning but after the swelling completely subsided, especially in the last three months, I have noticed a lot of loose skin. I have also lost weight in the last year. I had considered threads but now I am interested in a permanent option. I want to get a feminine v-shaped face but now I am stuck with this look.. Last picture is before surgery

You are very young to be considering surgical procedures. I might begin by recommending injectable fillers to produce the facial contours you want. A more long-lasting option might be facial fat grafting, which involves removing fat cells from one area of the body and injecting them into the dermal tissue in targeted areas of the face. 
I encourage you to schedule an appointment with a board-certified facial plastic surgeon who can examine you in person and determine the best treatment approach for you.

Thanks for your question! I do think that a facelift would be overkill at this point in your life. Threads would be a good place to start to see what you like. Good luck!
