Is 20 okay for a mini face lift?

I was using benzoyl peroxide for awhile and it damaged my skin really bad and completely changed it within a month. Now my under eyes and cheeks are kinda sagging lowkey, and I was wondering if a facelift a mini one perhaps would be ideal for it, because I don’t wanna go back and forth with fillers and stuff, I just want something lasting for it. When I hold up the skin under my eyes and cheeks it looks so much like how it was before, it really makes my confidence level so low. Help :,)

You seem like someone who would do very well with buccal fat removal, and possibly accutite as well depending upon your areas of concern. We do buccal fat frequently (and accutite), in the office and you can drive yourself home afterwards. Watch our videos for more information.

And my opinion, 22 is too young to consider cosmetic facial surgery, especially a facelift however, there are noninvasive options that help reverse and stave off early aging. Right now we are having great success with Sofwave ultrasound skin tightening

It’s a great question. The issue with radiation is one of blood supply and healing. Radiation makes healing a facelift more risky although it varies from patient to patient. In your case the area directly around the ear looks ok. So a very conservative lift as you demonstrate may be feasible

Hi from Istanbul, thanks for your question. A mini facelift effectively tightens the muscles and skin and would help reach the result you want. If you're considering this, the procedure would involve a preauricular incision, which would be sufficient without the need for a submental incision for...
