Mini Facelift Before & After Case 12191

This patient sought facial rejuvenation to address concerns about visible jowls, neck laxity and the overall contour of her lower face. She wanted to achieve a younger, refreshed appearance but maintain a natural look. After careful consultation, her treatment plan included an SMAS facelift to rejuvenate the neck and jawline.

Her procedure involved a SMASectomy with plication technique, targeting the deeper structures of the face. Tightening of the platysma muscle in the neck helped refine her jawline and address sagging in the neck. Postoperative photos, taken two months after surgery, show improvement in her neck and jawline definition, reduction in jowling and a smoother transition from her face to her neck.

The patient’s goals were met with a balanced, naturally rejuvenated look. She experienced a marked improvement in the specific areas of concern, while preserving authentic facial expressions and contours. Her results demonstrate the restorative potential of an SMAS facelift in Denver and Colorado Springs for those seeking subtle yet significant facial rejuvenation.
