Facelift Before & After Case 720

This patient, a woman in her 50s, sought a comprehensive approach to address signs of facial aging and changes in nasal structure. Her goals included restoring lost facial volume, improving skin texture, addressing laxity in the lower face and neck, and achieving a more balanced nasal profile. She was interested in natural-looking rejuvenation rather than drastic transformation.

Her treatment plan included a deep plane facelift with platysma plication, fat transfer from the abdomen to the face, earlobe reduction, CO2 laser resurfacing (under anesthesia), and an open approach rhinoplasty. The rhinoplasty addressed nasal tip ptosis, thinned the upper third of the nose, and improved the supratip break point. The deep plane facelift with platysma plication delivered dramatic contour improvements throughout the lower face and neck, redefining the jawline, eliminating jowling, and creating a smooth, sculpted neckline with a clearly defined cervicomental angle. Loose, crepey neck skin was visibly transformed into a firmer, more youthful contour. Precise fat transfer restored volume to areas of midface hollowing, and CO2 laser resurfacing enhanced overall skin tone, texture, and clarity while reducing fine lines across the entire face.

The patient recovered well and achieved a refined, refreshed appearance. The photos above show dramatically improved jawline and neck definition, smoother and healthier-looking skin, and a nose in harmony with her facial features. Results reflect global rejuvenation that enhances her natural contours while preserving her individual character.
