This patient received the following procedures:
- A 39 year old female who ‘lives’ at the gym notes skin laxity along her jawline, droopy cheeks, and deep radial smile lines in her cheeks especially when smiling. She shares that she is redness prone and has a very low body fat percentage. We discussed that she needs volume in her face with a fat transfer but the fat may not take very well if she is in a constant negative caloric state and may need to use filler in the future. We also discussed that redness prone skin can have incisions that remain red for many months after surgery but can be hidden with her hair and/or makeup. The patient underwent a lateral browlift, lower blepharoplasty, deep plane facelift with fat grafting and neck liposuction during this 5 hour surgery. The patient's fat grafting had an excellent result but the redness in the incisions can still be seen 4 months after surgery. Also notice secondary improvement in acne scars from the tightening of the skin during the deep plane facelift.
Individual results may vary.
