I'm 34. Am I too young for mini facelift? (Photo)

Thank for your question and pictures.  It appears you have a bit of skin laxity around the jowl area, therefore are non invasive facelift which I offer my patients, which is performed under local anaesthetic.  Overall you are still young and maybe non surgical treatment would be beneficial.  Most of my patient want a facelift however do not want the downtime associated.  The Concept Facelift is the procedure I perform, which combines the latest surgical techniques with the use of local anaesthetic to dramatically reduce the risks associated with traditional facelifts, while significantly reducing the bruising and downtime of your recovery, from months to a matter of days. The lower facelift would lessen the marionette lines, however does not remove.  These can be soften even more by chemical peels or laser treatments.
If you have lax facial skin, lost volume and feel that you have jowls and wrinkles on your cheeks and you look tired when you're not then the concept facelift can help improve your appearance. With concept facelift you will look natural and fresh just like the way you feel inside. There are no bandages, drains and hospital stay but with lasting results of traditional facelift techniques it fits with today's age.
What are the benefits of a local anaesthetic facelift?
Minimally invasive as it is a short scar faceliftThere is minimal bruising and swelling, especially when compared to traditional faceliftsAs the procedure is performed under local anaesthetic, you can go straight home following the procedureFull recovery in a matter of days rather than monthsSignificantly less risk than Facelifts performed under general anaestheticFresh, youthful and long lasting resultsPlease make sure you find a reputable and qualified plastic surgeon who can assess you properly to give you a realistic idea of what outcome you can achieve.  All The Best 

Based on your anatomy, I would actually first recommend a chin augmentation.  A chin augmentation would help create balance between your defined midface and slightly less-prominent chin (I am assuming you are of Asian descent).  This procedure would cost less, have less potential complications, and have a quicker recovery.  A minilift on a younger patient with thicker Asian skin is a set up for potential scarring.  A chin augmentation may give you the look (and balance) you want with much less risk.  Of course a chin augmentation would unfortunately not address any looseness of the facial skin and jawline.  

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​​​​

More and more women in their 30s are doing mini face lifts.  The advantages are that it can correct early jowls that result in a square lower face appearance and it can be done under local anesthesia in the office.  The incisions are less extensive and in this young cohort they heal imperceptibly.  If you have weighed the risks and benefits carefully, it may be a good procedure for you.  

Facial contouring in your 30'sThere may be some good non surgical options at this point.#ThermiRF or other RF sources can tighten.  microliposuction and for you, buccal fat pad removal may be of benefit

Thank you for the question and your photos. I agree with the general assessment of the other experts -- your issues seem to be in the chin/jawline projection. This is best addressed with a combined pre-jowl and chin implant. You are a bit young still for invasive surgical procedures. Best of luck!

Most mini facelifts could start around $5,000 but every doctor has their own prices. Go for a consultation and ask the doctors what they recommend for you and how much it would cost.

Thanks for posting your photo and question.  An in person exam is really needed here to evaluate your aging three dimensionally.  It is possible that a mini facelift would help with the fullness seen in the lower face. IF there is enough skin this may help and again an exam is required.  However, other procedures may help such as radio frequency, buccal fat reduction, and/or chin augmentation. Please see an experienced board certified facial plastic surgeon.   

Based on your photos, it appears that you would benefit from a pre-jowl implant or a pre-jowl chin implant. In addition, you may want to consider a non-surgical tightening procedure, such as Ultherapy before considering a Mini-Lift. While I pay less attention to a patient's chronological age and more attention to the facial anatomy (bony structure, skin laxity, muscle tone and volume) when considering whether a patient is a good candidate for a mini-lift, I would recommend considering some less invasive options before trying a mini-lift in your case. Hope this helps!

Chin augmentation and filler for weak chin and early aging is all you need now. See an experienced surgeon for these procedures. This will give your face the balance you need.
