Facial Sculpting Before & After Case 234

Facial skin, fat, and bone change gradually with time to various degrees in each patient to create a saggy and droopy appearance. As a result, plastic surgery treatment options will vary based on a patient's individual anatomy and personal preferences. Plastic surgeons will offer specific procedures so that patients can look their best with natural results.

This woman had a thread lift years ago at another practice. The thread lift did not give the results she wanted and left her with scar tissue and irregularity under the chin. Her aging neck and jawline were primarily due to loose skin and muscle. Fat loss in the cheeks also created a "tired" appearance. She was referred to Dr. Chaboki, a facelift specialist, to review revision cosmetic surgery.

She underwent a lower facelift, neck lift, liposuction, and facial fat transfer to the cheek and under eye areas. Fat injection is often recommended with facelift surgery, in order to "lift and fill" to achieve optimal results. Eyelid surgery and brow lift were not performed with her facelift. She is thrilled with her results and returned to work soon after surgery.
