Patient 10
This 55 year-old lady underwent a combination of facial aesthetic procedures to address signs of ageing. A deep plane facelift was used to restore a crisp jawline. A reduction of deep neck tissues including submandibular glands together with tightening of the platysma muscle through a deep neck lift delivered a more youthful neck contour. In the upper face, an upper and lower blepharoplasty (using a transconjunctival fat repositioning technique) was performed to rejuvenate the eyelids. As is often the case, a gliding browlift was required in addition to the blepharoplasty to get the best result as the depressed position of the brow was contributing to upper eyelid heaviness. A gliding browlift can be performed through the upper part of the facelift incision and therefore does not require any additional incisions. Outcome at 6 months.
