Facelift Before & After Case 747

This patient underwent a facelift, lateral subcutaneous brow lift, and CO2 laser resurfacing performed under anesthesia. The before photos show significant laxity along the jawline and neck, with loose skin hanging below the chin and visible jowling at the lower face. The brow position sat lower, contributing to a heavier appearance across the upper face. Skin texture showed pronounced surface irregularities across the cheeks and perioral area.

The after photos show a notably firmer jawline and neck contour, with the loose tissue along the lower face appearing substantially reduced. The brow position is higher and more even, opening the upper face. Skin texture across the cheeks and lower face appears smoother, with surface irregularities less prominent than in the before views. The overall facial proportions read as more balanced from the front, three-quarter, and profile angles.

For those researching a facelift in Scottsdale & Phoenix, this case illustrates what a combined surgical approach can address: the before photos show jowling, neck laxity, brow descent, and surface texture concerns treated together in a single procedure under anesthesia. CO2 laser resurfacing, when performed at the same time as facelift surgery, targets the skin's surface layer while the surgical procedures address deeper tissue and position.

Todd Hobgood M.D. performed the facelift, brow lift, and laser resurfacing as a combined procedure at Hobgood Facial Plastic Surgery. Dr. Hobgood is dual board-certified by the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and the American Board of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, with a practice focused exclusively on the face.
