Deep Plane Facelift Before & After Case 6

This patient came to Karter Advanced Facial Plastic Surgery on the edge of her early 70s, seeking a refreshed appearance that would match her active lifestyle. As someone who works out regularly and takes care of her family, she noticed her cheeks had started to descend and create heaviness around her mouth. Her goal was not dramatic change, but to restore a more youthful look while maintaining her natural features. She voiced concerns about downtime, given her busy caretaking responsibilities, and wanted to resume her routines as soon as possible.

To address her concerns, we performed a deep plane facelift with additional fat grafting to the lower eyelid regions and an upper blepharoplasty. These combined techniques were chosen to lift and recontour the cheeks, soften the areas around the mouth, and subtly rejuvenate the eyes. Her recovery progressed well. She was able to return to her daily activities quickly, which fit her needs and schedule.

Outcomes from her deep plane facelift reflect the balanced goals set before surgery. Her cheeks were repositioned to a more youthful projection, while fine areas under her eyes and upper eyelids appeared more rested. The results harmonized her features, staying true to the appearance she valued.

Through Dr. Karter's approach, he focuses on advanced surgical technique and patient-centered care. At Karter Advanced Facial Plastic Surgery, we emphasize precision and individualized planning, ensuring each Deep Plane Facelift addresses the patient’s anatomy and lifestyle.
