8–10 years
If you're in your 30s and already thinking about getting a facelift, let me stop you before you make the worst decision of your life. People are coming into my practice asking me if they need to get a facelift at 33, 35, 36, and I'm about to lose my shit, yo. And don't be fooled, they're marketing it as a mini facelift. A mini facelift is still a facelift. It doesn't matter if you're just cutting from here or if you're cutting from here, or if you're also cutting from here, you're still getting a facelift. As a cosmetic dermatologist, you should not be thinking of your face in the now, but rather you should be thinking of your face in the how it is going to age, I. E. The journey ahead. Because you only have one face and unfortunately, or fortunately for you, you got to live with it. And if a facelift has a 8 to 10 year lifespan, which, by the way, you still need to maintain, if you do it at 35, hypothetically, are you going to do it at 45, 55 and then 65? What the hell are you going to look like by the time you hit 70?
