At 64 years old, this patient visited Long Island Facelift with a desire to address several age-related changes she had begun to notice more prominently.
She felt that the reflection in the mirror no longer matched how vibrant and active she felt. Her primary concerns were the sagging along her jawline and neck, loose skin around her eyes, and an overall tired appearance.
She wasn’t interested in looking like a different person. Her goal was to look more refreshed, more rested, and more like the best version of herself.
Our Surgical Plan
We began with a comprehensive consultation to assess her facial anatomy and listen to her concerns. After reviewing her photos, medical history, and aesthetic goals, we developed a personalized plan using a combination of procedures to restore balance and rejuvenation.
Facelift
The laxity in her lower face and early jowling were creating a pulled-down, aging look. A deep-layer facelift allowed us to reposition facial tissues and restore younger contours along the cheeks and jawline. By lifting the tissues below the skin, we achieved long-lasting improvement without a stretched appearance.
Neck Lift
Her neckline had softened significantly, with visible banding under the chin and a loss of definition. A neck lift was performed to remove excess skin, tighten the platysma muscles, and restore a clear distinction between her jaw and neck. The result is a smoother, firmer contour that significantly enhances her profile.
Upper and Lower Eyelid Surgery
She had noticeable heaviness in her upper eyelids and puffiness beneath the eyes. An upper blepharoplasty removed redundant skin, giving her eyelids a lighter, more open look. The lower blepharoplasty addressed under-eye bags and hollowing, improving the transition between her eyes and cheeks. These changes gave her a brighter expression without altering her natural features.
A Cohesive, Natural-Looking Result
Following surgery, her face appears lifted and more defined, yet completely natural. The jowls are gone. The jawline is firmer. Her neck is smoother and more refined. Her eyes appear more open and alert. Most importantly, every improvement works together harmoniously rather than drawing attention to any single feature.
The incisions were carefully placed to remain hidden along the natural creases around her ears and within the eyelid folds. As healing progressed, the scars became barely noticeable. Her overall appearance improved week by week, and the final results speak for themselves.
What Sets This Transformation Apart
The success of her outcome came from a comprehensive approach. At Long Island Facelift, we believe in restoring balance across the entire face rather than chasing one isolated concern. Treating only her jawline or eyes alone would not have delivered this level of natural enhancement.
By taking the time to understand her goals and tailoring a multi-step plan that addressed both facial structure and expression, we achieved a look that feels genuine and refreshed. She now carries herself with renewed confidence, and her face reflects the energy and vibrance she always had.
