Beyond the Facelift: A Comprehensive Approach to Natural-Looking Facial Results
Facial aging can affect the skin, underlying tissues, facial volume, eyes, lips, and jawline. For patients considering facelift surgery in Orange County, addressing these changes may involve combining a facelift with complementary procedures based on the patient’s anatomy and aesthetic goals.
This patient underwent a SMASectomy facelift with an anterior hairline incision, fat grafting to the cheeks and marionette areas, an upper lip lift with perioral dermabrasion, and quad blepharoplasty. Her facelift before-and-after results show the improvements achieved across the face while preserving her natural features.
SMASectomy Facelift and Facial Fat Grafting
A SMASectomy facelift addresses the deeper facial tissues to improve definition through the lower face and jawline. Dr. Dan Mills combined this technique with fat grafting to the cheeks and marionette areas, restoring volume where needed to complement the structural changes of the facelift.
Addressing the Eyes, Lips, and Perioral Area
The patient also underwent quad blepharoplasty to address the upper and lower eyelids, as well as an upper lip lift with perioral dermabrasion. These complementary procedures allowed Dr. Mills to address areas that are not directly treated by facelift surgery.
An Individualized Approach to Facial Surgery
No single procedure addresses every sign of facial aging. The appropriate surgical plan depends on a patient’s anatomy, concerns, and desired outcome. As a board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Dan Mills develops individualized treatment plans for patients seeking facelift surgery in Laguna Beach, Orange County, and throughout Southern California.
