Dermatologist Shereene Idriss says age doesn't determine whether you need a facelift. The procedure fixes loose skin, but most people actually want texture or volume improvements, which respond better to microneedling, Sculptra, or CO2 peels. Match your specific concern to the right tool, not the other way around.

I'm not anti-facelifts, but this question, her video, and your comment section— shouldn't be to chase one procedure that you think will fix everything, but to learn how to care for your face over time with the right tools at the right time. Microneedling, Sculptra, CO2 cool peel, whatever this means. You guys are throwing out solutions that do not even address what she's talking about, which is this. This is laxity or a structural issue, whereas microneedling is going to help with texture, Sculptra is going to help with underpadding, CO2 cool peel is resurfacing. Like treating your depression with an antibiotic or your infection with an antidepressant. Don't know. See, back to your question: is 37 too young to get a facelift? Newsflash: if you go like this at 37, 42, or even as young as 8 years old, chances are we will all look somewhat better. Even though we look better, that doesn't mean we should all be getting facelifts. Getting a facelift is getting rid of excess laxity, and excess is the keyword. Chances are at 37 you do not have excess laxity. Actual question is What exactly are we trying to fix here? Because her tugging her skin makes her skin quality look better. Trying to improve our skin quality, texture, tone, etc. with a facelift are thinking about it all wrong. Yes, a facelift is permanent, but guess what isn't? The aging process. And unlike your scars, the results of your facelift, those are not permanent. So instead of asking yourselves, do I need a facelift, ask yourselves, what am I trying to improve? And work your way back.
