This patient is a woman in her 60s from the U.S. who had a series of facial rejuvenation procedures. Her treatment included full facial rejuvenation - including deep plane facelift, platysmal necklift, middle neck plication, temple lift, lip lift, upper blepharoplasty with ptosis correction, lower blepharoplasty and facial fat grafting. Now, about half a year later, she’s enjoying life with a refreshed, balanced, and naturally youthful look with high satisfaction :)


Patient Profile and Concerns

Age/Sex : 60s/F

Main concerns: Sagging and loose skin across the entire face and neck, along with lack of volume loss and wrinkles on face and neck

Objective: To remove loose skin, restore a youthful appearance. To achieve a healthier looking skin, and create a more defined and refreshed overall look


Surgeries Performed

1) Extended deep plane facelift : An incision was made along the ear following the natural crease. Dissection of the SMAS layer was performed with extension to the anterior cheek area, along with deep tissue adjustment.

2) Platysmal necklift : An extended incision from the facelift site along the back of the ear was used to lift the SMAS layer and lift up the loose skin.

3) Middle neck plication : A small incision beneath the chin was made to tighten the underlying neck muscles, enhancing both neck contour and jawline definition.

4) Temple lift : Elevated the outer brow and temple area by lifting the skin and underlying tissue through an incision hidden in the hairline.

5) Lip lift : The Distance between the nose and upper lip was shortened by removing the skin along the lower alar base area, lifting the upper lip.

6) Upper blepharoplasty with Ptosis correction : Sagging upper eyelid skin was removed, and ptosis correction was performed to correct the weak eye opening muscle (“sleepy eyes”). Sunken areas around the eyes are were filled with micro fat grafting.

7) Lower blepharoplasty : The under-eye area was smoothed by adjusting and repositioning fat pads. Excess skin was removed, and canthopexy was performed to prevent ectropion.

8) Fat grafting : Fat was harvested from the body, then injected into the forehead, temple, cheek, and nasolabial folds area. Micro fat grafting was also performed around the upper and lower eyelids to restore volume in hollow areas.


Recovery and Anesthesia

Anesthesia: General anesthesia with IV sedation was used (TIVA)

Recovery time: She stayed at VIP for about 20 days, during which she recovered from the initial major swelling and bruising.

After 5 months of recovery, she looks more beautiful and youthful than ever—and she’s been living with great satisfaction. It’s hard to believe she is in mid 60s! With desire to look more youthful and energetic, her dream has truly come true.
