Am I too young for a facelift?

At 45 with early jowling, you're actually in a great age range for a facelift—not too young at all. Here's the reality: The average facelift patient age has been dropping as people prefer more subtle, earlier interventions. Treating earlier often means less dramatic surgery and more natural results. At 45, you likely have good skin quality, which means better healing and results. Some 45-year-olds may benefit from a "mini facelift" or lower face lift rather than a full facelift. Age is less important than anatomy. If your concern is your jawline and jowls, an in-person evaluation will determine if you're a candidate now or whether other treatments might help first.
