Is a facelift appropriate for a young 24 year old patient if they lost an extreme amount of weight (150lbs)? (Photo)

I would not recommend a facelift at this age. I would recommend a lip lift. A lip lift does 4 things: shortens the distance between your nose and upper lip, increases the mucosa of the upper lip, increases the incisor show and pulls up the corners.

Yes. I have previously done a facelift on a patient after weight loss in her 20s and she was very happy, and a number of patients in their 30s . I do think technique and experience are important. For a natural long lasting result I feel strongly that the best outcome Woukd be with a deep plane facelift.
