This patient in her early sixties came to the office to discuss options for Facial Rejuvenation with Dr. Connors. Over the years, her concerns had grown regarding loss of elasticity in her skin, especially in the mid- and lower-face, her neck, and bags and dark circling under her eyes. She felt as though these concerns made her look tired and older than her age. At her consultation, the patient and Dr. Connors developed a surgical plan to address all of these areas. During surgery, Dr. Connors performed a Midface Lift, a Lower Facelift, a Necklift, and a Lower Eyelid Lift (Lower Blepharoplasty). With this combination of procedures, Dr. Connors was able to tighten and remove the excess skin of the mid- and lower-face, improving the appearance of the patient's cheeks, jowls, and jawline. He did the same with the excess skin of the patient's neck, giving her a tight and contoured submental (under the chin) and neck area. Dr. Connors also smoothed out the area underneath the patient's eyes by re-positioning and removing the excess fat cells that were creating the bags. The re-positioning of the fat also acts as a buffer between the blood vessels and the skin under the eyes, reducing the appearance of dark circles. The patient absolutely loves her natural results and her more youthful appearance!
