23 years old. Would a mid facelift a better option for me? (Photo)

September 25, 2015
Asked By:rjazzar in Marietta, GA

I have hypoplastic cheek bones/sagging face. I was told implants would be best, but I did fillers to test the waters. I have had 5 syringes of perlane and 2 radiesse. The surgeon did great, but Im still unhappy, plus I now have a more prominent undereye. And after the 2 radiesse, I felt the cheeks are too much, which means Imight not like implants. I really feel I need a midface lift, but most A's of other Q's say 23 is too young. Is there a medical reason why a facelift now is too young?
