Default Is 38 too young for a mid-face lift?

I'm 38 and have sagging face and am concerned that if I get it now, when I need another one, it could look to fake. Does anyone know of someone that got this done at this age or earlier? Thanks!! so much for your help. My appointment is August, and I can't talk to anyone about this, so please help if you can!

It depends on the severity of the sagging. There is no rule that says you can't have one at 38.

I would go to the appointment with an open mind, see what the doc says and then perhaps get a few other consults lined up for different opinions. Then you can weigh up the pros and the cons before going ahead with any surgery. There may even be alternatives such as fillers to the upper face, which can give the illusion of a cheek lift.

Good luck.

Looking at your picture, I really don't think you need any kind of lifting just yet. You still have a nice youthful contour to your face. I know we can be so hard on ourselves sometimes, but you are going to look back on pictures in 5-10 years and wonder what you were worried about. I would definitely wait a while and in the meantime just enjoy life.

Also I have heard of people having complications with endotine lifts, it's just another one of those techniques that doesn't live up to the hype. And whatever you do stay away from threadlifts. Sometimes doctors don't have your best interests at heart, all they see is $$$'s.

But good luck with whatever you decide to do.

I have not done it, but I would think that your appointment should clear things up for you. The doctor will look at your face and see what needs to be done, perhaps you can opt for a less radical procedure right now. And you never know - you might not need another one.

It all depends on the condition of the face. It is always better to get plastic surgery before your face ages too much. If you have a facelift surgery this early it is much easier to take 10 years off than if you wait until you are older.
