I’m 35 and have started to notice my eyes and lower face are getting Saggy/droopy and I have fat around the lower cheeks and sides of mouth which is giving it an oblong shape. I also have a long face and have been considering a chin reduction along with lower face lipo or buccal fat removal but I also want to tighten up my skin In lower face and eye area so was thinking about a complete facelift. I want to achieve a more smooth tight youthful skin and v shaped face. Any advice would be appreciated.

Answer: Is 35 too young for a facelift? Hi. It's not a question of age but rather each individual patient's physical attributes. Based on just your front photo, I would discourage you from having any surgical inetrvention done to your face at present. Also consider the fact that you are a woman of color and more prone to visible scars. Good luck Dr. PG

Answer: The right surgeon for you? Far more important than the technique is the skill and experience of your plastic surgeon. Choose your surgeon rather than the technique and let them explain why one technique may be better than another. See the below link on some suggestions on finding the most qualified Plastic Surgeon for you. Always insist on a board certified plastic surgeon.

Answer: Facelift at 35? Skin care, retinol, sunscreen, peels, mini-lift You do not yet have enough sagging to justify a facelift. Concentrate on preventing sun damage by protecting your skin with sunscreen, hats and clothing. Have your dermatologist recommend a medical-grade skin care regimen with retinol and hyaluronic acid. Get regular chemical peels. If you do start to see some jowling, a mini lift, with or without a neck lift would give improvement. I hope this helps.
