Lower Facelift in early-mid twenties?

Hi RozeRozeThanks for posting. It is always helpful to the RS community when young people post their concerns. If you feel you want a facelift then go for it.Our Concept Facelift is less invasive than a traditional facelift and there is less scarring, bruising and swelling for a significantly quicker recovery period. This innovative procedure combines the latest surgical techniques with the use of local anaesthetic to dramatically reduce the risks associated with traditional facelifts, while significantly reducing the bruising and downtime of your recovery, from months to a matter of days. This is a combination of a SMAS lift and skin tightening that allows the procedure to have it's longevity without the trauma and invasiveness of a traditional facelift.Make sure you find a qualified and competant PS who can give you the results you are after.

It would be very unusual for anyone in their 20's to be a good candidate for a lower facelift.  Photos of you or an exam would be needed to determine what your treatment options might be to help achieve your desired results.  I would consult with a facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon to discuss your issue.  

A facelift is possible in a young patient. Fillers, lasers, and Botox are more common techniques, but in selected young patients a facelift can be excellent.

Although younger people are starting to get more "mini" or lower facelifts, it is important that you be carefully examined by a plastic surgeon to come up with a safe and effective plan together. You may be interested in a facelift, but you may also come to realize that you do not need one. After a discussion about the pro and cons and alternatives (including non-invasive energy-based devices or skin treatments) you can make an informed decision which will help you better reach your goals. 

Hi, I have performed many facelifts
over the past 30 years and quite a few on wonem intheir late twenties toearly thirties that already had jowl formation.  Non smiling photos of your face from the front and side would help in the evaluation.   

Following the beauty principles
outlined in my book on face and body beauty, women look the most feminine,
youthful and attractive with heart shaped faces.  Heart shaped faces have cheeks
that are full and round in the front.  Cheek augmentation using a dermal filler
(I prefer Restylane Lyft) or with cheek implants for a permanent enhancement
will create full, round cheeks anteriorly that will feminize the entire face. If you have jowls, these are sagging facial tissues
and an indication for some form of a facelift.  The underlying SMAS layer,
of the face, must be dissected, lifted, trimmed and re-sutured.  The excess skin
is then removed and the facelift incisions closed.

My most popular facelift is the
minimally invasive, short incision facelift that has all the benefits of more
invasive facelifts (traditional, mid-face, deep plane and subperiosteal
facelifts) but with these added benefits:

•very small incisions

•minimal tissue dissection = less
bruising and swelling = rapid recovery

•can be performed in 90 minutes or
less, with or without anesthesia

•no incisions within the hair = no
hair loss

•excess fat can be removed

•excess skin removed

•cheeks, chin and jaw line can be
augmented with dermal fillers (I prefer Restylane Lyft) or facial implants

•most patients fly back home to parts
all over the world in as little as 3 days post-op

Hope this helps.
