This case illustrates the surgical management of advanced facial and cervical ageing in a woman in her early 70s.
A facelift resets the clock; it doesn't stop it. This case describes revision face & neck lift in a 62-year-old woman who had a SMAS-based face and neck lift 15 years earlier. In the years since, the ordinary process of facial ageing continued over the results of that first operation: heaviness returned to her lower eyelids, her nasolabial folds and marionette lines deepened, jowling reappeared along an increasingly indistinct jawline, and the sharp neck contour her original surgery had achieved gradually softened into an obtuse cervicomental angle.
All surgery and invasive procedures carry risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner. Read our full information on the risks of surgery. Dr David Sparks — Specialist Plastic Surgeon, MED0001863770.
