Facelifts work well in older patients too. While decreased skin elasticity and facial fat atrophy pose challenges, the usual surgical techniques work quite nicely. First time facelifts in this age group can achieve more dramatic changes than even those seen in younger patients, while still achieving an equally natural result.
For the surgeons: SMAS-ectomy worked great in this patient due to a great bony framework, light soft tissues and mild soft tissue descent. Perioral resurfacing of the central lower face (dermabrasion) a critical adjunct here. Lip lifts (not done here) also common in this age group where the columella-lip distance is often 20 mm or more.

Abdominoplasty procedures constitute a trade: a flat abdomen for a hip-to-hip scar, and one around the navel. How the scars heal is one of the biggest variables. Favorable genetics, fair coloring, and time are key factors promoting excellent scar quality, surgical technique surprisingly less so. A few exceptional outcomes are shown here.

Many patients come to us simply to restore their breasts following childbirth. Implants alone without a lift works for most, like shown here. Silicone is often better than saline because the tissues are usually thinner in this scenario. Here, 6 weeks after surgery, we can report that she is very pleased!
