This patient in her early 70s consulted with Dr. Buckignham regarding her advanced photoaging and facial volume depletion. Following a multi-layered surgical rejuvenation by Dr. Buckingham—including a revision eyelid lift, limited-incision facelift, fat transfer, and CO2 laser resurfacing—the patient achieved a refreshed, natural and youthful aesthetic. While surgery addressed the structural laxity, her long-term "glow-up" now depends on a post-surgical upkeep protocol customized by Rene' Thomas, R.N., using DAXXIFY® for her glabella, forehead, crow's feet, upper lip, and chin. This along with consistent skincare maintains her smooth, laser-refined skin texture. This will also prevent the return of dynamic muscle movements that would otherwise re-etch lines into her newly resurfaced skin. This shift from surgical correction to proactive maintenance is essential for preserving her youthful radiance and preventing the recurrence of a tired appearance.
