This patient, who is in her early 50s, first visited Dr. Frey because she was concerned about sagging in her lower face following significant weight loss. She later returned to discuss her drooping eyelids, expressing a desire for a more rested and youthful look.
During the initial exam, Dr. Frey noted sagging along the jawline, a bit of extra fat under the chin, and loose skin and visible muscle bands in the neck. While her eyebrows were in a good position, she had heavy, excess skin on both upper eyelids, particularly near the inner corners. Dr. Frey also noticed some puffiness in the upper lids caused by small fat deposits but confirmed that the muscles responsible for lifting the lids were functioning normally. Based on these findings, Dr. Frey determined she was an ideal candidate for a full lower facelift and an upper eyelid lift also called an upper blepharoplasty. The patient is now thrilled with her outcome. Her three-month recovery photos are stunning, showing a dramatic improvement in her neck and the lower third of her face. By tightening the deep supportive tissues and removing excess skin, Dr. Frey was able to restore a youthful contour. Her eyes look bright and refreshed, creating a balanced, cohesive look across her entire face. Choosing to combine these procedures into a single surgery provided a truly exceptional result..
