A bit young for a facelift. However, rather than try to figure out all the different types of facelifts ( they are actually all similar), search for the right surgeon who you feel comfortable using. That’s far more important

The definition of facial rejuvenation varies from surgeon to surgeon and means different things to different patients. In general it is the process to try to reverse the facial appearance caused by aging. It may involve improving the skin texture and complexion, diminishing skin discoloration, minimizing fine lines and wrinkles, contouring hollows, or tightening loose tissue that has lost its elasticity.

There are a variety of procedures, both non-surgical and surgical which can be utilized to achieve these various goals. Fillers, Botox or Dysport, micro-fat grafts, chemical peels, a skin care program, lasers, skin tightening, and limited surgical lifts are some of the methods that are used to achieve a cosmetic improvement. Each has advantages and disadvantages as well as limitations of what they can achieve. The best technique or combination of procedures depends on desired outcome, individual anatomy, underlying medical health, and extent of aging. There is no one approach that is ideal for everyone.

Keep in mind, that following the advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you exactly what to do without examining you, physically feeling the tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history, and discussing the pros and cons of each procedure may not be in your best interest. I would suggest you find a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) that you trust and are comfortable with who has all of the modalities of treatment available. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person.

Facial rejuvenation needs to be individualized. What would be an ideal approach for one patient is not necessarily the same for someone else. Based on the examination and discussion at the consultation, you should have a better understanding of the various options that can achieve the best cosmetic result for you.

Hello. I can see in the photo that you can pull off quite much of your skin. This is a problem of looseness in collagen and elastin fibers rather than a sign of aging. You can easily solve this problem with a lower face lift surgery and take high benefit from it.

hope this helped.

A full set of facial photographs from all angles in a chin neutral position, including your neck are going to be required for make to make a decision on the best procedure.

It would be better for you to submit photos of your face without pulling on your skin. Everyone can pull on their skin. At your age, I would suggest micro-needling with radiofrequency like Secret or Morpheus.
