Description:
Patient Journey: Facial Rejuvenation
Age Range: 50-60
For this patient, the first thing she noticed when looking in the mirror wasn’t her eyes or her skin. It was her neck.
Over the years, she had become increasingly bothered by the loss of definition along her jawline and the laxity developing beneath her chin. While these changes happened gradually, they eventually became the features she noticed most in photographs and everyday life.
There was another concern she had carried with her for much longer.
At 17 years old, she experienced trauma beneath her left eye that left her with a subtle hollow in the tear trough area. While it had always been present, she felt it had become more noticeable with age. Several years earlier, she tried filler in an attempt to improve the area, but ultimately wasn’t happy with the way it looked or felt. She knew she wanted a different approach moving forward.
During her consultation, we performed a comprehensive facial analysis and discussed how the changes she was seeing were the result of both tissue descent and volume loss.
Her treatment plan included:
• Preservation Extended Deep Plane Facelift
• Extended Deep Plane Necklift
• Upper Blepharoplasty
• CO2 Laser
The facelift and neck lift were designed to restore definition to her jawline and neck, which remained her highest priority. The brow lift and upper blepharoplasty refreshed the upper face, while laser resurfacing improved skin quality, texture, and tone to complement her surgical results.
Every treatment was selected with one goal in mind: creating a refreshed appearance that looked effortless rather than obvious.
