Facelift Before & After Case 722

This patient chose to undergo a facelift, blepharoplasty, and CO2 laser resurfacing to address concerns related to facial aging. She was interested in softening deep lines, lifting sagging tissues, and creating a more refreshed appearance around the eyes. The decision for elective facial rejuvenation came after the patient noticed visible signs of aging that did not respond to non-surgical treatments. Their goals included looking more rested, alert, and aligned with how they felt internally.

Together with Todd Hobgood, M.D., the patient discussed the best options to achieve natural improvement while maintaining their unique facial character. During the procedure, the patient received a deep plane facelift, buccal fat contouring, fat transfer, upper eyelid surgery, and full-face CO2 laser resurfacing performed under anesthesia. Combining these techniques made it possible to address several areas of concern at one time, promoting harmony and balance between the lower face, eyelids, and skin texture.

Recovery included an initial healing period for swelling and bruising, followed by steady improvements as the skin texture and contours continued to refine. The after photos highlight smoother skin, well-defined facial lines, and brighter, more youthful eyes. The results reflect the patient's initial goals for a refreshed but natural look.
