hello doctor. I am a 21 years old. I complain about my face. Under the eyes, nazolabial lines, My eyelids...Is there any drawback to having surgery at this age? I am very unhappy with this situation. I hate myself. Please help.

Answer: Facelift at 21 I would certainly not recommend nor encourage a facelift at your age. Jowls and tightening of loose skin are not evident from what I can see, which is typically a visible issue for women or men seeking a facelift procedure. Your skin is still young and full of collagen but if you would like to improve your appearance, you could consider filler which may very well give you the the appearance you are looking for. There a various types of filler which serve different purposes and are extremely effective if used properly. I would suggest you speak to a Plastic Surgeon or a Dermatologist who specializes in facial injections, to best guide you. I would also suggest you research injectable fillers to better educate yourself as well. Hope this helps and good luck.Dr. Philip Solomon

Answer: Facelift at 21 While I am definitely of the opinion that age itself should not determine whether or not a facelift should be done, I would like to think that there are other options for you at age 21 that would achieve your goals without surgery. You really need to see a specialist in facelift surgery who hopefully will be honest with you.Good luck.
