Age 20, facelift for excess skin removal/tightening my appearance? (Photos)

Dear lookingforadvice2,

Thankyou for attaching reference pictures, it greatly helps us to recommend you better. As per your case, endoscopic cheek lift procedure can help to eliminate excess skin and will tighten the cheek area giving a lifted appearance which is more natural. In addition, fat injections into your smile lines will help to fill the lack of volume and relieve your face of the wrinkles.

Thank you for your question and photos. You don’t appear to be a candidate for a facelift procedure at such a young age, but you may want to consider non-surgical options such as RF microneedling to increase elastin and collagen production.
RF microneedling uses radiofrequency technology to create micro-injuries in the dermal layers and heat the underlying tissue, which encourages the body's natural collagen production to restore the skin’s elasticity. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon who can conduct a physical examination and determine the best treatment option for you.

Thanks for your question! I do not think you have enough laxity at this age to warrant any kind of surgical intervention. If you are adamant about doing something, consider certain lasers and microneedling technologies to give some modest improvement and tightening. Good luck!

Seriously, I hope you don't find someone who will do what you are asking for. Sadly, we live in a world where someone will do what you ask. It will not go well. Now, you may just be curious about this. The real question that your post raises is whether you have an abnormal obsession. There is a condition called body dysmorphic disorder that is characterized by a abnormal and obsessive thoughts about a body concern. Individuals with this issue may spend 3 to 8 hours a day with these thoughts making it difficult perform socially and meet your work responsibilities . Some have concerns about what others think about them leading to avoidance of social interaction or even work situations. If this sounds like you, I strongly recommend exploring these feelings with a mental health professional. A PhD psychologist or an MD psychiatrist can help you with these thoughts. There are some very specific treatments that help individuals with BDD to control these thoughts and function socially and at work. Hope this information is helpful.
