This is a 57-year-old patient who felt that she appeared older than her true age. She shows all of the typical signs of facial aging, including lowered eyebrows, extra skin over the upper eyelids, the puffiness of her lower lids, as well as laxity in the jowls and neck areas. Her post-operative photograph was taken approximately eight months following surgery. You can see that it looks as if the patient has decreased approximately 15 years off her age. She has a very nice jaw and neckline. Her eyes also appear more open and the extra skin over her upper eyelids has been removed. There is now no puffiness of the lower lids. In addition, the area in between her eyebrows, which is very deep, has softened, because during the endoscopic brow lift, I was able to cut and remove approximately 75% of those muscles.

This patient presented stating that she had done quite a bit of research prior to being evaluated by our practice for a face and neck lift. She wanted to have a very natural outcome and her primary fear was that she would look too pulled or tight. She underwent an endoscopic brow lift, as well as upper and lower lid blepharoplasties. We discussed the amount of extra skin in her lower eyelids and rather than taking skin out, we discussed performing, at a later date, some tightening of this skin with laser. My concern is always that if the patient has too much laxity of the lower eyelid or does not have sufficient cheekbone structure to support the lower eyelids, taking skin out will lead to the eyelid drooping over time.
