Will a Facelift at a Young Age Cause Complications Later On?

There are two reasons to have a cheeklift or midface lift.
The most common is facial aging with drooping of the midfacial tissues.
The other is to restructure the face. This is needed in some young patients whose volume sits very low on their face and has nothing to do with aging. Usually this type of syurgery is accompanied by a deliberate change in very sad appearing eyes, or eyes that bulge excessively, etc.
It is an unusual procedure and of course pictures are worth a 1000 words...
Be very careful before undergoing any cosmetic surgery, especially surgery that is controversial.

A good plastic surgeon’s goal is to deliver natural-looking results by enhancing and improving upon what one naturally has, using the technique that is the safest and easiest. If surgery is the best technique to obtain a patient’s goal, then it will be used. But often times with younger people, there are non-surgical, non-invasive options that are easier and will do a better job at preserving and enhancing one’s natural beauty. Unnecessarily doing surgery on someone young can create unnatural results, which may lead to more surgeries/revisions. That being said, a recent study noted longer lasting result in early middle age vs late middle age/elderly.

Hi there-
It would be difficult to answer your question without an examination, but generally speaking it sounds like you would benefit more from a procedure designed to improve the volume and shape of the face.
Seek a surgeon certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery and visit for a consultation.
Here's some advice on how to find one you like and can trust:

it is uncommon for someone at the age of 23 to have a facelifting procedure- BUT- The Surgeon needs to focus on your concerns and address them with the best procedure(s).
There are many ways to shape the face and provide a more youthful, aesthetic appearance.
You may try a more conservative approach- with fillers or fat grafting and procede with a lifting procedure in the future.
With Warm Regards.

It is unusual to need a facelift at your age unless you have a very specific diagnosed skin condition and I assume that you don't because you have seen dermatologists. I would advise you to see a couple of board certified plastic surgeons for a complete evaluation.
You may be a candidate for fillers ( Restylane, Juvederm, Radiesse). To answer the question you asked. Let's say you did require a facelift, this would not preclude you from getting a facelift later. Prevention would be helpful in the way of a good skin care program but the aging process still continues.
Good Luck.

23 is a very young age to be considering a facelift. There are other procedures you may benefit from, but I would really need to see photos to give you the best advice. Please send over any photos you have and I would be happy to evaluate them for you. My contact info is listed in my profile. Thank you and best of luck to you.

Do you have a history of being physically or emotionally abused as a child? It really sounds like you are allowing yourself to be victimized by the doctors you have seen. This often occurs with a prior history of abuse. Please don't allow yourself to be abused in this fashion. You did not provide us photographs.
However, I don't need to see them. I know you don't need a face lift and the plastics surgeons you have consulted should know better too. It is likely that if you need anything it is some facial fillers. Can I suggest that rather than having surgery you spend your money with a psychotherpist to understand why you feel the need to allow yourself to be victimized. Perhaps one day soon you will have something done but at least you might do it with better personal insight and from a better emotional place. Consider your question to Realself your cry for help.

A midface lift commonly utilizies the same approach we use to treat mid face fractures which most typically occur at a young age. Based on this limited experience, I would say that it should have little significan effect. However, I remain quite puzzled that you would be advised to get a midface lift at your age. It sounds as if your primary problem is volume loss or a condition known as lipodystrophy.

Its very hard for me to know why you would have age related decent of skin so early. A midface lift takes normal age related descent and repositions the tissue. There are other solutions to hollowing like fat transfer, you are too young to have a midface lift because you have no skin laxity of decent at this age. Make sure the surgeon you visit are certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. 

It is not reasonable to do a "Facelift" in 23 year old. Whatever your " facial problems" at your age the answer is not a Facelift. Without a picture it is not possible to say what may help but sometimes counseling if appropriate.
