Laser Skin Resurfacing Before & After Case 2566
Case Details
This patient chose to undergo a Traceless Deep Plane Facelift in Los Angeles with the goal of facial rejuvenation as she approached her 55th birthday. Her decision came after much consideration and research, including years of following Dr. David Stoker’s practice. She wished to address the natural aging changes she had noticed over the past several decades, including skin laxity along the lower face and neck, as well as accumulated wrinkles and changes in overall skin texture.
Her elective procedure combined a Traceless Deep Plane Facelift with fractional carbon dioxide laser resurfacing. In the early days of recovery, the patient experienced common concerns such as anxiety and swelling, which Dr. Stoker and his team prepared her for in advance. She described the first week as challenging, especially during the initial transition period while her skin healed and swelling subsided. Despite this, she reported strong support from the aftercare team and clear communication throughout each phase of recovery.
By day 13, immediately after suture removal, the patient saw significant changes in her appearance, noting smoother skin, restored contours, and a natural look that reflected her younger self. She emphasized feeling confident even without makeup or hairstyling. The synergy of the Traceless Deep Plane Facelift with laser skin resurfacing resulted in a noticeable yet subtle transformation, aligning with her expectations for a refreshed but not "operated" appearance.
Dr. David Stoker’s approach to the Traceless Deep Plane Facelift in Los Angeles is informed by years of advanced training, clinical research, and patient care. His expertise in both facelift techniques and laser technologies ensures individualized treatment for each patient’s needs. The case above reflects his commitment to natural-looking results and comprehensive support throughout the surgical journey.
