Before & After

Before After

Eyelid Lift Patient 6

This healthy 45-year-old woman was dissatisfied with the appearance of excess skin on her upper and lower eyelids. She underwent bilateral upper and lower eyelid surgery, with approximately 4 mm of skin removed from each upper eyelid and 3 mm from each lower eyelid. The patient was very happy with her final results. The after photos, taken seven months post-surgery, showcase her transformation.

Before After

Facelift Patient 3

This 54-year-old man was concerned about the appearance of his neck following a 30-pound weight loss. He underwent a full facelift, which included liposuction, skin removal, and repositioning. Approximately 130 grams (0.28 pounds) of fat was removed from his neck, along with skin removal and repositioning in the area. About one year after his initial procedure, he also underwent scar revision to soften the appearance of scar tissue. His new profile achieved the look he desired, and he is very satisfied with his results. The after photos, taken eighteen months post-procedure, highlight his transformation.

Before After

Nose Reshaping Patient 11

This 18-year-old woman experienced prior nasal trauma while playing sports, resulting in a deviated septum and concerns about a 'hump' on her nose. She chose to undergo nose reshaping (rhinoplasty) with septoplasty, which included dorsal hump removal and mild tip modification. The after photos, taken 11 months post-surgery, showcase her progress.
