This patient was kind enough to let me share - and also to let me perform all of the procedures that we wanted to truly rejuvenate her face. As we typically do, I look at pictures of the patient before any aging has set in (20s/30s is best). Many times we see aging changes in the entire face including the lips. It may seem counterintuitive but sometimes correcting many small things together can actually appear more natural and gives a better “flow” - avoiding common stigmata such as a tight face but with laxity in the temples/brow or a long upper lip. At the foundation of all of this is my signature deep plane face and neck lift that produces very long lasting changes to the face while looking very natural and not “pulled”.
