Why young women are having facelifts: ‘I couldn’t even open my eyes. That’s how swollen I was’
A trend of younger clients seeking facelifts is emerging, driven by ‘filler fatigue’, weight-loss drugs, and advanced surgical techniques. Amanda Preisinger, a 30-year-old real estate agent, underwent six cosmetic procedures, including an endoscopic mid-facelift. Although her new, albeit temporary, look is startlingly lifted and swollen, she reassures that it is not painful. This escalation in younger individuals resorting to invasive surgery highlights the pressure to conform to societal beauty standards and raises concerns about the long-term physical and psychological implications.
