I'm 25 and my face has aged and started sagging due to rapid weight loss . I have tried fillers but I really don't like how they look. It makes my face look heavy and weighed down I also have large pores and acne scars from tanning way to much and picking at my face. I'm young but I'd like to feel better about myself now so I can enjoy life like I should at this age and not feel self conscious Ive heard thatface lifts also improve acne scars n pore size Any suggestions would be great. Thanks

Answer: Facelift at any age You can get a facelift at ANY age. The patient's age is not the determining factor, it's the degree of skin laxity, and the reason for the laxity. Weight loss is probably the most common reason very young people have facelifts. At 25, I consider you very young. Quick point about acne scars: the lifting of your loose skin will not do much for the acne scars. In general, for that indication, facelift plus laser is a popular combination. Laser resurfacing definitely improves acne scarring. Without any pictures, it's hard to comment on what you need. If you do decide to proceed, seek a board certified plastic surgeon with experience in combining laser treatment with facelifts. I wish you the best.

Answer: Can I get a facelift at 25? Without photos- it's impossible to comment accurately. Generally speaking, a facelift has its major advantage- to remove excess sagging skin and some deep tissues to a more pleasing contour. If there is significant sag and excess in the cheeks and neck- you may be a candidate for a facelift. Although rare, i have performed this on selected individuals in their late 20s- early 30s.
