Question

At what age can you get a facelift?

I'm 15 and really need a face lift, my parents say I look well without a surgery but I don't agree with them.

Answer

At the age of 15 facial development is not yet completed, and there is no question of surgery along the lines of a facelift. Although facelift interventions are also sometimes used for beautification rather than for the rejuvenation, the timing is certainly later in life.
