I am 20 years old, but i already have prominent eyebags and nasolabial folds. I'm looking for a permanent solution, so I am NOT interested in getting fillers or facials. I know there are less intense options such as the mini facelift, but I really like the look of a ponytail facelift, I feel like it changes the entire face in a way other procedures can't. Am I eligble for a ponytail facelift at my age? Are there any side effects getting it at 20 other than potentially worse scarring?
Answer: Ponytail At 20 years old, undergoing a ponytail facelift for prominent eye bags and nasolabial folds might not be advisable due to the ongoing natural aging process and potential for overcorrection. Younger skin typically has good elasticity, and non-surgical treatments like laser therapy or microneedling might effectively address your concerns without the risks of surgery and scarring. Consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon can help determine the best approach for your specific needs.

Answer: Ponytail lift A more targeted facelift that lifts the cheeks with incisions only in your hairline is a good option when a younger patient has deep nasolabial folds. A face to face or video consultation can be done to determine if you are a good candidate.

Answer: Ponytail facelift at 20? Without the benefit of physical exam or at least seeing the photos- it's difficult to comment accurately. It is best to set up consultation with experienced Board Certified PS to review your options

Answer: Ponytail facelift at 20? Hello @Leila1122, thank you for your question. At 20 years old, you are likely too young to consider a Facelift. 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 Ultherapy use Ulthrasound or radiofrequency energy which helps stimulate collagen production in the skin and ultimately provides improvement of structural features like sagging jowls or marionette lines. These procedures also don’t typically involve any fat loss. 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!

Answer: Pony tail Facelift 20 yrs old is extremely young for any type of face lift surgery. Without seeing your pictures it’s hard to address your options but you may want to look into facial balancing with injectable fillers and or fat grafting. Keep in mind nothing is permanent and whatever you start this young will require multiple procedures about every 7-10 yrs to maintain.
