Patient Journey #7418
Description:
Patient Journey: Facial Rejuvenation
Age Range: 60-70
This patient’s journey began with one concern she had been thinking about for years: her nose.
She originally came to our office seeking a revision rhinoplasty, hoping to refine the appearance of her nose and create better facial harmony. During her consultation, however, we took a step back and looked at her face as a whole.
Rather than focusing on one feature, we discussed how changes throughout the face, neck, and brow were also contributing to the overall appearance she was seeing in the mirror. Together, we explored what would provide the most balanced and natural result.
Instead of beginning with her nose, we developed a comprehensive facial rejuvenation plan designed to restore facial contours, improve neck definition, elevate the brow, and refresh her skin while preserving the features that made her uniquely herself.
Her treatment plan included:
• Preservation Extended Deep Plane Facelift
• Extended Deep Plane Necklift
• Brow Lift
• Chemical Peel
Following surgery, she healed beautifully. As the swelling resolved and her facial contours settled, she enjoyed a refreshed, natural appearance that brought greater balance to her features.
Yet one thing still remained on her mind.
Although facial rejuvenation transformed the overall harmony of her face, she still felt her nose was the one feature she had always wanted to refine. Because we had intentionally staged her treatment plan, she was able to fully appreciate her facelift results before deciding whether a revision rhinoplasty was still the right next step.
About a year after her facial rejuvenation surgery, she returned to complete the second phase of her journey with a revision rhinoplasty.
By waiting until after her facelift had fully healed, we were able to evaluate her nose in the context of her refreshed facial anatomy and achieve an even more harmonious result.
