This 55-year-old woman came to Dr. Walsh seeking a refreshed appearance after an incredible weight loss journey. Having successfully lost 100 pounds and maintaining a stable weight for three years, she was deeply bothered by the excess, hanging skin and laxity of her lower face and neck. She had always been bothered by the contour of her neck, but following the weight loss she finally felt ready to make a change.
To address her goals, Dr. Walsh performed a comprehensive facelift and neck lift under general anesthesia. During the procedure, she meticulously repaired the patient’s weakened platysma muscle to reduce banding and define her jawline. Dr. Walsh also performed neck liposuction and utilized fat grafting, harvesting fat from her abdomen and precisely transferring it to restore natural, youthful volume to her midface, lips, nasolabial folds, and marionette lines.
Following a smooth recovery, the patient was very pleased. By her four-week post-operative visit, she was feeling excellent and absolutely thrilled with her beautifully contoured, younger-looking profile.
