Would a face lift be a good option to fix my prematurely sagging face? (Photo)

Question

I am 24 but look much older. My face looks saggy, haggard, asymmetrical and permanently tired, especially bc of droopy eyelids, eyebags, double chin/turkey neck and smile lines. I am hesitant to get fillers because of the risk of blindness, would a face lift be a good option? Or what other procedures, surgical or otherwise, could help me look younger and fresher? Thanks! (I know I have bad facial features in general but in this question I am asking specifically about aging)

Your face is very pretty and I highly recommend you do nothing. My answer includes fillers, face lift or any other procedures you are considering at your young age.

Dear moonlightserenade,
After evaluating your picture, it seems you have excess laxity of the skin. It is therefore recommended to have a scarless mini facelift to remove the excess skin and pull it back.Additionally, for the droopy eyelids and eye bags upper and lower blepharoplasty can also be done to remove the excess skin under and above your eyes and give a tightened look. I would suggest that you look into vertical facelift to have a better appearance post surgery which doesn't look artificial and unnatural. It should be done properly by an expert which will guarantee that your skin will not revert back as the excess skin will be excised and tightened at the same time and henceforth giving a natural look. 
Best Regards,

Thank you for your question. At your age, a facelift may not the best solution for your needs. It is an extensive procedure that is typically reserved for advanced signs of aging. There are other treatments that can create smoother, brighter-looking skin. RF microneedling can help with mild skin laxity and enlarged pores for a refreshed look and a chemical peel can also help with early signs of aging. A liquid eyelift is a quick, minimally-invasive procedure with dermal fillers that can help reduce bags, hollowing, and discoloration under the eyes. Dermal fillers can also be used in other areas of the for sculpting and contouring. Combination treatments can be planned according to your needs with a consultation with a board-certified surgeon.

Thanks for your question! A facelift would not be the answer. Fillers and good skincare can be safe, reasonable options for someone your age. Good luck!
