Is it too soon for a facelift?

Thank you for posting your pictures and short story. Yes it is definitely too soon for you to do a facelift It is not a question of age, but you don't need one because you have no problem of laxity in your neck or jawline. And no amount of pulling will make you look younger, it will only flatten the lights and shadows of your face.What your pictures show is rather a loss of volume in the periorbital and perioral areas, which is a very frequent issue in young working moms who loose weight after pregnancy. at this stage, you have two options: - non surgical and resorbable, to do once a year: hyaluronic acids- surgical and long lasting: lipofilling (fat grafting)Both technics give very good results in good handsI tend to favor lipofilling if possible, because of the regenerative properties of the adipose derived stem cells which are injected during the procedure.hope this helps

Although I completely understand your
frustration with the early signs of aging, it's far too early for a facelift —
and your chronological age is only a part of that. Although you're beginning to
see some changes, they're not yet severe enough to warrant surgical
intervention. At this point, a facelift would only make you look overdone. Instead,
you're much more likely to get the natural-looking results you want with
carefully applied injectable fillers. These products add a bit of volume to
hollow areas, reducing that tired, downturned look. Their results are temporary
but still quite long-lasting. Please seek out a board-certified plastic surgeon
or dermatologist for the safest and best-looking results.

Thank you for your question.  Age in itself is not the only criteria for facelifts.  If someone has had a massive weight loss with lots of loose skin, then they may be a candidate.  However, based on your photo, I don't think you are a candidate for a facelift.  I would recommend fillers, botox, and possibly a peel or lasers for skin rejuvenation.  All the best, 

Rather than age, skin quality is what I look for when evaluating
someone for facelift candidacy. If you have enough sagging skin in the lower
face and neck to warrant a facelift, then it may be a solution for you.
Otherwise, there are a variety of non-invasive options that can help to restore
vitality and youthfulness to the face, including laser resurfacing and facial
fillers. I recommend visiting a board-certified facial plastic surgeon for an
in-person consultation to come up with an effective treatment plan for you. I
hope this helps.

Hello,
Thank you for your question.
Based on your goals, you may want to consider a
dermal filler. Temporary dermal fillers may provide you with your desired
results with minimal discomfort and recovery times. The solution to restoring your youthfulness may be to carefully replace lost volume first in the cheeks.
I recommend you book a consultation with a
qualified injector, to ensure you're a good candidate for this procedure.
Take care.

Hi brittie, thanks for the question. You don't need a facelift or even a mini facelift. You would probably be completely happy with some volume enhancement to the face. This can be done with fillers or fat transfer (the fat is taken from your abdomen or thighs and put into your face). Go in and talk to a facial specialist in your area for an in person consultation to find out more. Good luck!

There is no indication for a surgical procedure on your face. Some contour issues could be addressed in the office with fillers. Specific benefits depend upon your expectations which will be discussed with you by your plastic surgeon.

Yes, you are too young.  However, fillers, Botox, and microneedling are great procedures that may benefit you nicely.

You are not too young to have a facelift - there are some patients who have early signs of excessive facial aging who are best suited for a facelift to correct these changes. I just don't think you are one of these, and a facelift is not the ideal procedure for you at this time. Fillers can be helpful, but in your case you will require a significant volume of fillers in different parts of your face, and the yearly expense will be significant. I believe a much better idea would be the judicious use of fat grafting to volumize certain parts of your face, and help emphasize other parts of your face. The downtime will be 10-14 days, but the results will be long lasting and, if well-executed, will be extremely natural looking and feeling. If you continue to age and the jowling becomes worse in the next 5 years, then a limited incision facelift may be helpful at that time - I feel it is not indicated for you at this time. I am sorry about the stress - we certainly do age more in times of high stress - and being a working mom with children can be difficult as often as it is enjoyable. Finding ways to manage and channel your stress will be useful to minimize stress-associated changes in your facial appearance. I wish you luck!

Hi... thank you for the question..., and photos... I suggest you the use of fillers, could be fat transfer that last longer, to improve your face... nd leave the facelift for later.
