Could a lower facelift be done on someone in their 20s? Why not?

Thank you for your question. Lower facelifts aren’t generally performed at this age due to the lack of lines, wrinkles, and fallen tissue. Dermal fillers are a better option for restoring definition and youthful fullness along the chin and jawline. If submental fat is a concern, you could also consider Kybella injections. This treatment uses deoxycholic acid to dissolve fat cells under the chin to create a more contoured jawline. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon or injector. They will be able to review your concerns and determine the best treatment option to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.

In our practice, we perform a non-surgical face lift / skin resurfacing treatment using Renuvion Helium Plasma Radiofrequency. ​To get the most improvement with skin tightening, we combine Renuvion (formerly J-Plasma) with lasers (Fraxel, Clear + Brilliant, CO2), microneedling/PRP, Ultherapy and InMode FaceTite. I suggest getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer​​​​

Based on your photo, you're not a good candidate for facelift. For someone your age, I would recommend non-surgical options like Vivace or Profoud combined with PRP and skin resurfacing.  

Thank you for your question and pictures. Age is not a factor for this kind of surgery. A Facelift is suitable for all patients that have lax facial skin, jowls, loss of definition to the jawline and developing deep lines and wrinkles. The effects of aging to the face frequent give the appearance of looking tired who ever much sleep you may have had.  Unfortunately you do not present these signs so a facelift would be a lot of money for you for a minimal improve.  I would suggest a non surgical approach such as threads or dermal filler.  These are temporary solutions with no scarring.  All The Best 

Most people in their 20's and early 30's are not reasonable candidates for a lower facelift.  Based on your picture, you do not appear to be a good candidate for a lower facelift, but it is difficult to fully assess you with just the single photo.  People in their 20's and early 30's do not normally have enough excess skin in order to perform a facelift.  Examining you in person would provide more information in order to give you the best advice.
