CO2 Laser Resurfacing (under anesthesia) Before & After Case 729

This patient sought a comprehensive facial rejuvenation to address the visible effects of aging, particularly along the jawline, cheeks, and around the mouth. Their goals included restoring facial balance, improving skin texture, and creating a more youthful lip contour. After a detailed consultation, the patient and Dr. Todd Hobgood developed a surgical plan that included a deep plane facelift, subnasal lip lift, CO2 laser resurfacing under anesthesia, fat transfer from the abdomen to the face, and perioral dermabrasion.

The elective procedure began with a deep plane facelift to lift and reposition facial tissues while maintaining natural movement and expressions. This was followed by a surgical lip enhancement and support with subtle fat transfer, creating gentle shape and improved lip-show. CO2 laser resurfacing and perioral dermabrasion addressed years of sun exposure and fine lines. Recovery progressed in stages, with noticeable improvements in facial definition and skin quality as swelling resolved.

Early results show smoother skin texture, restored volume to the cheeks and lips, and subtle enhancement of facial contours. The patient’s before and after images highlight significant changes along the lower face and around the mouth, with more even skin tone and improved youthfulness. Their outcome demonstrates the possibilities available with a personalized approach to facelift in Scottsdale & Phoenix, especially when advanced techniques are combined.

Dr. Todd Hobgood’s experience in deep plane facelift, surgical lip enhancement, and laser treatments is reflected in this patient’s natural-looking results. His commitment to individualized planning and careful surgical execution at Hobgood Facial Plastic Surgery aims to create facial harmony with each patient’s unique features in mind.
