Patient is a 68 year-old female who modeled with frequency when she was younger. Over the last 10 years, she had noted progressive loss of definition of her once glamorous cheekbones and well-defined jawline. She felt that her neck laxity and jowls made her look tired when she was not, and no matter how much makeup she applied, she never felt as confident as she used to. She had been very hesitant in getting facial rejuvenation as she liked her features but she just wanted to feel younger and more attractive.
Facelift with lateral SMASectomy and medial and lateral platysmaplasty. A very private person, she was so happy with her surgical results she desired others to see what an expertly performed facelift can achieve. Not a person has mentioned she looks different, only that she appears more rested.
