Skin-only facelift in early 30's?

September 20, 2023
Asked By:tlc_babe in Dallas, TX

I've consulted with a few surgeons & they agree that I have some premature aging with enough skin laxity to be a candidate for an endoscopic/ponytail facelift. However, I've read about the scarring that can occur from repositioning the tissues underneath the skin, further making future lifts more difficult. (I intend to have multiple lifts done in my life, I'm not a filler fan) Can a skin-only facelift be beneficial for young patients who don't want the invasiveness but want that snatched look?
