32, excess skin on face - Would I be a good candidate for a mini facelift? (Photos)

It looks like you might have a lower jaw deficiency that I'm sure some aging has exacerbated, plus with the associated weight loss. I would focus on volume restoration but you may need a lift too.

It's completely understandable to feel concerned about changes in your appearance, especially when they seem to come on suddenly or don't align with how you feel inside. Many people notice shifts in facial volume and skin elasticity in their 30s, especially if their face shape changed significantly over time.

A fuller face in earlier years can sometimes mask early signs of aging, and when that volume decreases—whether due to weight loss, natural aging, or other factors—it can leave behind skin that appears loose or less firm.

A mini-facelift is an option that can help restore a more youthful look, depending on your goals. I would recommend scheduling an in-person consultation to have a detailed and individualized consultation about facelifts and how it can support your goals (please see attached link).

Due to the effects of gravity, there is minimal sagging in the midface and lower face. Skin quality is quite good. In the 30-35 year-old age group, a facelift is more pronounced and requires scarring. Therefore, a deep temporal lift can be performed endoscopically in the temporal region, achieving a more youthful appearance in the midface and lower face. The advantage of this method is that the incision is made in the scalp, resulting in invisible scars. The procedure lasts for 7-10 years.

A mini facelift can be done. Another alternative for you to consider is a eccentric lip lift. This 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. This takes 1 hour to perform under local anesthesia and costs $4,000.
