"Obviously I'm going to tell everyone as they come in, Just so you know, this is not how I look,' says the 30-year-old real estate agent from south Florida. How she looks is, well, a little startling her face swollen and preternaturally lifted, as though held together by industrial-grade tape. Her new and she's keen to stress, temporary look is the result of six cosmetic procedures, including an endoscopic mid-facelift, performed by a doctor in Istanbul, Turkey, last month."
"I have 28-year-olds asking for facelifts, says London-based aesthetic plastic surgeon Georgios Orfaniotis, a former NHS consultant who specialises in the head and the neck. It's a very significant procedure, and I'm a bit concerned when I see people choosing it as a lifestyle choice. A facelift, also known as a rhytidectomy, lifts the ligaments in the face that begin to droop as we age. Our faces are built a little like layers of an onion, says Kent-based facial plastic surgeon Marc Pacifico."
Amanda Preisinger, a 30-year-old real estate agent from south Florida, underwent six cosmetic procedures including an endoscopic mid-facelift in Istanbul, resulting in extreme swelling and a markedly lifted appearance. She previewed her post-surgery look before her daughter's 13th birthday and described distressing initial reactions from family. Plastic surgeons report a growing number of patients in their 20s and 30s seeking facelifts, well before the traditional 40–60 age range, prompting concern among some specialists about treating genetics versus using surgery as a lifestyle choice. A facelift (rhytidectomy) repositions ligaments and deeper facial layers such as the SMAS to counter sagging.
