Patient 21
Deep-Plane Facelift and Fat Grafting
A 64-year-old patient with descent of the cervicofacial SMAS-platysma system and cervical skin laxity. Visual fatigue is also noted due to fat atrophy and lack of support under the lower eyelid. A deep-plane facelift was performed, combined with facial fat grafting. The patient enjoys a beautifully rejuvenated appearance with an uncomplicated recovery.
Deep-Plane High and Low SMAS Facelift with Eyelid Surgery
A 66-year-old patient presented with vertical and medial descent of the cervicofacial SMAS-platysma system and cervical skin laxity, worsened by a history of multiple previous cervical surgeries. The patient also showed visual fatigue due to excess skin on the upper eyelid and fat atrophy with a lack of support under the lower eyelid.
The treatment performed included:
- A deep-plane facelift with high and low SMAS techniques.
- Upper eyelid blepharoplasty to correct the excess skin on the upper eyelid.
- Facial fat grafting to restore volume and support tissues under the lower eyelid.
Improvement of Neck and Facial Contour
A 54-year-old patient was troubled by sagging of the neck oval and lack of support in the face, particularly under the lower eyelid and the corners of the mouth. A "Deep plane high and low SMAS" facelift was performed, combined with submental liposuction and facial fat grafting. All incisions are discreetly camouflaged around the ear and hairline, with no submental incision required. The postoperative course was straightforward. At two weeks post-op, the patient has resumed social activities with her hair down. Both the patient and the surgeon are pleased.
