Patient is a 54 year-old female who feels that in the five years since menopause she has developed jowls, and has lost the definition of her cheekbones and jawline that she was so proud of in her youth.  She think she looks constantly fatiqued, and does not feel as confident as she used to.  She would like to look younger and more beautiful without tell-tale signs of surgery.

Procedure:  Deep Plane Facelift, Upper and Lower Blepharoplasty with suture canthopexy.  The Deep Plane Facelift, when done in its true form, is the most powerful type of facelift in restoring midface volume, filling periorbital hollows, and creating the beautiful cheekbone volume of youth.  Facial fat is displaced vertically, eliminating jowls and elevating the corners of the mouth in a natural fashion and recreates the proportions of youth.  The photos are 4 months after surgery, and she is very happy especially with the powerful but natural effects of the facelift surgery.

Patient is a 66 year-old female who underwent a previous facelift 11 years ago and has noticed progressive loss of neck and jawline definition and diminished facial volume, especially in the cheekbones and midface.  She is bothered by the wrinkes around her lower eyes especially when she smiles.  Though she was happy with her previous facelift, she was disappointed with the lack of volume it seemed to restore as promised.

Procedure:  Deep Plane Facelift with periorbital erbium laser resurfacing.
This particular facelift technique is masterful at restoring midface and cheekbone volume as tissues are elevated in a vertical direction as opposed to the vast majority of other techniques that depend upon skin tension and unnatural pulling to provide results.  This imparts the “pulled appearance”., flattens facial features, and does little to provide youthful voluptuousness that is the hallmark of beauty.  She is extremely happy with results 4 months post-surgery, and feels beautiful.

Patient is a 57 year-old female who works in a youthful industry and has noticed progressive changes in her face that makes her feel old and unattractive.  Specifically, she dislikes her downturned mouth and jowls that have developed despite the fact that she takes great care of herself with regards to exercise and diet.  She has noticed progressive hollowing of her eyes and loss of the defined cheekbones, jawline, and neck she had when she was younger.  She still feels youthful and wants her face to match her disposition.

an opinion regarding what could be done to bring her face more aesthetic balance and
ultimately make her look and feel more attractive. Ultimately, she wanted a beautiful
appearance, and had studied photographs for years regarding facial aesthetics and wanted a
partner in her journey. I scheduled multiple consultations with her, listened intently, and with

immediate result that appeared natural, proportioned, and met her expectations.
