Is 35 too young for a facelift? (photos)

Your massive weight loss of 110 lbs resulting in very visible loose skin in your neck and lower jowl regions trumps your young age of 35, and I do think that at least a lower face/necklift would be very helpful to get rid of the sagging wrinkled skin under your chin. This would create a smoother, sharper neck angle and a smoother lower cheek region. Lifting and firming the skin and fat in these two areas would create a much more youthful refrershed appearance. Although generally speaking 35 is young for a facelift, your excess loose skin presents a special circumstance where such a lift is appropriate.

Thank you for your question and pictures! The aging on the lower part of your face can be due to a number of factors including your weight loss. You would need an in-person examination to determine the best course of treatment in your case. With that said here are a couple of options that you may benefit from

A short scar facelift is a great option for many people. The recovery & downtime is very minimal. There are usually no drains and most people can go out the same day. The result is usually the same in selected patients as a full scar facelift, but it really depends on your exam. Also, from your pictures it looks as though you may benefit from a mini necklift as well. Again, these options are not definitive as it depends on your examination.

Surgery is not for everyone. In today's day and age, there are many nonsurgical options to consider although surgery usually gets the most improvement specifically of the neck and jowls.

I would recommend that you see a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area that is a member of both ASPS & ASAPS and performs a lot of mini facelifts and neck lifts but also offers all the nonsurgical options such as injectables and laser treatments. Go over your concerns with them and make sure above all, you walk out of there with several options and an idea of the pros and cons to each of them as well as realistic expectations.

I hope this helps and wish you all the best in your surgery and event. If it does, please take a moment to up vote this answer on the “respond” button on the top right.
