Facelift - Traceless Facelift Before & After Case 253

She worked hard to lose more than 100 pounds, but although this 57-year-old woman felt like a new person, the sagging skin on her lower face kept her from enjoying her new appearance. Wanting to rid herself of the lax, heavy-looking skin on her neck and jowl, she turned to Stoker Plastic Surgery. She hoped surgery could help her feel more confident and show off her hard work.

She explained to her surgeon that when she lost so much fat, the skin on her neck became slack and bothered her greatly. To best address her concerns, her surgeon recommended facelift surgery. By tightening and lifting the lower portion of her face, he would reduce the appearance of wrinkles and make her face appear younger.

She recovered beautifully from her facelift and returned to our Los Angeles-area office for her postoperative evaluation. As shown in her "after" photos, her skin is visibly tighter, and the excess skin and fat below her chin have been significantly reduced. She is particularly pleased with the way her wrinkles were smoothed after her operation.
