Q: I'm 44 years of age and have noticed some excess wrinkling around my eyes, jowling, and some thickness in my neck and under my chin. My friends say I am looking tired. Am I too young for a facelift?

A: The trend over the past ten years has been for more and more patients in their late thirties and early forties to actively consider facelifting. Using less invasive techniques such as the endoscope, a growing number of patients are having a limited incisional facelift to tighten up the jowl and neck area. 


By having the browlifting procedure, the corners of the eyebrows are elevated, thereby tightening the upper cheek area.Often, especially in the Australian environment, some kind of skin rejuvenation program as well as laser resurfacing or chemical peels are sought.

No, you are not too young to consider facelifting, the newer procedures today do not lead to that stretched, over-operated-on Hollywood appearance.
