Facelift - Traceless Facelift Before & After Case 323

This 72-year-old woman was unhappy with the loose skin on her neck. She felt that the excess skin made her look like she had a "double chin." It was time to make a change, and she knew that finding the right cosmetic surgeon in Los Angeles was important and scheduled an appointment at Dr. Stoker's practice.

The day of her consultation, her surgeon listened to her concerns and then performed a brief physical examination to identify her bone structure, skin elasticity and thickness, and extent of wrinkles and folds. He recommended a neck lift to remove the sagging skin from under her chin and restore a more youthful-looking contour. 

For her operation, the surgeon made small, inconspicuous incisions behind the ear to hide any scarring. He pulled the skin up and back, being sure to remove any excess, and tightened the neck muscles. Just two weeks after the surgery, the patient shows no bruising and looks much younger with a more defined jawline. She is very happy with her decision.
