Male Facelift Patient 3

This 56 year old dentist expressed concern about facial aging. Specifically, he was bothered by the puffiness of his lower eyelids, heaviness of his upper eyelids, increasingly prominent nasolabial folds and lax skin in his neck. He had undergone an upper and lower lid blepharoplasty elsewhere 30 years ago. Dr. Parker employed the following techniques to address the patient’s concerns. An upper lid blepharoplasty was performed. Through the upper eyelid incisions, the corrugator and procerus muscles were removed and a brow pexy done. Fat was removed and translocated to soften the nasojugal grooves using a transconjunctival approach in the lower eyelids. A lateral canthopexy was also performed to support the lower lid and a conservative amount of skin removed. A face and neck lift was also performed including careful fat injections to help improve the nasolabial folds. Postoperatively, the patient was very pleased with his facial rejuvenation. Additionally, he received many favorable comments from patients and friends about his more youthful, yet natural appearance.
