I feel like my lower half of my face lacks so much elasticity for my age and I feel like my face is overall asymmetrical. I have prominent smile lines for my age but I do not want to get filler. Would getting a mini face lift be okay? I have provided two photos of my regular face and one of me lifting my skin to give the illusion of a lower face lift. Thank you.
Answer: Can I get a mini face lift if I am 20? Thank you for your question and pictures. You are 20 years old.....you look exactly like a 20 year old should look. Everyone has asymmetry in his or her face, that is completely natural and actually pleasant to the eye. Stop comparing yourself to everyone else and remember that everything you see on social media is completely fake and photoshopped! You are magnificent just the way you are. If you want to do something positive for yourself, invest in a good skin care regimen early so that you can take care of your skin in the years to come and age as gracefully as possible. All in all, give yourself a break, don't spend time comparing yourself to others, just be the best YOU that you can be. All the best.... Dallas Buchanan, MD VIVIFY plastic surgery Tampa, FL

Answer: Facial Rejuvenation -- PRP/Microneedling, Lasers, Sculptra, Thermage, Ultherapy, Botox, See an expert I suggest reaching out to an expert for a formal consultation. I like to recommend my patients start a combination of facial rejuvenation treatments. 1) Skincare with products and microneedling/PRP 2) PDT Light Therapy a few times per month with growth factors 3) Laser treatments like Clear + Brilliant regularly and others (Fraxel, Moxi, Viva, CO2, Erbium, Halo) a few times per year 4) Sculptra injections a few times per year for collagen production with fillers like Juvederm, Restylane, Belotero, Radiesse, and/or Bellafill 5) Thermage/Ultherapy for yearly skin tightening with or without PDO or cone-based Instalift threads for lifting 6) Botox every 2 to 3 months to stop movement lines and prevent lines at rest Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Can I get a mini face lift if I am 20? Hello @Vivid963791 thank you for your question. Is not possible to make an assessment just by the pictures. Besides you are really young for a mini face lift, your skin looks healthy and youthful is not sagging. Before any procedure that you want to get done have in mind that everyone has asymmetries in their face and body and ask yourself what is it really the motivation behind wanting a mini lift (even if you have asymmetries they are not going to go away by this procedure) and after that consult with a board certified plastic surgeon about what can be done. Best wishes!

Answer: Facial procedures at age 20 Your question is a common one, and I would say that in 99.999% of patients your age, a facelift is NOT the answer. Your skin is youthful and will respond to other treatments. Your photos are limited and you would need an examine, but based on what I can see, I would consider a buccal fat reduction. This would slim your lower face without any skin incision/external scar. Schedule a consultation in person with a facial plastic surgeon.

Answer: Facelift Age 20 is way to early to consider surgical solutions for facial again. Your photos look perfect and I would suggest sunblock and skin care that this time. You have a very symmetric and age appropriate face so no need for anything more.

Answer: Thanks for your question and photos… An examination in person would be required to properly evaluate you but it appears that the lower third of your face may be vertically deficient, which means that adding to the vertical dimension may benefit your facial proportions. A facelift tightens and repositions the soft tissues and skin, neither of which are indicated for you. Instead, augmenting your chin may be one possible solution. In addition, your occlusion needs to be evaluated to determine if there is the proper relationship between your upper and lower jaw. Please consult with a board certified plastic or facial plastic surgeon who can advise you on all of your options. I would not recommend scheduling a facelift since this is unlikely to address or correct your concerns. Best of luck to you.
