Facelifts used to be something people put off until their 60’s or 70’s. Now Houston facial plastic surgeon Dr. Taylor DeBusk is seeing patients in their 30’s, and the reasons are more nuanced than you might think.

Some of it comes down to genetics. A heavy neck, deep tear troughs, and under-eye bags aren't always signs of aging. Dr. DeBusk explains why catching things early actually leads to better, longer-lasting results.

He also gets into how Zoom and social media shifted the way people see themselves, and what a solid skincare routine should actually look like in your 30s.
