Patient Journey: Facial Rejuvenation
Age Range: 60-70
Sometimes the most important decision isn’t whether to have surgery. It’s who you trust to perform it.
This patient traveled to us from Florida seeking a solution for concerns that had gradually become more noticeable over time. While she looked wonderful for her age and maintained a healthy, active lifestyle, she felt her appearance no longer reflected the energy and vitality she felt on the inside.
Her primary concern was her neck. She was increasingly bothered by the loss of jawline definition and neck contour and felt these changes contributed to an overall aged appearance. She had also noticed excess skin of her upper eyelids, mild laxity through her midface, and a loss of the youthful facial contours she once enjoyed.
Like many patients considering facial rejuvenation, she did her research. Before finding Dr. Raggio, she had consulted with another surgeon in Mexico and was exploring her options. However, after encouragement from her son, she decided to schedule one additional consultation before making a final decision.
That consultation changed everything.
During her visit, she gained a deeper understanding of the importance of safety, surgical expertise, and specialized facial plastic surgery training. While cost and convenience can often influence decisions, she realized that facial rejuvenation is not something she wanted to compromise on. She wanted the confidence that comes with knowing she was in experienced hands.
Together, she and Dr. Raggio developed a treatment plan focused on restoring her natural contours while maintaining the features that made her uniquely herself.
Her treatment plan included:
• Preservation Extended Deep Plane Facelift
• Extended Deep Plane Necklift
• Upper Blepharoplasty
The goal was never to make her look different. It was to help her look like herself again.
Most importantly, she feels that her outward appearance once again reflects the youthful energy she has always carried within.
Looking back, she is grateful she took the time to explore all of her options and ultimately prioritized safety, experience, and expertise when making her decision. For her, that choice made all the difference.
