Hi I am 32 years old and mother of 2 and I use facial expressions too much. I gained & lost weight several times during the 4 past years. As you ca see in pictures My lower face looks much older than my true age and that makes me disappointed. Doctors here suggested fillers + botox but these last only 3-4 months when and they cost alot due to amount and frequent need. fillers make my face looks bigger and all what I want a tighter not full face.

Answer: Facial fillers Even a mini facelift is still a facelift. At 32 I believe it would be premature to consider surgery when non invasive alternatives are so effective for your age demographic. On excellent option in my opinion would be Bellafill which is a very smooth collagen based filler with an FDA indication for 5 years. One kit of Bellafill injected into key areas such as temples, lower lid/cheek junction, nasolabial folds, and marionette lines would lift and fill your face in a very natural way with long lasting results.

Answer: 32 years old. I want to know why not to do a mini face lift? = because very visible facelift scars! #minifacelift #facelift Facelift and/ or mini facelift s are not recommended in patients before 50 years old because the facelift scars are usually very visible.Either a full or a mini facelift requires an scar in from of the ear to address the excess of skin and tighten the deep tissues of the face. Patients in the 50s and beyond, usually have a thin skin that allows the skin to heal very inconspicuous. In the other hand, patients in the 30s have very think scar that usually leaves a very visible scar. Very visible facelift scars in the 30s could cause significant anxiety and distress due to "facelift stigmata"In my practice, patients in the 30s could address the hanging of the lower face tissues and tired and aged appearance by performing a "liquid face lift". A "liquid facelift" is basically restoring the mid face facial volume with soft tissue fillers like voluma and juvederm, that ultimately "lifts" the face, thus giving a facelift-like effect. This allows to temporize the need of a facelift until the 50s.Young patients interested in facial rejuvenation with plastic surgery procedures should make a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon specialized in plastic surgery procedures of the face.John Mesa MD
