You saw Linda the other day so here's her side by side transformation after an extended deep-plane facelift, neck lift, and temporal brow lift. Several things I think are worth highlighting:
1. She just looks more RELAXED. Her result is elegant but also quite subtle. Not every facelift is, or should be, dramatic! She was looking for a natural, age-appropriate rejuvenation that kept her looking like herself, not necessarily younger, but more approachable. I love how she just looks more FRIENDLY. 🤗
2. Notice how the brow lift didn't really change the brow height much? This is on purpose as a good eyebrow procedure improves facial CHARACTER by supporting the brows diagonally. This helps her look more relaxed and less angry at rest.
3. Notice the decrease in facial STRAIN around the mouth and lower face? A proper deep-plane lift helps lighten the tissues of the lower face and neck leading to less muscle strain around the mouth, even without doing any surgery for the lips or chin.
4. Her skin lines are mostly still there. A good facelift doesn't pull on the skin so any skin improvements require a skin-directed treatment like a chemical peel or laser. This is important to understand. She simply didn't care for that and that's totally OK!
5. Finally, all of her facial features appear more energized, despite her procedure being relatively focused. Could we have done surgery on her eyes? Sure. Could we have done something on her lips? Of course. Maybe fat grafting? Yep. The bottom line is that she was, and still is, happy with her face overall. Not every case can be thought of the same and the best plan is a custom approach based on your goals and anatomy.
If you found this helpful please share some positive feedback for Linda! I am so grateful she's allowed me to share her journey with you! 🙏
