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?

Answer: Facelift in early 30's... In general, a facelift (of any kind) is not done for skin laxity. It's done for descent of deeper tissues and the skin just comes along for the ride. In your early 30's, I doubt that there is a lot of deeper tissue falling yet. For skin that is looser, it's better to work on skin rejuvenation techniques including peels, Fraxel, etc., because pulling on the skin with a lift is only going to give problems over time.

Answer: Explore All Options Hello, hope you are well. In my practice it is very rare for someone of your age to be a candidate for a facelift (of any type). The reason is that skin-only facelifts have poor longevity and relatively high potential for unsightly scarring. Nowadays, we have better minimally invasive treatment modalities for early aging with bipolar RF and microneedling. You may want to consider these other options (Morpheus8 and/or FaceTite, for example), before committing to a facelift.
