This 48-year-old, Dallas woman complained that in recent years her cheeks had sagged making her look tired. She also didn’t like the jowls that had formed along her jawline or the loose skin on her neck.

We performed a full facelift including, an Endotine midface lift, a jowl suture lift, a neck lift, and an Endotine endoscopic browlift.

Notice how this facelift technique restores gentle fullness in the upper cheekbones. The jowls are gone and the neck is smooth. This is the soft look of youth.

A standard facelift would flatten her cheeks even more – exactly the opposite of what we wanted. Instead, I did a three-level facelift to rejuvenate and restore her facial shape.

I started with an Endotine midface lift. This returned the sagging cheek tissues back up onto the cheekbones. Next, I suture tightened the lower facial fat to eliminate the jowls.

The final step was a gentle skin tightening through a modified facelift incision. This is unlike the forceful skin pulling done in conventional facelifts. Because we have already raised the cheek tissues and tightened the fat, I don’t need to pull hard on the skin to try to move those deeper structures. All that’s needed a conservative skin removal to get of any looseness on the cheeks and neck.

After healing, she looks younger and prettier. The result looks natural – not operated.
