This patient is a famed cosmetic dentist and the father of cosmetic dentistry. Images here show his journey from ONLY 10 days after a deep plane facelift and neck lift to lift jowls and remove deep neck fat and sagging neck, rhinoplasty to lift the tip of the nose (common with aging noses), and blepharoplasty to lift sagging eyelid skin & laser to make sure skin matches the youthful new face.
10 days post-operation, the patient went back to work, although some swelling is still present. Improvement is dramatic but natural because the deep tissue was lifted in the proper direction with no distortion of the mouth or eyes and because we do not separate deep tissue from the skin in a deep plane facelift. The patient recovered quickly partly because tissue glue was used and no drains were used and partly to Dr techniques in a deep plane facelift.
The last image is 5 weeks post-op.
He easily looks 20 years younger and still looks like himself.

56 year old patient who underwent upper blepharoplasty and lower transconjunctival blepharoplasty with external skin resurfacing with fraxel_co2 laser. Note patient is shown early in postoperative period and is still slightly swollen. The lower lid incision was inside eyelid, avoiding an external incision. Additionally, very conservative fat removal with laser was done in lower lid to avoid the hollow look. Some fat from the lower lid was redraped into the line below the baggy area to prevent that older hollow look. The laser addresses the wrinkled poor quality skin which cannot be improved with a regular skin-removal blepharoplasty alone. Also by avoiding excision of lower eyelid skin, you avoid a malpositioning (lowering) of the lower lid.

An eyelift removes redundant skin and reduces excess fat.
