Hello thanks for reading this post. So I’ve maintained my “youth” over the last few years with regular thread lifts which I have been happy with. I’m in Australia and surgery at my age range is very conservative and most surgeons won’t touch my face. I would like some kind of face lift that pulls up my smile lines and a brow lift to reduce the heaviness. I’ve already had an upper bleph. I believe I may need to remove some of the fat around my smile lines
Answer: FACE LIFT AGE Looking at your photos, it does not seem that you have any skin or tissues laxity, you do not have jowls, and your jawline is straight, your cheeks have a nice shape and volume. I thin a face lift may be too much at this time. You can keep avoiding the face lift with fillers and some Botox, even threads do not seem to be necessary.

Answer: Facelift Candidate at 39? I don't recommend a facelift at this time, because you don't have enough skin laxity. I would recommend volume enhancement using a number of techniques ranging from fat to synthetic fillers which will help symmetry. Once facial aging progresses to skin laxity and dissent, I recommend a micro or many facelift. Sincerely, Philip J. Miller, MD, FACS Double Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Facelift candidacy Thanks for your question. In general, I try not to let one's age be the primary determining factor when deciding if he or she is a good candidate for a surgical facelift. Rather, there should be evidence of facial and neck aging that would make surgical intervention appropriate. In your case, based on the photos you submitted, I would suggest less invasive techniques either via volumization and/or focus on skin rejuvenation. Regarding your brows, your photos do not allow for proper evaluation. I wish you the best moving forward. I recommend seeking an in-person consultation with a board certified facial plastic or plastic surgeon regarding your concerns.

Answer: Early Facelift Thank you for your question and pictures. Your pictures show very early signs of ageing, so at this stage non surgical skin tightening (renevion) or skin rejuvenation (co2 laser) would help improve the appearance of your skin making you appear youthful and radiant. Where you have started to lose a little volume this can also be replaced by dermal fillers or fat transfer. Please have a consultation with a board certified surgeon to discuss your options. I agree a facelift is not needed for yourself now. All The Best

Answer: What age for a facelift Hi,As a general rule facial rejuvination is either non surgical or surgical, with patients usually starting on non surgical and possibly moving to surgical at some stage.The time for a patient to move form non surgical to surgical rejuvination is when the non surgical rejuvination will not achieve the desired result as it is not powerful enough. For different patients this will be at different times, and each patient need to be assessed and then informed as to the pros and cons and make a decision, as to if the procedure will achieve their goals. There is no age when this happens , though the more established the signs of aging the more likely the procedure will make a substantial difference and achiev the desired outcomeJeremy Hunt
