Some people today choose to have a facelift at a relatively young age as a form of preventive maintenance. Having your first lift before the signs of aging are pronounced will translate to more suble results, but you'll be able to maintain a youthful appearance with "tuck-up" procedures over the years, and you'll never look like you're really aging ( that's what movie stars do .)
Friends may notice a 'refreshed' look, but they probably won't zero in on cosmetic surgery unless you tell them about it.
