Can I do a face lift at 19 if I have very lax skin and saggy? (Photos)

Question

Hello, during quarantine I gained 160 pounds so I was 300 pounds. I lost it all in 3-5 months during summer. I started to notice quickly my eyes started dropping and I have very bad smile lines and jowls it looks like I have no jawline and my skin suffered a lot of sun damage. I have an extreme amount of laxative skin and saggy I can just pull back. It affects my way of living to me because it just makes me look way older. I am only 19.

Hello @Resourceful518104, thanks for your question.  Before considering such an invasive procedure, it's important to explore the non-surgical options available to you. Non-surgical treatments such as Morpheus 8 or Facetite use radiofrequency energy which helps stimulate collagen production in the skin and ultimately provides improvement of structural features like sagging jowls or marionette lines. Be sure to talk openly with your doctor about all treatment options available so that together you can decide what will work best and make a non surgical protocol according to your goals and needs!
