This patient in her mid-60s consulted with Dr. Ed Buckingham regarding aging concerns in her lower face. Although she had previously undergone upper face rejuvenation at another practice, having had a brow lift and eyelid surgery, she sought a double board-certified specialist with deep expertise in complex facial anatomy, extensive surgical experience, and a warm, trusted bedside manner. Finding Buckingham Center’s Quad A (AAAASF) accredited surgical facility provided her additional peace of mind, knowing her procedure would take place in a premier, top-tier facial plastic surgery center.
During her physical evaluation, Dr. Buckingham noted sagging in the mid-face, deep lines around the corners of the mouth, jowl formation along the jawline, loose skin and fullness in the neck, and separation of the central neck muscles (with the left side showing more separation than the right). He also noted that her earlobes were detached and stretched out. To address these concerns, Dr. Buckingham performed a custom lower facelift combined with a neck muscle tightening procedure (platysmaplasty) and an earlobe reduction. Upon review of her 3-monthpost operative photos, the results are stunning and highlight her enhanced beauty. The patient is thrilled with her naturally refreshed, rejuvenated appearance.
