I have a minimum sag in my jaw, smile lines and eyelids. I've tried filler, dermal threads and muscle tighting machine (i dont know its name) with no result doctor said I could benefit from a minimum face lift but it would be early since i'm in my early 40s. Also, he said "the result will last for 3 years max and the sagginess will come again. And then I can't do a face lift again." Is it true that the sagginess will come that fast and I can only do a face lift once in a life?

Answer: Facelift a facelift will typically last ten years although you will continue to age during that time. That's unavoidable. The other things you mention are a waste of money. Better to put that money toward a well done facelift.

Answer: Face lift in your 40's Thank you for your question. Unfortunately without before and after photos it is difficult to give you a great answer. It concerns me your surgeon said a face lift will only last 3 years and you cannot have another face lift after that. Most face lifts last 10 years or more and can easily be repeated as you continue to age. Since you are in your 40’s, you will probably need at least one more face lift in your lifetime. Because of these statements made by your surgeon, I would highly recommend another opinion by a surgeon who is a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgeon. Surgeons who are ASAPS members specialize in aesthetic procedures such as facial rejuvenation. Your surgeon will review your health history and examine you to discuss your available options. Best of luck.
