How young is generally too young for a facelift?

Question:
How young is generally too young for a facelift?

Answer:
I am asked about the appropriate age for a facelift quite often. I try not to have a too young criteria but, clearly, if I feel that the concerns that the patient has are of proportion to the physical findings I would not recommend having a facelift or any other procedure performed. I really try to treat each patient individually. I perform a great deal of mini facelift procedures on people in their late forties so any younger than that would be perhaps, too young.
