Facelift Patient – Chicago, IL
We had the privilege of treating an elegant lady in her early sixties who expressed a common desire: to look her age, or perhaps a little younger, without losing her authentic self. She articulated feeling that her appearance no longer reflected her youthful spirit, and she sought a solution that would subtly rejuvenate her without drastically altering her familiar features.
Following a thorough and compassionate consultation with Dr. Dorafshar, a comprehensive plan was devised to address her concerns. The primary intervention chosen was a deep plane facelift, a sophisticated surgical technique known for its ability to provide natural-looking and long-lasting results by repositioning deeper facial tissues. This approach allows for a significant improvement in sagging jowls, cheek descent, and overall facial laxity, while avoiding the “pulled” look sometimes associated with older facelift techniques.
In addition to the deep plane facelift, liposuction to her neck was performed. This targeted procedure effectively refined the contour of her jawline and neck, eliminating excess fat and creating a more defined and youthful profile. The combination of these two procedures was designed to harmonize her facial features, creating a cohesive and naturally refreshed appearance.
The patient’s post-operative recovery was smooth, and her satisfaction with the results was profound. She repeatedly expressed how delighted she was, emphasizing that she looked “herself,” but a significantly more refreshed, vibrant, and younger version. This outcome perfectly encapsulated her initial desire: not to transform into someone else, but to reclaim the youthful essence she felt had been masked by the natural aging process. Her successful outcome stands as a testament to the power of tailored surgical interventions in achieving subtle yet impactful aesthetic improvements that align with a patient’s individual goals and maintain their unique identity.
