5 months after full facial rejuvenation ✨

This transformation included a deep plane face lift, neck lift, brow lift, lip lift, lower blepharoplasty, and fat transfer to restore volume and improve overall balance.
At this stage, we’re seeing a smoother neckline, more defined jawline, refreshed eyes, and improved facial harmony with natural-looking volume. The goal is not to change how someone looks — but to restore structure and create a more rested, youthful appearance.
Results continue to soften and refine over time.

This patient previously had her implants removed elsewhere but continued to experience discomfort. In this case, Dr. Obaida Batal identified and removed a calcified capsule that had been left behind.

A significant amount of fluid was also drained from the capsule, which can contribute to pressure, pain, and inflammation. The capsule itself showed areas of calcification, septations, and nodularity.

All tissue and fluid will be sent to pathology for further evaluation. Cases like this highlight the importance of addressing not just the implant, but the surrounding capsule when indicated to help improve comfort and outcomes.

1 month post-op results from an arm lift combined with liposuction. Early improvements in contour and tightness are already visible, with continued refinement as swelling resolves over time!

Not all facelifts are the same.

In this video, Dr. Batal explains the difference between a skin lift and a SMAS lift. A skin-only lift tightens just the surface, while a SMAS lift addresses the deeper support layer of the face for a more natural and longer-asting result.

Understanding the difference is key when researching facelift procedures.

Lipo 360 with BBL ✨

Early intraoperative view before the patient was flipped, so the abdomen had not yet been contoured and additional fat was later added to the hips. This is not the final result.
Even at this stage, you can already see improved shape with smoother transitions and dips beginning to fill in for a more balanced, natural contour. Liposuction helps refine the waist while transferred fat enhances the hips to create softer curves and better proportion.

Final contours will continue to refine as the procedure is completed and swelling resolves over the coming months.

Breast lift with augmentation ✨

Immediate post-op result shown. The breasts have been lifted to a higher, more youthful position while implants restore fullness and enhance shape. The combination allows for improved contour, better projection, and a more balanced proportion.

Early result — swelling will settle and the implants will continue to drop and soften as healing progresses.

Facial rejuvenation planning ✨

During the pre-op consultation, Dr. Obaida Batal reviews the surgical plan and overall approach to refreshing the face while maintaining natural balance. A comprehensive strategy often means addressing multiple areas together to create harmony rather than focusing on just one feature.

For this patient, the plan included a deep plane face lift, neck lift, brow lift, lip lift, and conservative buccal fat removal to refine structure and restore a more youthful contour.
Thoughtful planning is key to achieving results that look refreshed, not overdone.

A lot of older patients come to us asking for “just a neck lift.”

But in many cases, the issue isn’t only the neck. As we age, the volume in the lower face descends, which contributes to fullness and heaviness along the jawline and neck.
If you only treat the neck from below, you’re often not addressing the source of the problem.
That’s why procedures like a facelift and neck lift together can create a more balanced and natural result — lifting the tissues from above and below rather than pulling only from the neck.

Every patient is different, but understanding where the aging actually starts is key to creating the best outcome.

Does a surgical lip lift add volume? 🤔

Not exactly. A lip lift shortens the space between the nose and the upper lip, allowing more of the natural lip to show. The result is a fuller appearance without adding filler.

For patients who want additional volume, filler can also be used, but in this case the goal was to enhance shape and proportion using her natural lip.
A corner lift was also discussed to address the natural downturn at the corners of the mouth and create a more refreshed expression!

Pre-op planning for full facial rejuvenation ✨

This surgical plan includes a deep plane face lift, neck lift, and brow lift to restore structure, reposition tissue, and refresh overall balance. Every detail is evaluated carefully before surgery to create a natural, cohesive result.

In addition to what’s discussed here, a lip lift and corner lift were also performed to further refine proportion and expression.

Full facial rejuvenation planning for Rebecca Brand ✨

Neck rejuvenation plays a key role in creating a balanced, youthful result. By addressing underlying structure and contour, we aim to restore a smoother neckline and a more defined jaw–neck transition as part of her overall transformation.

A thoughtful, comprehensive approach makes all the difference!
