I feel there’s this idea that face lift, cheek lift, brow lift, bleph are not acceptable before a certain age. Of course I will do what my surgeon recommended which is to wait, but I’m curious is there any medical reason why you should? Like 30, may not have as much to work with, but what are the downsides to that truly?

Answer: Facelifting at Younger Age There is no one ideal age at which to have a facelift. The criteria that should be met include anatomical aging changes such as looseness/sagging of skin and facial soft tissue, that is a real problem for the patient. And the surgeon must feel that surgery will achieve a nice, noticeable improvement. Just because the patient complains of something, if the surgeon doesn't feel there is enough looseness to make a reasonable improvement, then surgery isn't warranted. Another aspect is the patient's perspective on dealing with aging changes. At a younger age, you can have less invasive, smaller procedures to improve early aging changes and maintain your appearance with subtle improvements along the way. This approach involves different procedures every few years. Some patient like that approach, while others wait until they have developed more advanced aging signs and have a more comprehensive surgery to turn the clock back quite a bit.

Answer: Facelift under 40 It’s nit taboo to do a facelift under 40, it’s just that very few patients really get any benefit from it. Consider the expense, scars, and risks and it’s overall not a great idea. I’ve seen some facelifts done on younger people and they look terrible. That’s because the good surgeons refuse to do them and they end up going to someone who dies a poor job
