This 56-year-old patient presented for consultation with Dr. Ed Buckingham seeking rejuvenation of the lower face, neck, and periorbital region. She expressed aesthetic concerns about the progressive sagging along her jawline, loose skin on her neck, and a chronically tired appearance of her eyes due to drooping upper lids.
Drawing on over two decades of experience, Dr. Buckingham customized a surgical plan for her and performed a lower facelift, neck lift, and upper eyelid surgery. Rather than merely tightening the surface skin, he utilized a deep-tissue approach to structurally elevate the underlying facial muscles and reposition displaced fat. This technique successfully lifted the mid and lower portions of her face, restored a defined jawline, smoothed the contours of the neck, and corrected the heavy, fatigued appearance around the eyes. The surgery was highly successful and achieved great facial balance. The patient looks significantly refreshed and more youthful, with results that blend perfectly with her natural features.
