I have got sagging jowls and no definition to my jaw what so ever yet when I pull back the skin, I can see my jawline perfectly. I feel very self conscious about it. I know that there are other non surgical options out there such as fillers and things but I really don't want this. I am pretty certain that I want the surgical procedure but I'm worried top surgeons that I have been researching such as Julian Di Silva will refuse to do the procedure because of my age.

Answer: Mini lift candidacy depends entirely on skin quality While 33 years old is relatively young for a surgical facelift, everyone ages differently. During a consultation with someone interested in a facelift, I look at the quality of skin, rather than age. Some women may have amazing skin quality at 40 and don’t need surgery, while others may start to form jowls in their early 30s. Visit a board-certified facial plastic surgeon who is willing to look at skin quality over age to see if you are a good candidate for a mini lift. If the quality of your skin does not warrant a facelift, there are also non-surgical options that may help, such as the Titan skin tightening laser. I hope this helps.

Answer: Minilift candidate Great question. The best way to determine whether you are a candidate for a procedure is to speak to a surgeon with experience in faces about this. Patients regularly come in asking for a specific procedure for what they feel will correct their concerns, however its up to the treating provider to determine whether you are a candidate. If you feel you need a mini lift and your surgeon feels the same way, then thats great. We don't determine surgical or other procedures based purely on age. If you have significant skin laxity, jowling and a lift would benefit you, then you are a candidate. If you have very little loose skin then you are not a candidate, and only an expert can determine this.
