Do you think I need a face lift ?(include pic)

I'm 43 and I honestly hate my saggy face.
I've always had no definition in my face
It gets me down
What surgery would help?
Would I need a face lift ?
Or anything else less dramatic ?

The tiny bit of your face in the photo looks fine. Maybe the rest is awful? Who knows?

Diedrewas · 11/09/2024 20:36

My lower face is sagging in my 40s but fuck it. Those massage rollers help temporarily.

AllTheWatersTurnedToClouds · 11/09/2024 20:44

You're fine. Don't fuck about with your face.

isaidyesnoyes · 11/09/2024 20:47

Your face in the pic is not sagging!

CharlotteLightandDark · 11/09/2024 20:50

I’d consider a facelift as am getting jowly and a bit of a downturned mouth - there’s no way on earth i could afford the £20k or so it costs though. I’m not sure fillers and non surgical injectables do much for jowls as they add too much extra volume in the jawline.

you look fine though OP :)

hollyhockfield · 11/09/2024 20:54

I’m 43 and you look like me. I’ve never once considered a face lift. Are you about to start dating or something and feeling old?

DeCaray · 11/09/2024 20:57

No. You don't need a facelift at all.

Dr Anil Rajani on YouTube has excellent advice for non surgical ways to take care of your face. He's a lovely man.

Well, no one NEEDS a facelift do they? It depends on whether they want one.

OP, you definitely do NOT look saggy though. Your face looks fine, you have a great jawline.

DrinkElephants · 11/09/2024 20:58

Just looks like a normal face to me

BedBathAndBeyonce · 11/09/2024 21:01

Nobody “needs” a face lift. Not one human. And I say that as someone who had upper eyelid surgery for pretty advanced lid ptosis. I wanted it, I got it, it fixed my complaints entirely.

From the photo OP your face looks fine to me!

faffadoodledo · 11/09/2024 21:01

Your face looks great. Remember almost every picture of a face you see published online or elsewhere will have been manipulated. Do not compare your own face with fakery.
Or with contemporaries who have even injected and tweaked.
You look just fine. Please don't jump on the bandwagon. It'll never end..

needingadviceandthoughts · 11/09/2024 21:25

There is nothing sagging in your face 😂

YellowAsteroid · 11/09/2024 22:18

I just see a normal face. No sagging. Spend your money on therapy instead. Your face is fine.

This. Think of all the ways you could enhance and develop your life. Bring dominated by a focus on how you look isn’t healthy.

CanYouHearThatNoise · 11/09/2024 22:20

Fishing for compliments?? You've got a normal face, and you don't need anything doing to it. Try getting therapy for self-esteem.

Discombobulated2024 · 11/09/2024 22:22

Of course you don’t! You either have facial dysmorphia or you’re not serious.

DahliaRose3 · 12/09/2024 00:01

I think you look really youthful. I had fat removal under my chin and jawline which really helped with my jowls and made me feel much better about myself.

OlivePoet · 12/09/2024 01:14

You don't need a facelift (really no one needs a facelift), and it's quite a brutal surgery. Maybe the techniques they use today are different, but my friends mum had one in the 2000s and she looked terrifying while it was healing.

minipie · 12/09/2024 01:35

You might want to do something about all those black and orange lines. Everything else looks fine.

Goody2ShoesAndTheFilthyBeast · 12/09/2024 12:19

Your neck looks like the absolutely, perfectly normal jawline and neck of a woman in her 40s. You don't need a facelift.
(Nobody needs a facelift as pp said).

I think you look fine.

This isn't THAT poster again is it?

YellowAsteroid · 15/09/2024 13:07

Anyone who thinks they need invasive unnecessary and often brutal surgery should spend the money on therapy or a hobby and stop being so vain.

Old age is inevitable - better to invest in being an interesting person than frantically try to be young when you’re not!

MrsSkylerWhite · 15/09/2024 13:09

You do not have a saggy face and you have lovely skin.

You’ve been brainwashed by instagram nonsense and plastic people on tv.

I use a retinol oil on my face about twice a week or once. It does help.

None of the retinol preparations work as well as Tretinoin.
