Can I Have a Facelift in My 30s?

“There are no specific age requirements when it comes to facelift procedures, and in most cases, facelift works best for people who received noticeable signs of aging!” 

·       Facelift surgery is a great idea to rejuvenate your look, and whether it’s right for you require an in-person consultation.

·       A facelift is recommended when the signs of aging become deeply noticeable and non-surgical options no longer produce visible results.

·       Mini facelifts are perfect for younger patients in their 30s struggling with the earliest signs of aging in the lower face.

·       Mini facelift surgery uses minimal incision and has a shorter recovery time than traditional one.

Suppose you are struggling with noticeable signs of aging, and deep lines, prominent wrinkles, and sagging are your concerns. In that case, scheduling your introductory consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon is advisable. Regarding facial rejuvenation, surgical and non-surgical options are available in the cosmetic world. However, whether the surgical option is the right decision will be decided after evaluating the problem status.

Dr. Karishma Kagodu, MS, M CH., a board-certified, globally recognized plastic surgeon, says that facelift surgery is uncommon for anyone in their 30s. But I have performed facelifts for patients in their 30s due to two specific reasons: the first is that they have lost a significant amount of weight, and facial sagging has begun to become prominent, and another one is when the patients start to notice the tell-tale signs of aging, such as jowls, marionette lines, and loose neck skin.

Why is a Facelift surgery recommended?

Facelift surgery is recommended to address the prominent signs of aging that are subtle and are restricted respond through non-surgical alternatives.

The noticeable changes in your face that require facelift surgery are-

1)    Loose firmness in your cheeks, i.e., marionette lines around your mouth.

2)    Loss of sharpness in the chin and jawline.

3)    Sagging skin around your eyes.

4)    Crease lines and folds between the nose and mouth corners.

5)    Facial fat that has fallen or extra fat and skin on the neck.

At Dr. Karishma Aesthetics, Bangalore, India- Dr. Karishma Kagodu performs surgical and non-surgical facelift procedures according to the patient’s problem state and desired transformation. Besides surgical facelift, Dr. Karishma performs non-surgical facelift procedures, such as APTOS thread lifting, Dermal fillers, Morpheus 8 fractional skin treatment, Ultherapy, Thermage, and re-contouring using fat transfer.

What is the best Age for Facelift Surgery?

There is no age bar for facelift surgery due to the intervention of new techniques such as deep plane facelift, which is an actual repositioning of the soft tissues and muscles. Facelift surgery is performed not because you are old but because it is better to address the noticeable subtle changes in your face sooner than later. For example, suppose you are experiencing the signs of aging, and deep lines, wrinkles, and sagging are beginning to become prominent. In that case, scheduling a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon is good. An expert facelift surgeon will not ask for your age; they will look at your face. Undoubtedly, the best results can be experienced in young patients. It is always more logical to reposition the anterior part of the face rather than filling it to correct flaccidity. However, a surgical facelift option is recommended. Usually, a facelift for patients in their 30s is uncommon but performed to address specific concerns such as unwanted sagging after significant weight loss and prominent signs of aging that begin to appear, such as jowls, marionette lines, and loose neck skin.

So, you may want a facelift if you have the following concerns:

ü Excess skin and fat in the neck area

ü A sagging jaw line

ü Crease lines along the nose, mouth, and chin

ü Sagging skin, muscles, and fat on the face and neck

Can I Have a Facelift in My 30s?

Yes, you can have facelift surgery in your 30s if you meet the requirements to undergo facelift surgery. Even though facelifts for patients in their 30s are uncommon, but are successfully performed to address the visible subtle changes in your face. In most cases, facelift works best for people in their 30s because the deep lines, wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin are best corrected through surgical facelift rather than non-surgical ones.

One must note that everyone ages at different rates based on their anatomy, genes, and physiological status. However, saying that particular age is reserved for a facelift does not do justice to achieving a rejuvenated facial profile. Moreover, a mini facelift is a perfect solution for early intervention in younger patients. A full facelift is recommended for those in their 40s, 50s, and 60s and works best to address the prevalent signs of aging.
