During your #consultation, your skin texture and elasticity, as well as your underlying skin structure and your facial bone structure will be evaluated. Based on this evaluation, your board certified plastic surgeons will create a custom surgical plan, detailing specific techniques and recommendations to meet your goals. In doing so, he or she should be sure to have a full understanding of what results you expect. It is possible to #combine #surgeries. In fact, I commonly recommend other procedures to go accompany a facelift, such as blepharoplasty or a midface (cheek) lift, to name a few. The combination of multiple of facial procedures may create an optimal result. The best procedure approach will be discussed in greater detail during your one-on-one #consultation. I invite you to visit PacificCenterPlasticSurgery.com to view a complete list of surgeries commonly performed.

If you are not a #candidate, your surgeon can make other suggestions to address your concerns and objectives. It is extremely important to seek a board certified plastic surgeon highly trained with your desired procedures. I also encourage you to look at before and after photos of the surgeons actual patients. Also, reading patient reviews of those who have had combined surgeries will be beneficial. Gathering all of this information will help you make a well-informed decision.

Your question is very subjective.  I believe you look your age and not 40.  At age 30 many of my patients will begin antiaging treatments such as Botox, Fillers, and medical grade skin care.  At age 30, the goal should be more maintenance than surgery.

First I would perform an augmentation bridge and tip rhinoplasty with Allar base reduction. This would make your eyes look bigger. I would place an anatomical chin implant. This would slightly decrease the lip size, open your face and make you look younger.

It is not possible to fully evaluate your face with just the one photo you provided, but from the limited view of your face, it does not appear that you would be a good candidate for a facelift, or Botox.  Your face is also has good volume but there may be some prominence of your nasolabial folds.  A variety of fillers can be used to soften the nasolabial folds and this may be an option for you.

Your photo shows a 30 yr old to me.  Even if you looked older in years, it is very early to consider a facelift.  The best options for you are fillers and botox to begin with.  If you don't feel satisfied afterward, I would then meet with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to discuss what's concerning you. Good luck..
